Tales from the Is it wrong to like Star Trek?

E-mail to the office.  You won't get it.

  Whole staff, en masse, to see Star Trek on May 8^th at midnight? I’ve got my ears if I’m Spock, and I have a perm and a headset if I’m Uhura.

 

Actually, I think we comprise the ship’s crew pretty well.

 

Craig as Capt. Kirk

Naturally

 

Diana as Dr. McCoy

Passionate, feisty, trusted advisor. Wielding incisions of fact to seek honesty in the critically-wounded conservative base

 

Amy as Mr. Scott (Scotty)

Without the science of maintenance or finance, we have no power

 

Katelyn as Uhura

Manning communications to maintain relationship with necessary allies

 

Hayley as Sulu

Young officer integral to the ship’s success; the job is thankless and she would have it no other way

 

Borko as Chekov

Think about it

 

Dan as a Trebble

You can be Sulu next time

 

Kevin as Kevin

There was no one else in the cast, so it was either that you play yourself or Chewbacca

 

And yes, Me as Mr. Spock

Half Anglo-Half foreigner (Persian Pakistani, Spanish and Mexican-that’s me baby), maintaining wit forehanded and back, coldly logical, open-minded, large-eared

 

Post script: I’m sorry that there aren’t enough girl parts to balance the genders out. It’s pretty clear now that Gene Roddenberry was a raging misogynist.  Not that it would matter anyway, Roddenberry was a conservative and misogyny is a liberal concern.
