I believe I misread, then. As I thought your commentary was on the idea that we SHOULD make their homosexuality and the feelings/beliefs of his people a plot point to be investigated and played out instead of seen as “in Star Trek, we’ve moved on from simple bigotry, we now do space bigotry” like I’d expect.
I, admittedly, haven’t seen the show (fuck Paramount, and my piracy days are on hold) and only based that on the initial comment which I thought to be in support of making the character’s sexuality their plot point instead of their journey/ambitions as a character driving their change and story.
Oftentimes I find that I prefer semi-episodic Trek, but having plots stay relevant isn’t so bad when it’s actually addressed. I hope they handle those this time around and that the series is on firm legs by the time I go to watch it.
