In the early iterations of the 1960s smash hit Star Trek, audiences were shocked and titillated to see a white male officer in a romantic relationship with a black woman officer.

This continues to be shocking today, as modern audiences are not ready to see any (fully clothed) woman in any form of Sci-Fi media doing anything at all.

What? Pluribus was the biggest new Sci Fi TV show last year, was liked by critics and audiences, and won a bunch of awards.

Same with Silo and Foundation. This is like "reverse racism" but sexism instead.

I guess i'm in the minority of people who thought Janeway was the best starship captain as a kid. She's badass and she drinks coffee.

I agree, I love Picard don't get me wrong but Janeway was always my favourite, she kicks ass and is just fucking cool

I really like Picard and Shran as favourites but I'd much rather work for Janeway. I really enjoyed the duality of her morals from Admiral Janeway breaking temporal directive to try to go back and save her crew at any cost. When I was younger I couldn't understand how Admiral Janeway was so different but now that I'm older, I get it.

How can you not enjoy watching Tom and Harry strike out every 4th episode with the mythical twins as well. Absolute cinema. Also Borg ship ablative armor was fire.

With you 100% on that. I love Picard, but it's Janeway I'd trust to get me through the delta quadrant.

Definitely feels generational. I've got a friend who is a Janeway diehard. But she didn't really get into it until Voyager.

Picard will always be my captain of choice, but that might have its roots in watching the show as a little kid with my very bald father whom my mom teasingly referred to as "The Captain" when the show was on.

Uhh Kirk and Uhura were most definitely not in a relationship, they were forced to kiss against their will.
