Soooooo…

  • a gay character? Sounds OK if they will make it interesting.
  • a female lead? Sounds OK if they make her interesting.
  • thinking about how “diverse” she should be? If I was “non-white” I would probably find it offensive.

why? what would you be offended about?

NO STAR TREK FAN CARES about the skin colour of the main protagonist. We want a good actress playing a well written character! Thinks like gender / race / sexual orientation should NOT be the “defining attributes” of a character

I don’t remember race being the defining attribute of Sisko or gender being the defining attribute of Janeway.

  • making it serialized instead of episodic - I don’t know what to think yet. The Star Trek format has been always episodic,

Deep Space Nine turned from being episodic to serialized, but I would prefer episodic.

  • forcing me to get Netflix ONLY for this - I hate you for this.

ditto.
