There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.

If you live by a Micro Center, their house brand is pretty good.

In reality it was a gradual thing that kind of crept up over time. I said technically earlier because Desi Arnaz is “Technically” white, idk who decides where these lines are drawn, it’s definitely not me lol. William Shatner(cause that’s how he rolls I guess) also kissed actress France Nuyen (half white/half Chinese) on TV, which could also be considered first.

The kiss between Shatner and Nichols is the first kiss between a white and black person on TV. Which if you’re a racist would probably upset you the most so it gets mentioned as the first I guess.

These random audience members also owe her a debt off gratitude lol

People also forget that a white woman kissing a Cuban man on TV also wasn’t exactly cool with alot of people in the 50s. Could technically be considered the first interracial kiss 🤷🏻

My kids only one, I’ll check it out with her when she’s a bit older.

Kind of but, no. Discovery just isn’t for me and I’m not planning on ever watching the rest. Are you saying that it gets better after season 2?

Picard got a new show runner after season 2. So it’s less the show getting it’s footing and more hiring better writers.

Lower Decks and SNW I’ve liked from the start.

Unless you’re looking at Nu Trek as a whole, then I guess you’re right.

Woke didn’t evolve, it was highjacked and purposely used incorrectly to mock.

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. Woke has been used this way for decades and anyone using it differently is using it incorrectly.

So gay characters should only be in media to tell stories about gay people problems? Is that how you think the real world works, like a gay person never accomplished anything other than progressing the gay agenda. Why can’t there just be a story of a man who does a thing and then goes home to his husband. You know, like how real life works lol.

I think it’s starting to turn around.

Discovery - I stopped watching after season 2 cause I thought it was so bad

Picard - season 1-2 terrible. Season 3 pretty good

Lower Decks - all good

Strange New worlds - only watched S1, not my favorite but will definitely watch S2

Prodigy - never saw it so IDK

I think Discovery and Picard really ruined the reputation of modern Star Trek. Overall I think it’s at worst it’s average.

As a rather left leaning Person I have no problem with TOS beeing “woke” in general.

The way how “woke” ideas are implemented just feels like pandering to the audience. Black, Asian and female characters… At least they got rid of number one after the pilot, no need to pander to the female audience with two women on the bridge crew.

-Gloomys grandfather probably

Both terms are clearly defined and people choose to use them wrong, like you did with your examples.

People where always upset with the level of “wokeness” in Star Trek. The difference being that less where aware of it and if you wanted to complain you had to physically write a letter, go down to the post office, buy some stamps, and mail it in. Today you can just tweet some bullshit from your couch.
