What the Internet thought about Sisko in 1994

Yeah, and we got to experience it all at 9600 bytes per second!

Interesting seeing all the same crap about "Oh a black person got a job must be trying to be POLITICALLY CORRECT" already rampant back then.
 
It must have been in 1994 that I asked what that "internet" was I kept hearing about. Turned out I had been on it for a year, but never knew the collection of everything I could do there was called so.

Sigh. Kids.

In 1969, computers of several different manufacturers with different communications architectures were successfully connected forming the arpanet. One the Defence Department pulled ARPA out of it, it changed its name to the Internet. At first it was mostly for research institutions to collaborate.
 
So, TV had an insidious political agenda back then too apparently.

Doubtless it wasn't canon though so that's ok, anything similar for that terrible feminazi mary sue Janeway? Was she an embarrassment to strong women everywhere just like Burham?
 
KInd of the opposite: people were saying that Janeway was being written as a bad captain as propaganda against women in command.

Damn I meant to add 'About Sisko' in the title.

I bet most of the members of the "Haters-of-Sisko anti-fanclub" from season 1 there would have changed their tune by season 4, hehe. To say nothing of seasons 5 and 6...

But that was the same era when everyone said "Data was the most human character on (TNG), everyone else was a robot", one of the continual complaints about TNG.

Ah the early days of the internet with dial-up, where you could go make a brew and the page would still be loading. ;)

What are these "pages loading" you speak of? In the early days of the internet with dial-up that I remember, there were just lines of text making their slow way across your screen. (Worldwide web popularized mid-90s, well after dial-up was anything but an emergency backup.)
 
24 years later ... some people still stuck with little things that not contributes to clear the great picture ... once and again.
 
How is it pretentious to have a black man or a woman as the lead character? That makes no sense whatsoever. There's nothing pretentious about variety. Both actors were great in the roles regardless of race or gender. If adding diversity to the franchise leads is a problem for some then perhaps Star Trek is not for them.
