I love that she's such a Trekkie that she doesn't even know how to do the Vulcan salute properly, despite probably having seen images of it her entire life even if she never watched a single episode of Star Trek.
What is that, the Vulcan shocker?
Showing the back of the hand makes it look like she's flashing some Vulcan gang sign, haha.
It's Mariner's sarcastic salute!
Don't you give me that sarcastic Vulcan salute!
$50 says she’s just doing that old Volkswagen handsign from those commercials in the 2000s
Far from groovin
Vulcan gang sign.
My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.
TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.
Fox News should absolutely loathe that.
The neat thing about post scarcity societies is that economic systems become moot so long as the government isn't particularly oppressive. It's still an hierarchical, and somewhat militaristic, society.
It also followed the old scifi serial blueprint they were used to.
Yeah I thought about the Kirk-Uhura kiss but two things, they aren’t currently openly saying that shouldn’t be allowed (on Fox News) and considering she was a Yeoman or a Lieutenant at the time being kissed by her Captain is right along the “grab em by the pussy” narrative they side with.
You are right if they looked at any of the social establishments that the franchise embraces they would hate it.
Fuckin dork can't even do the spocker right
She really likes the Terran Empire and Section 31.
I didn't see the headline at first and thought she was showing off her engagement ring on live TV in the most awkward way possible, lmao
Context?
Some conservative idiot with a camera in front of them called Star Wars too woke and then was like “that is why I like Star Trek”….. which obviously indicates they had no idea about the basic aspects of Star Trek.
She doesn't like Star Wars because it's too woke, which is why she's a Trekkie instead. Implying that Star Trek isn't woke. Which is ridiculous.
Says the person who has obviously never watched star trek
"Star Trek is progressive. Star Wars is woke. Now, keep in mind I have no fucking idea what 'woke' actually means as I am incapable of inferring meaning through context."
What the..
America you got some weird news hosts.
Quick, someone tell her about Discovery
Where's Hugh Dennis when you need him?!
