  • That is pretty sad, but I think she and he were both right to respect the impact she had by staying in the role.

    The most iconic science fiction crew of all time will forever include a prominent impressive black woman. Nichelle made that happen, through her performances.

  • And it was a reliable, proven technology that apparently only got worse and more twitchy a couple of decades later.

    I assume the subtext was that it was a reliable proven technology being operated, in his option, by an incompetent idiot too young to be trusted.

    Which is as good an explanation as any for the other transporter scene...

  • It's not about consciousness, it's about continuity.

    The philosophical point is that if I accept kinship with myself of yesterday and myself of tomorrow without proof - then I can learn to accept kinship with all other living things, in the same way.

    There's a peace in that acceptance - if I lived my life investing equally in the future of any other life I encounter, then perhaps I will pass on from my current arrangement of atoms feeling confidence in the future rather than fear.

    I'll let you know how that works for me. Or rather, I suppose I will not.

    Sadly, while I hoped to find a hilarious misunderstanding with She-Ra shippers, what I found was a habit of commenting with unusually combatative language. :(

    Good luck with the She-Ra shippers, anyway.
