Lmao @ the people whining about the most recent TrekCulture video I edited. Fortunately a lot more asked for more videos in the series 🤷🏻‍♂️

So the other point of the video is discussing the limits the show was forced to operate under. Like how they wanted to introduce a gay character in 1991, but that didn't end up happening until 2017. Lots of great info in this video tbh. Jack did amazing research

That's part of the point of the video, to highlight the progressive things that have been happening all along. But also as a show that aired during the height of the AIDS crisis (it's closer to 40 years old), there were also societal limits, things people would've complained about in stricter times

His only promotion, straight from Ensign to Admiral. He had the experience after all 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe it'll be a multiverse episode. But does that make it better or worse if so?

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

BUT WAIT, YOU'RE CALLING THEM FILLER, HOW DARE oh wait it's a positive list :)

Sometimes, I make jokes for me!

#StarTrek has many episodes which might not be the most exciting, or even affect the overall arc - but does that make them any less great?

I argue - no!
