TNG was very rarely about space battles. It was more about good story telling. This series, may just be a product of its time. It is so much easier to create flashy CGI animations now but not so easy to create cohesive and compelling storylines. Also everything now is woke for the time being.
not Everything.
Station eleven doesn't seem woke.
The problem seems to be when programmes put stereotypically looking lesbians and gays in TV series with the usual gay sounding hollywood archetype voices...
in real life you can not tell people are gay from how they look and sound..... only a small minority of annoying people display sexuality on the outside like a badge
the issue for me becomes when the characters sexuality is their only identity.....
should we assume everyone is just straight if they don't have a lesbian haircut of a gay voice? is it offensive to the LGBT+ whatever community if your discreet about your sexuality ?
do they look down upon the discreet more normal people..... who they probably think are living in a closet because it's not on display 24/7?
from looks alone and voice sound you honestly should not be able to tell surely?
is beckham suddenly gay cos he used to sound camp with his natural voice? do we assume hes in the closet ?
they always seem like shallow 2d characters...... it's annoying and forced never feels right..
some of the most liked characters on TV used to be gay.... even in the 90s....
whys graham norton get so big? whos the other guy alan carr chatty man?
Stephen fry is gay right.... he doesn't make it so obvious though.... are the hollywood types suggesting it's shame or what? he's pretty much a normal down to earth cool dood.....
he's well liked surely? it's not because people are anti LGBT
it's because the characters always look stupid , sound stupid and have to have forced romances and crap....
absolutely no need....
laffayette in true blood also really popular character no?
maybe hes a bit of a strange one though cos he's kinda in your face about it but he pulls it off amazingly.
is it more to do with bad actors and terrible casting agents going for a "type" or just the constant forced storylines.
anyway I turned the latest ep off halfway through and said I'm done....
so this is my last post int he thread.
bye all
