I read their responses. I don’t understand how Star Trek Enterprise relates to Me Too and being a “Man’s Man” Star Trek. What are they trying to say?

As much as “Me Too” was supposed to be about ridding the industry of sexual harassment (and worse), it also had knock-on effects in terms of storytelling, cast composition, etc.
I don’t think it’s controversial to say that “Enterprise” was not terribly progressive by modern standards (or, in my opinion, the standards of the time) when it came to female representation in particular.

By such standards, the Original Series (#TOS) seems positively regressive. I don't mean to defend this, but I'm guessing that, at the time, it was perceived that Enterprise needed to fit into that regression.

Enterprise is the only one that gets skipped every rewatch time. I’ll just play the theme song once and move on.

You mean the season with no cohesive arc and relies on recycling plots from other shows (mirror universe, aliens taking over bodies to observe reaction to disease, men falling for Orion woman, “Section 31”, etc, etc). This season was so desperate to show “we do that too” it was embarrassing. Even the way they ended the show was worse than just killing it.

Enterprise was ridiculously “Tits out for the boys” and it was a really weird direction to go after Voyager. Like Enterprise had some dumb dumb shit, frat boy type stuff.
Characters in their underwear for quarantine, women’s shirts slipping off because they were crawling around in the vent system. Stuff that didn’t make sense and was played for Scooby Doo style laughs.
It’s all part of why it’s bad.

I feel it necessary to mention that gem of storytelling called “Huh huh huh ur a dude and ur preggers huh huh huh”.

did you somehow forget 7 of 9?
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Whose whole character arc is about the female trauma of losing control of ones body and having it occasionally violated?..
…with a large dose of how to connect with your mother figures, even when one is being a bit of a Borg queen?
No, I didn’t forget, and it’s great that Voyager hit some gender specific trauma stuff consistently with 7 of 9.
