Star Trek Discovery

[Drunk Monk]

And we’re back.

Disco is the gayest Star Trek yet. 

There. I've said it. Not that being gay is a bad thing. I know, I know, we put that 'no poofters' clause in the original D00M charter but it was an homage to Monty Python and you just have to understand the times back then. Besides, given the orientation of youknowwho, we should let go of that. 

S4e10 was a lot of talk about sharing and supporting each other. There was hugging. Prisoner hugging. There's heterospecies romance. There's the mycellium network that Disco travels on, which is surely code for undeground gay clubs. There's breaking free from the galactic barrier, or something out-of-the-closet like that. It's called Disco. I mean, who calls a Trek Disco? 

Actually, as I've said before, Disco has one of the most heartfelt gay relationships I've ever seen on TV - the engineer and the doctor. It's quite sweet. And it also has real life non-binary actor who goes by they/them pronouns playing a Trill named Gray Tal. They have been written out of this season more or less but Adira Tal (also played by a non-binary actor) is still a major player in engineering. The gay engineer has taken them under his wing. 

I currently only own one Star Trek shirt. It says Disco. 

This series is still amusing, but after Georgiou left, it lost a lot of fire. I have three more episodes of this season.
