[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Thanks, Neutron. I'd been aware we were straying from the topic, but I love following conversational threads wherever they lead, so... *shrug* The few times it's come up in the past, it's been handled clumsily and often titillatingly. I find that annoying. There should be as little hubbub in Trek over a homosexual character as a heterosexual character. The way David George handled it in the recent "Serpents Among the Ruins" book was spot-on in my estimation. This matter, like time travel, is one I'd rather the writers leave alone until they and their writing ability matures to the point they can avoid such amateurish blunders. And lest anyone think I'm tooting my own horn here, I'm not -- I recognize my limitations as a writer and am working on developing my ability. I just wish they'd show similar self-knowledge and honesty. But then, honesty isn't a trait much admired in the big studio structure... :p Viacom needs to divest itself of Trek so the property can go to being an independent production. I'm not saying going indy guarantees quality and success, but it definitely [i]would[/i] free the Trek universe from the mentality responsible for the formulaic twaddle that the Machine has been churning out year after year. They don't respect Trek as anything other than a popular moneymaker and it shows. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
