i thought the "women can't be starship captains" thing was dumb and that's the main motivation of the villainess.

I suppose I also have unhappiness that that was the series finale. It's not really the fault of the show. They were lied to by NBC and told there would be more episodes. Shatner was lined up to direct an episode that never happened.
I'll have to re watch it..because I got the impression that it was not about her gender that disqualifed her..but the focus on the fact she was power hungry.

Again, there probably is a line or two that does say women can't be Captains...and I missed it.

Lester definitely says something that implies women can't be Captains, but she's also nuttier than squirrel shit, so it's debatable whether or not she was being literal.
 
One of the few episodes I wont watch ever again is "Bread and Circuses" Roddenberry was a publicly avowed atheist...this episode is damned near praising space Jesus..ugh
The fight scene sucked SO HARD. The script called for a coliseum set. Oh, can't have one? Ummm, they have to fight on a TV set. And they were at Vasquez Rocks for desert scenes too. Least creative way of getting around the budget.

I liked the idea that in their future the coliseum is reduced to a shit tv backdrop
I know for a fact I am in a minority over one TOS episode: "Spock's Brain": I honestly, un-ironically love it. It has everything that Gene Roddenberry pitched Star Trek as: cheesy with a strong story. Yes, the premise is absurd..but the story where a society has become 99% dependent on technology they cannot fully operate is what I admire most about this episode.

Please tell me I'm not totally alone here for my love of this one episode?
nah, it gets memed on a lot, I blame Wonder Years, but it's got its charm
and BRAIN AND BRAIN WHAT IS BRAIN is fucking great

Let's say she is. Being crazy it doesn't mean she was right.

Actually you could have fun with the "alt interpretation" kind of thing sfdebris does.

"I'm sorry, we can't allow you to captain a Starship."
"Oh I see. It's because I'm a woman, isn't it?"
"No, it's because you're batshit crazy."
"Women are all crazy and that's why you don't let them captain Starship? I can't even!" *storms off*
"Crazy bitch."

I accept this as my head canon. I like the interpretation that she wasn't allowed to be captain because she's nuts as fuck. But her mentally ill mind took that as women can't be captains.

That was also my impresson that Doctor Janet Lester may have said women can't be captains just to really drive home her own victimhood.

See, 55 years later, Star Trek still generates engaging discussions.

That is clearly a case of Lester being 100% batshit crazy.. There is no on the fence about it.

Every single Kiwifarmer should watch "The Way to Eden" right now... it shows exactly how the liberals are going to literally burn themselves soon. And sadly, attempt to take all of society down with them.

I love Kirk's attitude throughout the entire episode. "Why can't we arrest them?"

That episode honestly age so well. It's scary
 
You are the second person in the whole world to express their like for Enterprise.
I legitimately enjoyed Archer going psycho and Trip was a good character. I try to forget the last two or three episodes of Enterprise ever happened. At the end of the day, TNG has a lot worse episodes than Enterprise did.
 
I honestly could not get past the 3rd episode of "Enterprise". I found there was a lack of depth to every single character... plus, the writing was dull and un imaginative. ...but I'm guessing it got better later on.
 
Connor Trinneer is a decent actor, and he's more than proven that since Enterprise... But Charles "Trip" Tucker III was clearly meant to be a riff on George "Dubyah" Bush. And that only makes that (borderline retarded) character even funnier to me XD
