I do find it funny that the moment two blokes have a close friendship on screen people are confidently declaring that they’re gay all over social media now, as if blokes aren’t able to have deep and meaningful friendships that aren’t sexual at all.

You do make a good point that any two close male heterosexual friendships being labeled gay is a problem. Its important to show that as well. I feel like some pairings have friendship vibes than others but that's the fun of the debate.

But what I think this video shows is how important representation is. Since there was no queer characters in Star Trek people made their own in their fan fictions. These become wildly popular and influential at fan conventions, zines and the internet. The whole genre is still referred to as Slash Fiction for the most popular pairing Kirk/Spook fiction. These types of fan fictions influences future writers, actors and showrunner who made it a reality. That is what I think is interesting about this video

The video has lots of clips and interviews. Its an interesting look at everything

That scene is amazing.

The Trill story line with Dax has it's own video but is mentioned in this one. It's fascinating to see the details of the rest of TV at the time. I steamed it after it aired

I think Garak was canonically pan/omni or at least the actor playing him played him that way.

The video said that the queer coding went down as the seasons went on to downplay the flirting.

There's a small clip from them doing it in the video. It's pretty glorious

Yeah. There are a lot of interviews of them saying they were both interested but was stymied by the system

From Kbin you can subscribe to entire instances. So you should be able to do that.

I think they are down. I could subscribe via Kbin magazine search but not go through the website

Star Trek did it. It's great to have a single dedicated spot. It's better to unify as we start up then split.

Seems odd to not have these on the TTRPG.network. A single use instance will be more convenient instead of coming to lemmy.world

I agree that would be nice to make it so easy. I miss my gardening folks

That's a good point. I didn't have any issues but I have heard of others and the article mentioned it

There really needs to be a better examples and instructions to join mastodon / fediverse. I can see the confusion. Maybe just a default server specified by the primary developer

This makes sense. Civil rights did this for the baptist and southern Baptist church. There have been schisms for less

Rerecording and cut verses. Since she owns the sheet and not the recording she had to remake the whole thing.

Everyone loves the new versions. The new 10 minute version of all too well is amazing. She plays it at her eras concert every night and everyone knows the lyrics by heart

I would watch that. Half of the episodes are high brained philosophy and the other half are trash

I am a little behind on the films. What do I need to catch up on to understand the first few episodes?
