Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script. Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.

The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character

That’s right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.

i’m pretty sure it’s because they tried to make degrassi in space.

I’m not defending him, but let’s be honest with ourselves here. He was born nearly a decade before World War II. It’s amazing that he’s this progressive. Credit where credit is due.

It’s wholly owned and operated by Paramount Skydance. I’m sure they have to “pay” the parent company for tax reasons and stuff but why would that be an issue here? The content rights are all owned by the same company that owns Pluto TV.

I really like the pre-Federation Vulkan ships. They’re so elegant looking.

You got a Sao Paulo? All I got was a shitty Valiant.

Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.

This is one of several scenes that I bet the actors never expected to be released in 1080p…
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
Her official role was ship’s councilor, so I’d guess it was to make people feel more at ease and less like they’re talking about their issues to an officer. But mostly - Rick Berman.

Worf: I do not see why it is necessary to wear these… ridiculous uniforms.
Riker: Protocol.
Worf: They look like dresses.
Riker: That is an incredibly outmoded and sexist attitude! I’m surprised at you. Besides, you look good in a dress.

Manual mode is so much fun! I the Thrustmaster T1600M that came with rudder pedals and a throttle, and i broke this plastic ring in the flight stick that keeps it from completely turning around when you twist it. I should have just used the rudder pedals but they kept slipping out from under me, and its hard enough to play that game in VR as it is lol.

I broke my joystick dogfighting in VR lol, no E:D for me for a while
- Comment on Drive with “Star Trek” on Waze. 3 weeks ago:
Somewhat unrelated, but the actors have done other voiceover stuff too and most of it is really fun! If anyone plays Elite: Dangerous you can replace the ship computer voice with Data! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNI5PM6tr4M

The Doctor, voiced by Robert Picardo, brings his signature charm and encyclopedic knowledge to your drive with analytic ease and wit to help you navigate everything from traffic hazards to the final frontier of your daily commute.
That sounds fairly concrete to me tbh

It’s all fun and games until you have to spend 3 actual days ripping 50 blu-ray disks to your media server.
