Also quite fond of pre-Burn Discovery’s “retro-futuristic Art Deco” style.
There are dozens of us!

Oh wow even better! So this is great for people with four CDs, three CDs, maybe even two!

Wow, that’s very helpful for uh, holding… four CDs I guess.

weird how many hoops you are willing to jump through to discourage anyone talking about the gays in a positive way 🤔
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 6 days ago:
man it’s just crazy all the boxes that have to be checked in order to celebrate lgbt representation! its like the bar is set impossibly high! ugh! so crazy.
Obviously you are not a bigot and representation is a good thing too! thats why it sucks that everything has to be just so perfectly aligned in order to celebrate it! ugh!

Stop with the whattaboutism. First of all, it’s literally an interview with the actor about their character.
Secondly, declaring that articles about queer characters can only be allowed to exist if they include some unrelated “both sides” criteria is a clear attempt to silence queer voices.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 1 week ago:
Don’t feed the troll, there is no need to allow yourself to be put on the defensive justifying why an LGTBQ character exists. The person you’re replying to needs to make the case for why shouldn’t matter (but they can’t because the reason is they are bigoted).

A lot of people didn’t give a fuck about Uhura being on the bridge, but that is not a reason to NOT include her character on the bridge. Just because you don’t consider yourself bigoted does not mean that gay characters should not be celebrated for breaking new ground.

Uh… why shouldn’t they?
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On Starting Discussions With Paramount Skydance Over The Future Of Star Trek TV 1 week ago:
Oddly mature of you in this day and age to recognize that instead of publish an hour long youtube rant on the topic
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 1 week ago:
According to Karim’s recent AMA here, yes, a lot. I’m old but I have to imagine it’s a lot harder being a queer kid in 2026 than it was a decade ago!
Also, I assume that many of the Klingons we’ve seen on Star Trek over the years were gay. I think he’s just the first Klingon which was identified to the audience as gay.
Also yes, the headline makes it clear this is Star Trek’s first gay Klingon. Not *the Klingon species’ *first gay member.

Another great episode with good performances all around. SFA is setting the bar exceptionally high. I’m excited to see what the finale has in store.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x09 "300th Night" 1 week ago:
I appreciate the narrative structure of the season
Something the other new series (and a lot of “prestige” television of the past decade) struggled with… but SFA is absolutely nailing.
- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 1 week ago:
I enjoyed Discovery’s Breen arc, but I agree that I enjoyed the concept of the Breen more as a mysterious fringe-species.

You can’t stop me Kurtzman 😈

You should check out SFA!

I was surprised how much I liked Paul Wesley’s portrayal of Kirk. Wouldn’t be upset by this.

I do love that it’s a literal next generation…again

This 100%. YouTube algorithm pushes people towards the most extreme stuff, soif you search for Star Trek you’ll eventually always end up on some ragebait “show”.

I personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia
Discovery was a big hit, and although it had some nostalgic elements in the first season, it very quickly became it’s own thing and had a unique style.
SNW also seems to be pretty popular and features TOS characters, but even though it’s set in TOS era I wouldn’t say it’s appealing to nostalgia.
SFA is another one that very much it’s own thing and is NOT relying on nostalgia.
Lower Decks and PIC absolutely appeal to nostalgia, but those also seem to be much less popular with general audiences.
Just saying- that if I was a Paramount big wig I think it makes more sense to take the franchise where no star trek show has gone before, rather than backwards. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
- Comment on Karim Diané Gets Support From George Takei For Playing Star Trek’s First Gay Klingon 3 weeks ago:
“I genuinely cannot believe that a gay character on a TV show in 2026 can cause this much commotion. Y’all, like, I thought… I don’t know what I thought. Like, y’all gotta understand, I live in New York City, right? So you could be purple, in Brooklyn, and nobody cares. Nobody gives a ****. You know what I mean? So, like, when I come to the internet, and I see, like, all of these feathers being ruffled… it’s jarring, but, nevertheless, I guess it signals that there’s more work to do, so, yeah, uh, anyways, let’s talk about Kyle kissing Jay-Den in episode seven, y’all.”
😂 Gene protect this man

Same lol, they’re both great. But that’s where the similarities end as far as I can tell.
