I appreciate the discussion, but it seems there's a fundamental difference in our interpretations of 'Star Trek' and the concept of 'wokeism.' I understand and value 'Star Trek' for its progressive values, but I differentiate those from what I see as reactive and sometimes misguided 'woke' ideologies prevalent today. To clarify my stance, 'Code of Honor' was simply a poorly executed episode, but I didn't find it offensive. My issue is with Denise Crosby who quit the show, ostensibly finding it beneath her, and then continued to leverage the fame from the show throughout her life. This behavior strikes me as contradictory and opportunistic. Loving TOS, TNG, and even TAS, I admire 'Star Trek' for its rich science fiction themes and storytelling rather than solely for its inclusivity. While I respect that 'Star Trek' has always pushed boundaries in terms of representation and inclusivity, my criticism is directed at the hypocrisy I perceive in the actions of someone who publicly distanced themselves from the show while continuing to benefit from its legacy. Banning 'Code of Honor,' in my view, was a reactive response to current 'woke' ideologies, which I find to be more about reacting to perceived slights rather than genuine progress. I see genuine progress as consistent with the original intent and values of 'Star Trek' - challenging ideas thoughtfully, not erasing history. Therefore, my criticism is not against the progressive values 'Star Trek' espouses but against actions I see as hypocritical and inconsistent with the spirit of integrity and authenticity that the show embodies.
Tell us Denise, what was it like leaving a steady job because you thought you were too good for the show, and then you came crawling back because no one else would hire you.....
That's really not nice. Even Patrick Stewart lived out of a suitcase in a hotel because he thought the show would be cancelled at any moment. With hindsight she made a big career mistake but I can respect that at the time she was still looking for something that had more of a long-term future. I'm of the opinion that the show only found it's feet in season 3 - two years later. Be nicer.

Tell us you have no class without telling us you have no class.
@@briangressett902 Because of an opinion about a b list actress? You sure do set the bar low.
Exactly. She's a scumbag.
