The line about Star Ship captains doesn’t necessairly have to be explained away by saying it was a product of Dr Lesters insanity. She could have been meening that Kirks devotion to his particular world of duties as a starship captain left no room for loving a woman. This being a theme that was often looked into throughout TOS. Kirk was married to the Enterprise and could never marry a woman. Hence in this case severly cheesing off said spurned woman. Hell hath no fury….

I want to know what the schedule is of episodes airing during the 2008-2009 season. The startrek dot com website has not been updated for a year! And there doesn’t seem to be a news item here that’s relevant to it that I can add a comment to.

Please, somebody get the info and post it conspicuously! I want to know what episodes are coming down the pike.

I read the part about it not making sense that women can’t be starship captains and that it was a contracdiction because in the pilot episode showed their was a 2nd in command female officer and then of course some other indiscrepencies.

When you think about it…in the 1960’s women probably didn’t have many rights…but it was ridiculous to assume they wouldn’t have them in the 23rd century because on the show …there was a black male admiral over kirk that was in command of a starbase. Not to mention that many women on the ship were officers and could tell enlisted personnel what to do. Also in the Navy especially in the sixties and seventies women did not serve on combat ships with men but they did on star trek.

But…think of it this way….reality is that most, if not all people, usually can’t take responsibility for their failures and need to blame others. In this case…a woman assumes she can’t be a captain because she was a woman….even though she was actually paranoid and unable to accept the truth that her character lacked the ability in that area of a starship captain.

Today…many people for whatever reason..blame another’s race or sex or religion or even age when they failed at something. They just can’t face the fact they have no talent for whatever they failed at and its easier to blame others for their failures.

Although there ARE times that some people are screwed out of a promotion because of a prejudice.
An example would be ..maybe this female character encountered a sexist admiral in which he pretty much told her she had no hope of being a starfleet captain because he PERSONALLY didn’t think women could cut it..not that Starfleet Command as a whole had a rule against it.
But she couldn’t prove it and this sexist admiral lied about why he was denying her promotion. And maybe Kirk suspected it and thats why he mentioned it on the show.
Its realistic…we all have suspicions why a friend of ours get denied something but we can’t prove it. Sometimes we think they did something and sometimes we think their boss is a jerk.

Anyway, I think the show had some holes in it but the plot wasn’t about her promotion board…it was after she was denied promotion. Many people after they get screwed out of something either try again and succeed or they go into a deep depression and complain about it.

As fake as Star Trek is…..its almost odd how it sorta mimics real life drama. Of course…I never met the writers so technically I’m just guessing here.

before I forget..i will apologize for the “reading between lines” comment. I did not consider it rude but I also did not wish to offend mr 190 either.

Well its been fun….I am now signing off from the blog forever…any comments ..please forward them to captain kirk’s secretary. Hopefully he will forward them to me.

If i misread the definition…please feel free to correct me.
