"And She Feeds You Tea and Oranges..."

It’s a little hard to sum up everything that’s going on right now, but I can give it a good try, or at least make a bulletpoint list of the important items, which may work just as well

I think it just bugs me that what's-her-face lady makes such a shitty captain. I had high hopes it would be like "look! all she needed was a chance to prove herself and be given the respect a man accords and she was great!" But actually she really did just suck as a captain.

But I would so read that fic. XD

[rainbowjehan]

Well, yeah. I know. That would have been cooler. But at least they didn't try to blame it on her being a woman--they established that she was a bad captain because she was a loon, and not because she was a woman. I thought it would have been worthwhile to explore how the whole thing kind of exposed some of Starfleet's really unfair policies, but sadly they missed that opportunity.

>_>

It's true, but they did make the choice of making her a woman and not just some loony man.

:D

[rainbowjehan]

But the advantage of her being a woman is that we get Kirkette. >_>

[snowyofthenight]

Sooo true. :D (and once you start thinking about it there are SO MANY TOS crew members who would be so excellent upon passing through the super techonobabble genderswitch ray I made up just now... I can't imagine Bones, for example, being too terribly pleased)

Omg, ladymccoy would be so awesome.

[snowyofthenight]

i know, right??

[rainbowjehan]

Actually, I guess trek_crack covers that a little.

[snowyofthenight]

Indeed? I never read fic anymore. >_> I miss it!

[rainbowjehan]

It's not fic. >:D It's cartoons.

[snowyofthenight]

And they are so, so beautiful.

I think I frightened other people in the house laughing.

[rainbowjehan]

:D I'm so glad I got to share that with someone who appreciated it.

[snowyofthenight]

SO MUCH appreciation. XD
