whole heartedly agreed; that episode plus the outcast from tng were murky at best and i’m glad that new era of star trek has made up for it since it’s better late than never.
At least Trek was almost always (cough “Code of Honor” cough) good on racial issues, which I think laid solid groundwork for encouraging compassion in stories in general.
i feel like lower decks pushes this compassion to a new level each time they bait and switch with a story that seems like it would be drama, but ends up being a fun silly nothing-burger.
the one with rutherford stressing out about how he’s going to disappoint all the department chairs; but each one ends up being completely encouraging in his decision after hamming up all the drama about the disappointment comes to mind.

I can’t think of a current trek lesbian either. We got bi but I haven’t seen any leabians.
fwiw: i know that mariner in lower decks dated a andorian woman; but i can’t remember if there’s any mention of her being bi or any man.
She’s bi. She has been shown to be turned on by Ransom from time to time and a few other hetero instances.
ransom?! really? which episode(s)?
First season, third episode, starting about 2/3rds in.
thank you!
I think there’s a couple occasions where he does a kirk speech and she’s turned on by it
now i know you’re fucking with me. lol
It’s in the show
now i’m going to have to binge watch the series again to find this.
