I’ve read that the sexism continues right up through DS9.

Then of curse with Voyager they had no idea how to write a female captainZ

(Tip: you write a female captain exactly like a male captain. A woman does not consult her ovaries before she launches photon torpedoes)

I had not heard about DS9 but I do recall watching Voyager and there were some real WTF moments when it came to Janeway and Seven Of Nine characters which even as a teen made me just roll my eyes or made me uncomfortable as hell in how they framed it and how stupidly it was written and your writing tip is spot on.

She also helped with the puppet scenes and movement during the filming.

I had no idea about this, that's wonderful. Thank you for linking that!

Re: Picard series, I agree it would be good to see McFadden return as Crusher in some capacity if they could work it out in some way that resonates with what we saw of her possible future in ... All Good Things.

On a similar note, it'd also be good to see Whoopi Goldberg return as Guinan - a great character that they used appropriately in TNG, though was sidelined after Generations. Guinan is perhaps the only other character apart from Crusher that Picard used to consult about personal matters, and if this new series is about Picard coming to terms with a life-changing event, it'd be a waste not to include her. If Paramount could include Goldberg in Nemesis for an uncredited cameo in the Wedding scene, I don't see why they couldn't include her in this story.

Comic-con trailer for the Picard Series.

I wonder if it's worth it to get CBS All Access?

I got all access for Discovery and I can’t say I particularly regret it.

I keep rewatching this and have no idea how I feel about it, just because this reminds me of the failed series Andromeda. The one with asshole Kevin Sorbo who played Hercules in the Legendary Journeys that was based on Gene Roddenberry's unused notes.

I just hope they can pull this off unlike that series did I also hope they handle the new Transgender and non-binary character better than in The Outcast as that episode has never sat well with me. I also hope both these characters are there to have real roles and lots of lines, not for brownie points. Yes it true they've handled both their gay male couple and one gay lesbian engineer well up to this point but this is a whole different ball game and many series stumble and trip or mess up this hurdle badly, because they don't do their homework and make it about genitals, or they completely misunderstand and still have characters dead naming or using the wrong pronouns (Though some shows are doing better.)
