There are 6 females and 4 males that make up the bridge crew.
What happened to all the men? Did they all die in WWIII because of the mandatory draft for men only?
First episode was decent, but as always it was preachy and woke.
What a surprise, another closet case or virgin complaining about too many women on a TV show. You have never touched a woman. That is plain to see.

the entire bridge crew was chicks, lol
Gene Roddenberry would have loved that.....but only if their uniforms resembled a cheerleader's.
shareThe original show's flashbacks to Pike's crew (edited from the as-yet unaired pilot) had a woman as second in command, and it seemed kind of out-there in the mid '60s when I first saw it. If the concept of "woke" had existed then, it probably would have been applied, but at the time it just seemed kind of interesting. Even with the female "Number 1", though, the remainder of the bridge personnel were men (except for the occasional yeoman who passed through. This was pre-Uhura).
sharewhats bad is it makes Kirk look like an douche for getting rid of all the women on the bridge crew and making them wear short skirts.
in this Star Trek, men are useless.
in episode Memento Mori, LT La'an Noonien-Singh tells Pike what to do, but in a forceful way.
in episode Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach, Singh and Cadet Uhura go investigate an alien ship by themselves.
Cadet Uhura has been training in Engineering and Security but on Kirks Enterprise, she is relegated to wearing a super short skirt and being the communication officer.
so far only women have been flying the Enterprise. do men not get to fly the ship?
the stories are good, they are just unbelievably female positive.
Captains Pike and Kirk respond to the above points:
Kirk: "If getting what I want makes me look like a..."douche"...so be it. Actually, it's not what I want, but rather recruitment traditionally attracts more men to military organisations of which Starfleet is an enlightened example. Female recruits serve with distinction in their alloted roles, some of whom rise to the highest levels of responsibility. What I'm against is introducing a lax culture which allows undisciplined emotional conduct and subjective values. A female dominated orgaisation might risk that eventuality."
Pike: "I'd love to see skirts but I fear that would be impractical."
Pike: "Hey! I'm not useless, I like to delegate. We have a talented crew and frankly merit drives selection of crew for station duties. The fact the bridge is female dominated doesn't reflect badly on all the dudes on lower decks keeping things happening."
Pike: "Sometimes it pays to listen when in command."
Pike: "Their expertise helped to secure the area for closer inspection. Not investigating the ship would've been contrary to the practice of strategic info gathering."
Kirk: "Uhura is a specialist in communications. Her duties range from routine internal and external ship interactions to scientific analysis and decoding of communications. She looks like a secretary but is so much more."
Pike: "The Captain - that's me - flies the ship. Yeah, technically the crewman at the Helm station does the driving but I supervise all movements the ship makes. I mean, you've seen me do it every time I'm in the command chair."
yeah, we need more men in space.
shareTHE PAST,THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE ARE FEMALE...ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T SEE IT ISN'T LOOKING VERY HARD.
shareI'd be most women do not feel that way. It's like back in the early days of the women's movement men used to say, why do women want to be men - they have it so much better than we do. In those days it was legal or no punishable for men to kill their wives if they were having affairs, or even if they were suspected. Women could not get credit cards or have bank accounts for a long time, and remember they could not vote until 1925.
shareYOU THINK THOSE WERE THE EARLY DAYS?...THOSE WERE SIMPLY A FEW DARK YEARS IN CHAPTER 4,567 OF INFINITY IN THE BOOK OF MOTHER.
shareGod, that phrase is so old that dinosaurs from the 70s were using it.
