i was racking my brain trying to figure out where the "l" came from until you put together "l representative" and the episode "rejoined" popped back into my head. lol

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Oh, lower case L. I was seeing upper case i for a while there. Rejoined is on the table there, but she also married Worf and was shown to be into a decent amount of dudes as well as women (implied by the show and confirmed by headcannon of the masses). She kisses another woman on screen so I guess it's the best we've got do far, which is pretty shitty.

which is pretty shitty

whole heartedly agreed; that episode plus the outcast from tng were murky at best and i'm glad that new era of star trek has made up for it since it's better late than never.

I can't think of a current trek lesbian either. We got bi but I haven't seen any leabians.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

fwiw: i know that mariner in lower decks dated a andorian woman; but i can't remember if there's any mention of her being bi or any man.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

She's bi. She has been shown to be turned on by Ransom from time to time and a few other hetero instances.

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Also, she specifically says her "type" is bad boys, bad girls, bad non-binary babes, bad Bynars, and ruthless alien masterminds.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

ransom?! really? which episode(s)?

[-] someone@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

First season, third episode, starting about 2/3rds in.

I think there's a couple occasions where he does a kirk speech and she's turned on by it

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

now i know you're fucking with me. lol

now i'm going to have to binge watch the series again to find this.

Lower Decks is doing this very interesting thing where we get to know Starfleet officers' flaws before we get to know their strengths. That's not really been a thing in prior Trek series.

I sent a gif. Probably doesn't work cause you aren't hexbear

At least Trek was almost always (cough "Code of Honor" cough) good on racial issues, which I think laid solid groundwork for encouraging compassion in stories in general.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

i feel like lower decks pushes this compassion to a new level each time they bait and switch with a story that seems like it would be drama, but ends up being a fun silly nothing-burger.

the one with rutherford stressing out about how he's going to disappoint all the department chairs; but each one ends up being completely encouraging in his decision after hamming up all the drama about the disappointment comes to mind.

Mariner had a whole relationship with another woman on screen but she's also been shown to be into dudes as well.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

do you know which episode(s)?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

A whole relationship onscreen is giving it a bit too much credit since her and Jenn were kind of a background thing thar came up a couple times before they broke up and it was brought up again in a recent episode that I don't care for how it was handled.
