I thought we had finally gotten beyond all this.

Then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes ahead and beams a boarding party aboard a crippled starship with the black girl set off to one side.
Tough to argue.
Full Disclosure: I don't really think so, but it's a wiseguy observation, the type of which I enjoy making.
La imagen de Snoopy y Carlitos me encanta. Buenas observación. Saludos, me quedo por aquí. Buen día desde España
ReplyDeleteTambien!
DeleteThat's an interesting observation. I haven't watched this yet so I have no idea if there was a reason they were spaced apart like that.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt there was. I watched the show religiously and didn't notice at the time. I just saw the picture on MSN and saw an opportunity to make a wiseguy observation. It's what I do.
DeleteI did not even catch that. (Of course, I was looking down at my crochet project at the time. And I wondered if the boarding party was a hallucination, considering what else was happening in the plot.) I think the director has some explaining to do.
ReplyDeleteI didn't catch it on the show. If she WAS separate like that when they beamed aboard, I'm sure it was like the Franklin picture. Those who drew it probably went, "EFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!"
DeleteTREKKIE NERD: When I saw it, I was thinking hallucination. It made no sense for the Captain and First Officer to beam aboard together (even though Kirk and Spock did it all the time in the original show). Also, no medical personnel? And why George Kirk (unless James Kirk was there)? Yep, going way nerd here. My apologies.
