I watched the first few episodes, and it just didn’t grab me. Its not bad I guess, but it didn’t have the same charm Roddenberry had. Honestly, I don’t like any nutrek, I just watch tng/ds9/voy/ent over and over.
Jesus fuck that article goes on forever. One thing is clear, the author has never talked to trans people about their experiences on hormones. Its a key part of gender politics since it provides clear evidence on how different men and women think.
I think the story comes first. A diversity first approach just leads to a terrible story. Something like the Shawshank Redemption, thats a good story but it has no women. And when you have diversity first, you (generally speaking) don’t get good stories. Its not impossible, to be sure, but it usually turns into gimmicks and token characters.
