RE: The “P.C.” stuff, it works both ways. Certain liberals, the “P.C. police”, stifle speech that ought to be subject to scrutiny and criticism instead. For certain conservatives who hurl the “P.C.” label hurlyburly it is also another form of stifling, which ought to also be countered by scrutiny and criticism if the argument is so strong. But I’m digressing too much (I can’t resist). Better stop before Anthony shuts this down. Apologies, for the digression, but when the issues are raised it is hard to stifle myself.

The freedom to be “thebiggmouth” is what the good ol’ U.S. of A. is all about. For me and for George, whether or not he gets tiresome or not. This P.C. stuff is just an excuse to try to shut people up.

To some extent George has found his post-Trek schtick and it has been good for his career, which as with most of the second-tier TOS cast was rather moribund. So what? As for YOUR sexual orientation: so what? Think that wins your argument or something?

I get tired of hearing a lot of things day after day. Living in place that ain’t the U.S. of A. and where free speech is often stifled I see the value in it. If it bothers you so much turn off the TV or skip any Takei blurbs.

As for the nature of Trek, I guess some of us will disagree.

Another ‘tirade’ signed by,

Hey, thebiggfrogg (or should I say ‘thebiggmouth’?)!

This has nothing – NOTHING!!! – to do with ‘Star Trek’ being ‘progressive’ or ’stuck in the past’ or with me being – GASP! – homophobic…
This is just about a thoroughly annoying homosexual man never missing even the slightest opportunity to tell everybody ‘Look at me! I’m gay! Come on, talk about me!’.

P.S.
You never hear Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy or anybody else from the ‘Star Trek’ cast bragging about being heterosexual.

P.P.S.
And before you even start another tirade… I’ m a homosexual myself.

Yes, it is so “daring” to make a non-P.C. (whatever that is, as there seems to be P.C. on both sides) comment. Rolls eyes. Perhaps George is enjoying a bit of freedom after years in the closet. Repression’ll do that to you, but I digress. I guess there will never be any agreement between those of who think Trek should be progressive and those of us who think it should be stuck in the past.

If ‘big lips’ sank ships. Blalock would have been the bane of the U.S. in WW II.

Finally someone dares to make a non-politically correct comment!

Myself, I’m only – ONLY!!! – interested in George Takei when he’s Hikaru Sulu in TOS or the feature films. I don’t give a flying f*** about his private life or his sexual orientation.

Memo to George:
Get a role in ‘Star Trek’… or put a sock in it!!!

All right, George, we got it….
YOU ARE GAY!
But, please, please, please, please, stop rubbing it in!

43. You may be right, but I reserve judgment on those who play Vulcans because it is part of the character that their performance is a bit “flat” (Robin Curtis comes to mind). Spock had the half-human, inner turmoil going for him. That said I’ve never seen her in any thing else so she may truly be a poor actress.

Pretty woman but a terrible actress.

To #39 socialisom is caring about the little people not catering to the cpro rich right? Trek evolved past the greed and selfiness and ww3 that was the end result. Good bye Gordon Geiko! Or Ralph offenhause shaped up and saw passed greed to new and better opportunities to better himself as a person spiritualy and superior integrety. Evolved past me!me!me!
