kateelliottsff:killingforsport-eatingthebodies:amorremanet:kittensandscience:science-officer-spock:sound familiar?“It was always too philosophical for me”“I want to make a movie for movie fans”“It’s not for Star Trek fans, it’s for people like me”“Khan can’t be brown, he’ll be seen as a terrorist and nothing will change that”“Who cares if he’s white. It’s about the acting, nobody’s gonna pay for someone who isn’t as famous as benedict”“Star Trek has a large male fanbase so we have to appeal to them (by always having women in their underwear)“Carol Marcus was a talented scientist but now she’s in her underwear, same as Uhura - I guess the public is not ready for educated women with equal positions”“It’s 2013! and we’re still putting up with racism!”“Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek always promoted equality and paid wave for coloured actors, and this is still happening?”“It’s done, why do you still care, things can’t be different”What’re those images from?“Far Beyond the Stars,” Deep Space 9, season six, episode thirteen.Deep Space Nine, everybody.So so so many reasons why the nu!Trek movies aren’t the Star Trek I love and will never be. It’s just Hollywood running around big spaceships in flashes of air and light, with nothing underneath. Fuck those movies. Fuck them hard.One of the great episodes. Possibly the best. -- source link
