It's not that we're against being progressive, it's that we'd rather have a Captain that can speak the fucking language intelligibly. Patrick Stewart was a fucking thespian, this bitch can't even pronounce "Klingon".

>the "vulcan" of the cast is a just human black girl raised by Vulcans


what's the point? why not just make her a black vulcan?

this is not what being progressive means, this is a joke.

Michelle Yeoh is fully fluent in English. They let her use her native Malaysian-Chinese accent just as they let Stewart utilize his native English accent (even if Picard is supposed to be French). What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Yes, but females couldn't be captains in starfleet even in Kirk's day, making the casting look forced.

The only way to reconcile the discrepancy is if between this series and TOS, someone screws up so badly that the regulations are changed to never give a woman command again.

Well, obviously they can't encounter a major new threat to Earth, sustain millions of casualties and spend a year trying to fight off the threat. Something that big would have been mentioned in later series. And they definitely can't encounter four races using cloaking devices in the first season, since that technology was a huge surprise to Kirk's crew a century later.

It's mission could be to investigate emergency transmissions with the captain and the Colonel of the Federation Marines onboard at loggerheads with each other whilst also being bros master and commander style.

Missed opportunity.

>>84783790
The point is that they shoehorned the Xindi into Enterprise and then implicitly claimed the whole messy incident had somehow been forgotten. Millions died in Florida, the Earth was almost destroyed and no one ever mentioned it again. So while it's not a good idea, they can do whatever they want and just use the Enterprise excuse of "It just didn't get mentioned again. Ever."

>>84783852
It won't financially flop because Netflix already paid for the whole thing
It won't critically flop because (((you know who))) love diversity
It will flop on viewers because of being exclusive to CBS All Access in USA, and Netflix will know exactly how many people watched it, and which if any joined Netflix just to watch it, and won't be willing to pay as much for more episodes as neither will be as many as they expected.

No season 2.

This takes place 10 years before Kirk even became captain.

only capable and competent people (aka not white) are trusted with such a responsibility

>>84784559

Could even have one of the marines be a Vulcan raised by humans (considerably more interesting the a human raised by Vulcans) who is an absolute beserker on the battlefield whilst grappling with his unfettered emotions off the battlefield.

The only thing that really sets the Harrington books apart (other than those stupid fucking alien cats and Harrington's unimaginably thick plot armor) are the physics of the space battles, which are adapted from historical naval battles.

They'd get more viewers by not making it more diverse than real life in the USA. The most hardcore Trek nerds are white. Its like Dr. Who, they thought they'd be progressive, but it turns out people want sexy. Asians and blacks are not what the fan base wants. They don't represent the real fans. They shooting the entire series down the tubes from a marketing standpoint, unless they just want to sell the show in another part of the world.
