The thing I find lame about SNW is that they "lean into" Spock's human half. Ohhhhh oo-hoo-hooooo look at me! I'm a writer who wants to put my goofy ass spin on Mr. Spock!
But then they want to call it a canon prequel to the ORIGINAL? Like canon. To the original. I don't buy it. Canon to the OG where Spock is literally disgusted and ashamed of his human half and has spent his ENTIRE life hiding it? Like the entire time, that includes the time in which SNW supposedly takes place? And the T'Pring shit I can't even bring myself to talk about because it deviates so far from canon? A one-off character they just brought back to make Spock seem less fucking gay?
Hoh look a musical episode! Wow! It's camp get it??? Camp?? Cuz the original was campy?? Except Spock is straightwashed so they managed to make camp heterocentric so what are they doing and what was the point? Who the hell is this supposed to be for?
What. Were. They. Thinking. I'm going insane. Episode where SPOCK becomes HUMAN? Episode where they SPLIT the MIXED RACE character who was written as MIXED RACE in the SIXTIES! I dare them to write a goofy episode where Oops! I turn Full Native and see how quirky and racially sensitive it is. Hoho so fun and goofy!
No I cannot overlook these transgressions. I want as many people as possible to know that I'm disgusted and to feel vindicated in knowing that they aren't the only one. I'm so sorry fellow mixed race queers. We deserve better from a "Star Trek show". And Spock as a character deserves so much more respect than he's ever given in reboot writing. A kid with a Spock action figure could conjure up a superior narrative.
I haven't been this angry since AOS (straight Spock [x2] White Khan [x1] mental diarrhea [x1000]).
There's so many types of Star Trek Show at this point that there is bound to be some contention over what is the "right vibe" and what is sacrilege but whatever the fuck SNW and AOS is dishing out is just sooooo far removed from everything I found appealing about Star Trek. Oooo big het guys do tuff stuff but never in a gay way (maybe throw a qweer in the background so people can't call out lack of rep) and also the enterprise looks like a migraine and maybe there's some explosions oooooooo [has a stroke and fucking dies]
#snw hate#tagging so maybe then people wont come for me and just say Im being mean#my concerns are legit its ok to be mad about shit#aos hate#aos has haunted me for like 12 years.#the crazy part is that I am Not a star trek purist i just genuinely expect more out of these reboots and h8 the directions they took#rant#long rant#venting#you know what there was a fan series my trekkie uncle showed me that was so much more respectful in its writing than this contrived bullshi#it was called Star Trek Continues#thats a vibe I can fucking get behind because at least they respected the damn source material#kirk and Spock were fucking great in that im serious

💕💔🏳️🌈 for the hyperfixation ask game???
im doing star trek because judas scifi rights
💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!
hmm. going to talk about garak. garak is a self aware gay stereotype and i love him so much. he’ll be like “well as an exiled former intelligence agent with great experience in killing torture and interrogation,” and then will immediately deny that he was ever in the obsidian order. he’s a fun combination of campy, fashionable, obviously gay old man and serious character with a harrowing past who’s a loose cannon with specialties in everything. also i think its hilarious that he saw julian on the replimat like second day of work and was like oh i MUST go menacingly flirt with this twink immediately. also didnt andrew robinson say that garaks first thoughts on julian were wow. ive gotta top this guy. king
💔 tell us about one of your LEAST favorite characters and why you dislike them.
i know its out of style but fuck riker dude. every other character on tng has at least a fun gimmick. no. this is just an unfun, straight version of kirk.
🏳🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?
data? gay. geordi? trans and bi. yar? lesbian icon. also all vulcans have autism and since since amanda grayson was autistic as well, spock got double whammied and is actually king of the neurodivergents. hes also trans and gay
