I think Star Trek The Original Series was very progressive for its time, and that's why I love it. <br /><br />That doesn't change the fact that we are not in its time any more, and that for <i>this</i> time it is not progressive gender-wise. If we are to maintain the values that the show espoused--the values that make me love it--we have to have a modern dialogue with it. We can love it, but we must also question it from a current viewpoint. We can honor it, but we must update it.<br /><br />And if we make modern media based on it we must attempt to make a statement more meaningful than another hot green girl in her panties.Hello Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312963471564254118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448590441609585651.post-29289116676181360062010-08-02T13:55:38.910-07:002010-08-02T13:55:38.910-07:00Well, remember that we hadn't even landed on t...Well, remember that we hadn't even landed on the moon when Star Trek came out in '66, and the space program was 'manned' with the military/test pilot sensibility. Star Trek broke serious ground making Uhura a bridge officer - not only a woman, but a black woman. It was revolutionary for it's time. BTW, bit of trivia, in the pilot, Majel Barret was 2nd in command and it was the women in the test audience that complained, "Who does she think she is?"maffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795159031644494880noreply@blogger.com
