    That’s actually such a sweet piece of Trek history — props like that are basically “physical memories.” Also, wild how much lore can live in something the size of a coin. 🖖

      At the time, very much akin to ceremony. Women are generally treated better these days (but still not like they should be treated), but in the 90s they were very much looked upon like meat with pretty packaging.

      How do you know though? Maybe he did it quite ceremoniously just to be an asshole and rub it in?

    Technically, her last scenes were in Redemption, as Sela. And her last scenes as Tasha were in Yesterday’s Enterprise.

    But Rick Berman is, has been, and always will be scum. The way he treated the women on-set was worse than Roddenberry.

              Only idiots dislike it for that reason. I dislike it because of its atrocious writing, and its attempts to be progressive are incredibly shallow because the writers are out of touch hollywood socialites.

                I’ve been rewatching TOS. Atrocious writing, you say?

                What do you think is shallow about their attempts at being progressive? Having multiple POC and LGBTQ characters, including a married couple seems like the next logical step for the series and is still fairly progressive for a mainstream sci-fi series. Even The Orville, which I’ve heard people say is better than nutrek, is barely as progressive as even TNG. What did they do wrong with these characters? Genuinely. My main issue with nutrek is the melodrama. So many times while watching Discovery my wife and I would be saying to the screen “You’re all about to die, you can hug cry and talk later!”

                  Disco lost me when I got to the episode where everyone is going to die unless the main character cAn tAlK tO a bOy aT tHe dAnCe!

                  Lower Decks was fun though. And I’ve watched like, 1 episode of SNW but it was a good pilot. Haven’t plumbed the depths of the rest of nutrek yet.

                  Just having POC and LGBTQ representation isn’t all that’s needed to deliver a progressive message. You also need to incorporate plotlines that thoughtfully explore themes related to their modern-day struggles. Old trek, namely TNG and DS9, did this well because they had writers that were genuinely progressive for their time (and even for this time if we’re being honest) and actually understood the politics. Despite being held back on direct representation (Garak and Bashir), they were still able to get their message across through the plot structure and story beats.

                  Nutrek goes all-in on representation, but completely falls flat when they attempt to go any deeper because they don’t understand the issues.

              I was too lazy to make it but I was thinking earlier today of doing a “I hate nutrek because it’s derivative and centrist, you hate it because you are a nazi, we are not the same” meme. (Not that I’m calling you a nazi, this was just an idea I had, not directed at you)

    One time I was seated near to Denise on a flight and she was drunk as a LORD, but now I understand it’s probably something Rick did. This was like 2016 and anyway this story has no point

        Fair fair

        The other bit I remember is that she had just finished a con and TBF I’d get drunk as hell in first class if I were in her shoes
