Hey, before I even noticed there was no black folks on this thing, just as the trailers were coming, I got turned off by all those nubile young starlets. Hey men of all color can get into masturbatory SF, but I had better things to do. -C --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

yeah, Enterprise was a huge one. I posted a review of every single episode here, and I can think of maybe one show--two at best--where Mayweather had a significant role. I often stated only half-jokingly that he had less screen time than Archer's dog Porthos! Hoshi--the Asian Comm officer--fared

Your point is dead-on, which is what I meant. Star Trek was the beacon, starting slowly (a Black woman, no Black men in major roles), then grew with Geordi (whose disability definitely raised eyebrows among Blacks) and Worf, and reaching fruition in Sisko. The series matured in its treatment of

On one point, I have to say militarily was incorrect...Sisko was a commander, but of an outpost, not a ship, which I am assuming the captain's rank was reserved for ship's commanders...But I do see your point... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Your point is dead-on, which is what I meant. Star Trek
