@ValueSubtracted Is the Friday Night Death Slot still a thing? Because it's right around this point Star Trek series usually get shuffled into the Friday Night Death Slot.
@worfamerryman Take it easy on Sam, he was trying to go home and his last jump put him on a starship with very little hint as to what's going on.
Bell curve on Kinsey scale: centers around 2.5 with exclusively hetero or homosexual people being uncommon
@startrekexplained: "Most people are straight"
@startrekexplained Let me clarify. I believe the writers wanted to openly ship them, and didn't because Paramount was trying to make it a political issue. I firmly believe existing is not political and trying to make it that way is pretty cowardly.
@startrekexplained @BobKerman3999 Doesn't seem that hard to me. It's entirely possible an entire room of writers would have considered existing apolitical and wanted to cast a gay couple as not even being remarkable, even back then.
I was also in the closet back then. Mostly because there's people out there who want to make existing political, and want me dead now because of it.
@Admin Heh, seems random when we can follow the sub from Mastodon directly! I mean, that's how I've been doing it.
@Tired8281 @StillPaisleyCat Let's not kid ourselves. The late 90s were pretty problematic in a lot of ways that Voyager basically leaned into while also passively calling out.
@Tired8281 @StillPaisleyCat I dunno about that! The only reason the Borg plot wasn't a few-episode one-off was because 7/9 was providing some T&A the franchise...basically lacked entirely given it's sausage party crew and Neelix macking on Ocampas in a way that was totally weird and creepy.
@dan Yowza that's a hell of a comment to come out of nowhere in your fediverse feed without context!

Yes, DM me if you want! What's even the point of IM or social media if you're closed to DMs?
