That makes more sense if they meant shows not characters."We've seen six characters from the captain's point of view," Fuller said.
Ohboy...here we go again.And, yes, he confirmed, there will feature a gay regular character.

Hopefully not... I'd like to think the people who watch Star Trek understand why that doesn't matter at all. The series has always been about multicultural/multinational/etc ideal future where we all co-exist with eachother. Throw in some Gendernull halfduck Demirabbits if you want so long as they don't make some loud obnoxious patriarchy-smashing Anti-Yourfuckingfanbase bullshit out of it It fits completely with the spirit of the show.
Well, this is going to suck.
The ship video seemed off to me. For some reason I thought the ship looked more Klingon than Human.
I hope they iron out the design, and the effects/treatment they used a but more before the episodes hit the air/web.
Star Trek has gone down that road since he died.
I wonder what the "incident" they are referring to will end up being. Earth/Romulus War maybe?
That was my first thought too but after some wiki searches the Romulan war was apparently more like 100 years before TOS.
I honestly have no idea what the big "event" is. The only things I can think of that happened during that period is the reboot movie that established the Kelvin timeline, and the pilot episode for the original series. Both of which have been pretty well covered.
Maybe it's hasn't been fully explored in the same way that John Harrison was totally not Khan?
I wasn't born when ToS was airing, so I'd say its more... generational gap.
And I'm going to go apples and oranges on this one, both fruits, not at all the same thing.
Well, yes. What was loud, obnoxious patriarchy-smashing bullshit in the 1960's doesn't bother you because you weren't born. What was loud, obnoxious patriarchy-smashing bullshit in the 1980's doesn't bother you because you were either not born or just a kid and didn't have a fully developed set of values. It is only the loud, obnoxious patriarchy-smashing bullshit in the context of the 2010's that bothers you because you are now an old person. That doesn't change the fact that Star Trek has pretty much always been a vehicle for loud, obnoxious patriarchy-smashing bullshit in the context of its time of writing.
I'm more talking to the point that ToS and TNG were tackling issues of actual bigotry, where as "Patriarchy" in context of my original post doesn't actually exist and is a boogieman.
But honestly I'm not here to bash my head on rock in hopes the rock decides to move, so I'll just agree I'm getting old.
I'm not sure what kind of social issues they can touch on that haven't already been done up to this point. TOS, TNG, and DS9 covered so much. Just off the top of my head--racism, homosexuality, transgender (Riker fucked the alien, of course), slavery, war, PTSD, depression, anxiety, evolution, genetic engineering, use of torture, espionage, security vs. freedom, right to suicide, religion, and probably a dozen other things I could remember if I spent a few minutes browsing a wiki to refresh my memory.
The klingon thing was unfortunately much more than touched on. Enterprise took it upon itself to address the change in a multi-episode story about some kind of genetic engineering guest-starring brent spiner(Data) as an ancestor of data's creator.
The only major historical events that really haven't been touched on have been the Romulan Klingon war, of Enterpise C history, and the Romulan Federation war, that happens before this timeline, but from what I recall, the latter was fought without either side seeing the other until the ToS episode. If it was something else, it must have been very 'in passing' or they are making it a bigger point then has previously been alluded. I suppose it could be from something non-TV cannon, like the games/books, but I don't know much about those.
