Bit shocking Sonequa isn’t being asked any questions about Michael Burnham and seems to be discussing everyone else or listening to discussions about Piks ... she is the lead of the show, @CreationEnt #STLV
How is the show lead being treated like she’s a secondary character? Why did we start with a discussion of Pike? #STLV
Now that I’ve boarded the first flight of my trip to Vegas for #STLV2018 now seems like a good time to say THE STAR TREK FANDOM IS THE BEST FANDOM #idic #llap
prof/mr trivia: @MrProfChanda and I met on OKC in 2010 and our 1st exchanges were about our shared hatred of empire and shared love of Star Trek & Shakespeare. We are now in year 5 of marriage and year 5 of collecting Star Trek actor autographs in a complete works of Shakespeare.
This will be our fourth Star Trek convention and our third one in Vegas! 🖖🏽
Did anyone else watch both Discovery and The Orville female baby episode? I’d like to discuss. My feeling is both shows ended up in “when you let cis white men do all the writing territory” but somehow I find Orville’s handling less infuriating?
* ... all the writing” territory*
Both shows try to address trans issues, kind of: Discovery by using transracialism (hey Dolezal) and Orville by having a species where a (socially assigned) female sex baby is an anomaly

What I find interesting about the Orville’s take and what isn’t addressed in any of the critiques I read is the complication of colonialism: can these humans tell another species how to handle their gender business? I actually appreciated this aspect of the narrative.
