Thanks to Paul and Angel who both sent this one in. There’s a thread about the new Star Trek film.

The star trek franchise started to go downhill with Deep space 9. The adding of actors that were chosen not for their acting ability or for fitting in with the roll but for their politically correct values.

I am not saying that they are bad actors. They just were not right for the parts they played.

Voyager suffered from the same problems. Great concept. good story line. Poor casting.

The wrath of khan is the best of the movies. I will give the new one a try with an open mind

Silly boy! It’s pure escapism. Nobody would REALLY let a woman drive a spaceship! And you realise that all those black people don’t REALLY have fannies on their foreheads or alien DNA yeah? If you saw them in the street you wouldn’t give them a second glance. They just look like perfectly normal car thieves and drug dealers.

    I thought Deep Space Nine was the pinnacle of Star Trek. Never mind.

    Nothing beats Picard. Not even the Borg. [/nerd]

    DS9 was superb. I guess he’s upset about blacktain Sisko. He should probably go watch that episode about racism in the 50s.

    Just say they’re bad actors next time.

    ..The adding of actors that were chosen not for their acting ability or for fitting in with the roll..

    Maybe he has a point. I’ve never known a black man eat a swiss roll – it just wouldn’t look right. If forced to chose between a bread roll and a donut, I reckon 99% of black people would go for the donut.

    I never generalise, but bigots are half literate and eat 2.3 swiss rolls a week.

    He must fit right in in St Albans.

    I won’t have a word said against any show that produced the fabulous 7 of 9 semi borg hot queen of space.

    Pass the kleenex would you, I need to go for a “lie down”

    The guy who wrote this seems to have forgotten that the original Star Trek back in the 1960s included a black woman, a Chinese guy and a Russian guy.

    I agree with Mellifluous about 7 of 9. The things I’d do in a holodeck session with her. Arf.

    Bring back the once great and right-thinking 60s original with Uhura, Sulu and Chekov.

    It was great before all those brown people and forrins.

    “DS9 was superb. I guess he’s upset about blacktain Sisko. He should probably go watch that episode about racism in the 50s.”

    That ep is “Far beyond the stars”, from series 6 I think. Worth watching even if you’ve not seen DS9.

    I see from the Official Star Trek shop that you can buy a fully poseable 7 of 9 action figure…

    Picard doing the mumbo or in that brown leather jacket with the alien sunlight bouncing of his bonce…..pure yet filthy joy

    Deep Shit Nine (look, I could try and get away with it by saying “do you see what I did there” but we both know it wouldn’t work) absolutely didn’t rip off the vastly less awful Babylon 5 in any way shape or form. Once you accept this, you can accept that it’s a good series. Because you can accept that the moon is made out of tapioca and ruled by geese by that point.

    It’s a myth. Nichelle Nichols was about as black and female as Walter Koenig was Russian and James Doohan was Scottish.

  15. on 24 Apr 2009 at 12:51 pm Star Trek is pretend

    Please don’t let this turn into a Star Trek debate. The most coherent post above is Jason’s from St Albans, even if he is a complete dick.

    “Nichelle Nichols was about as black and female as Walter Koenig was Russian and James Doohan was Scottish.”

    I’ve seen early pics of Nichelle Nichols “out of uniform”. She’s all black, all female, hurrrrrrrrr….

  17. on 24 Apr 2009 at 1:43 pm Rick Ross

    Geordi La Forge was both black and blind. it didn’t start with DS9.

  18. on 24 Apr 2009 at 1:56 pm Dr Shade

    Meh.

    Blake’s 7 and the Firefly crew could kick the hippy-feelgood shitehawk arse off all your Treks including the one with the tubby Captain and his pointy-eared boyfriend.

    And give me Jenna or Kaylee over that 7-out-of-10-cats-who-expressed-a-preference-preferred-Whiskas bint anyday!

  19. on 24 Apr 2009 at 1:57 pm Col John Matrix

    I think Jason from St Alban’s grievance wasn’t that those pesky minorities were appearing in the newer Star Treks (since there’s been darkies and wimmin in Star Trek before), but that he doesn’t like the fact that they were starting to be cast as captains and such like.

    Clearly the Federation is discriminating against single white indigenous males and giving the captaincies to darkies and wimmin instead just to reach their politically correct quotas.

  20. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:03 pm Ceannair

    Sulu was both Asian AND the actor who played him was gay.

    All he needed was a wheelchair and he’s perfect.

  21. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:04 pm Rod Wrongnob

    I’ve not been paying attention to it for about 15 years but if it’s properly politically correct, there must be some gay characters now. Are they well cast? If there’s trans-species lezzing in the new film I’d be prepared to give it a try with an open mind. I suspect that’s Jason’s secret hope too.

  22. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:28 pm The Idle Johson

    In St Albans nobody can hear you scream.

