I was *just talking* about how this supposedly progressive groundbreaking show ends with an episode that establishes Starfleet policy explicitly does not allow women to be captains And the point of the episode is this policy is correcthttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1273100694493581312 …

That’s certainly fair. And disgusting. I wasn’t aware of that. I still stand by the overall tone and writing of the show being a lot more ahead of its time than most concurrent media. I don’t consider Gene a hero but the many elements ST (TNG mainly) brought as progressive.

It’s my understanding that Gene wasn’t himself the purely progressive one but much of the rest of the writing crew. it’s a huge shame he had as much say as he did. That a woman would have commandeered the Ent would have been extremely powerful and important to a lot of women.
