When I first saw this, I was in a different point in my life and didn’t know who I was (I only knew I was angry and miserable), and I loved that Kor immediately accepted her. It made sense to me. I don’t know if it was subconscious or not, I’ll probably never know.
But I know I really love this scene now, and I’m grateful to the show writers and producers for including it, especially after learning about the uphill battle they faced to integrate themes like this. Inclusion matters and makes a difference, even if stupid assholes complain. It’s a lovely scene, and I’m forever grateful.
This is an accurate statement, but (running with the analogy) I like to think ummthatguy carries a benelli compared with the rest of us lol
Btw, side note, sorry if this sounds random (I intended to comment yesterday but got busy and am now just remembering), but the two spirit story you tell is amazing and is a concept I think modern western society could really learn from. So thank you for dropping this knowledge on us from time to time, it’s really cool and much appreciated. There’s an alternate universe out there where a legit First Nation consultant was asked to advise on Chakotay’s back story and development on Voyager, and I imagine stories like this being woven into that show’s fabric. Wouldn’t that be something? Ok I’m done rambling haha, you have a good one. 🖖
In a quiet suburban neighborhood where minivans outnumber streetlights, a group of women have been ingeniously disguising their love of wine as a book club.

Agreed, it’s so far off the mark that it’s distracting. At least they cast someone older? Maybe they were in a rush and had no time, I know tv series filming can have crazy tight deadlines.
Has anyone done anything (serious or meme) about bad Trek casting decisions? I get the feeling Wesleyan Crasher would be at the top of the list.
Omfg I’m just remembering I did something similar when I was ten or so. I think my little brother was like four?
I’m at 7-11, flipping through comics, and see what I think is my little brother messing with the comic books (putting them in the wrong slots in the magazine stand) out of the corner of my eye, so I scold him and go back to reading. I just hissed at him, didn’t even bother looking.
Then this girl I don’t know comes over, grabs the kid’s hand, says “Come on, <random unfamiliar name>, let’s go.” I look over and I don’t recognize either of them, and she shoots this “wtf is wrong with you, weirdo” look at me and leads him away. And my actual brother? On the other side of the store, oblivious to the world, just being his usual self, picking boogers, nowhere near the magazine stand, and I am clinically dead from embarrassment.
telling you you’re part of the problem because of your existence… It’s not hard to see how that can really impact one’s sense of worth to the world.
I don’t mean to invalidate what you’re feeling, but that’s what it’s like to be a minority in America. I have dealt with that in some shape or form for as long as I can remember. Sorry, I don’t have any answers, but I do empathize with you.