  23. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:32 pm Dolly's evil nemesis

    Jason from St Alban’s, Alban from St Jason’s, whoever, he’s quite right. The whole Star Trek “franchise” (eh?) would have been better if every single cast had consisted of slightly overweight young white men with very short hair and horrible aggressive dogs. They could drive round too fast in their spaceships boldly going places where the food’s all foreign and that and practically everyone’s a darkie or queer or both and they could take the piss out of all the foreigners and immigrants and stuff and tell them how it was better to be white and English yeah. Now THAT’s casting.

    Blah blah blah Star Trek blah blah blah masturbation blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah boring opinion blah blah blah blah take it to HYS blah blah blahblah blah blah

  25. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:36 pm The Idle Johnson

    I’m that lazy I couldn’t even be arsed to spell me name right. And it should’ve read: In St Albans no one can hear you scream.

    Plus, Jason, try watching The Wire, it’s political correctness gone mad!!!!

  26. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:47 pm pigfrottage

    digible,

    Can you not like Babylon 5 and DS9 at the same time? DS9 is derivative in the sense that it was a space station near a key point in space, but it did cool new things too. The changeling/dominion stuff was top notch sci-fi. Plus Dax was hot…

  27. on 24 Apr 2009 at 2:50 pm Mr Cat

    Blah blah blah Star Trek blah blah blah masturbation blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah boring opinion blah blah blah blah take it to HYS blah blah blahblah blah blah

    I think you’re being too nice here, and subtle. Try:

    Blah blah blah NOT A STAR TREK CONVENTION blah blah blah ITS REALLY BORING WHEN PEOPLE TAKE IT IN TURNS TO POINT OUT ALL THE OBVIOUS BLACK/FEMALE/FOREIGN CHARACTERS EVER TO APPEAR IN STAR TREK blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah THE ONLY THING MORE BORING IS TELLING PEOPLE WHICH SCI-FI CHARACTER YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE blah blah blahblah blah blah

  28. on 24 Apr 2009 at 3:00 pm JohnnyC

    Voyager had the female Captain Janeway. DS9 had Captain Sisko, played by the black actor Avery Brooks. The Wrath of Khan had a black Starfleet captain in it too, but he at least had the good grace to disintegrate himself with a phaser.

    I think we see where Jason, from St Albans, might be going with this…

  29. on 24 Apr 2009 at 3:25 pm dirigible

    Can you not like Babylon 5 and DS9 at the same time?

    I can certainly dislike both at the same time. ;-)

  30. on 24 Apr 2009 at 3:39 pm Lenara

    “Dax was hot…” And a good kisser.

  31. on 24 Apr 2009 at 5:41 pm Dolly's evil nemesis

    One more serious Star Trek edit and the kitten gets it. This place is terrible when people start to take it seriously. Someone please call me a Fargling Kentishman, immediately, thus lowering the tone to a more suitable level.

    Lifesize?
    Inflatable?

    If not, they ain’t getting my money.

  33. on 24 Apr 2009 at 6:03 pm TFH

    Dear me, this one truly is a lost cause isn’t it? Back Monday, then…

    Kaylee off Firefly is cute and lovely though.

  34. on 24 Apr 2009 at 6:36 pm Dr Shade

    Kaylee off Firefly is cute and lovely though

    And CONSTANTLY horny. Which is always a plus.

    Mind you that Topsy’s a retarded cunt though but isn’t he?

    And as for Joy Pattinson – maggot’s minge.

    Fuck me, we’ll be discussing Jade next…

  35. on 24 Apr 2009 at 11:14 pm Space Monster

    We ALL know that Janeway and 7 of 9 drank from the furry cup, Trip and Malcolm had a big gay thing and, mark my word, if Sylar doesn’t get to lick the salt off Captain Kirk in the new one, I’ll set my phaser to stun.

  36. on 25 Apr 2009 at 12:07 am Boring

    THE ONLY THING MORE BORING IS TELLING PEOPLE WHICH SCI-FI CHARACTER YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE

    Well, since you asked, my vote goes to Cameron the tempting teenage terminator.

    Did I miss a skiffy fight? Woe.

  38. on 26 Apr 2009 at 4:29 pm funny peculiar

    Considering the first guy on the moon was that black trumpet player, POLARIS69′s claim that space is a whites only zone doesn’t work for me.

    What if we discover aliens that are white, pay taxes and don’t eat spicy food? Would they be allowed to join Starfleet?

  39. on 26 Apr 2009 at 9:10 pm Hopeful

    I don’t know what a skiffy is, but I assume it is lesbians wrestling in a bin.

    Now I’m going to order a bin.

    > Geordi La Forge was both black and blind. it didn’t start with DS9.

    Correct! Ray Charles started it.
    “See that girl with the red dress on?”

    And then that Stevie Wonder nicked his gimmick like some kind of Shakin’ Stevens.
