  • I think my favorite bit is Quinto, the only actually TRIBBLE cast member, who is in a straight relationship in the franchise because obviously Spock being TRIBBLE would have been a bridge too far, having the cojones to complain that Takei should be happy that they're ham-handedly writing in a TRIBBLE relationship for one…
  • I hear that if this movie doesn't do as well as they hope, in the 4th one it's going to be revealed that Uhura is transgendered and Scotty is a furry. Still plenty of groups they can shamelessly pander to in lieu of good writing and storytelling!
  • Replace 'Takei' with 'JJ Abrams' and 'character' with 'Star Trek', and I'll agree with you on every point.
  • Takei, the original character and a long time advocate for TRIBBLE issues, doesn't like it, which should really tell you all you need to know about this move. This isn't about being inclusive, it's about shameless pandering, "Hey gays! Look, we have a TRIBBLE character! Come give us all your TRIBBLE money please!"
  • Well, it's depressing, but I suppose it was inevitable that CBS/Paramount would finally decide to just give one big F**** YOU! to all the old fans and fully embrace new Trek as a jealously guarded generic summer action franchise. Strict fundraising limitations would have been enough to head off any future Axanar types…
