Those of us who can remember the UseNet, AOL and BBS rants against LaForge, Sisko & Janeway can vouch that it was no less toxic in the late 1980s and 90s. It was just less of a mass conversation.

Take my upvote. It’s an appalling thought.
It was decided by suits that it was too gory (not broadcast in UK? initially) so they reworked the idea into the Borg.
But this idea did get revisited and played out in the Relaunch novelverse. Huzzah for Treklit.
Paramount & Nickelodeon dropped Star Trek Prodigy recently, but it’s coming to Netflix very soon. The 20 episode first season will be out on Netflix before end of year, and a new season in 2024.
And many older fans are loving it too. I’d describe it as ‘family viewing’ rather than a show for kids. It starts out (intentionally) feeling like that other big franchise to some extent but by episode 6, it’s the Trekkiest thing ever!
Appreciate your integrity.
It just sounded like something you might actually say this week…
Why does the OP think that She-Hulk ‘got bad ratings’ when it was one of the two most viewed Marvel shows on Disney last year?
That’s right, more people spent more minutes watching She-Hulk than anything other than Loki, including content from other Disney franchises.
Social media outrage & negative review brigading on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes from a demographic that is mainly male, a certain age & American doesn’t actually represent the majority of those of us paying for Disney+.
Women subsidize content designed for that market all the time,,why the outrage when the rest of the market gets something to their tastes?
It doesn’t seem like you’ve read any She-Hulk comics.
The show is the most comic-accurate Marvel TV series ever. It leans heavily on both Slott and original Byrne runs - written by men but definitely heavily leaning into the sexism experienced by the character, not to mention breaking the fourth wall before Deadpool.
You may have your views, but please let them be informed.
It seems such generic American soft rock. Journey or bands like.
No matter that the singer is British and the song was originally written and recorded by Rod Stewart.
Even having lived in the US as a student, I never could understand the appeal of that stuff.
Both are established and solid Treklit authors.
I find it interesting that Simon & Schuster is back to contracting new tie-in novels within the existing timeline of classic Trek shows.
Answering myself - as I ordered this and now have my own copy.
Titanbooks is being as non-transparent as possible.
— the copy on the back cover says “Includes original fiction by …”
— the publication details on the back of the title page do not mention any of the stories having been previously published in the magazine.
However, the typesetting and layout is exactly that as in the magazine.
One would have to know a particular story from a particular magazine issue to confirm whether it was previously published.
It’s not going to be a 24th or 25th century show… but as others have said, perhaps Boothby was a near immortal like Pelia or Guinan.
