It's not my least favorite Star Trek show. I like it overall. I just feel kinda icky during the decontamination scenes.
u/Stamets likes his Star Trek hot folks to be fully clothed, damnit! Like Captain Pike! or Doctor Culber! or Captain Pike!
Of which there are several. Berman is such a horn dog. But here, Stamets, is a shot you might not be too opposed to:
Yeah, the Berman-level horny is what put me off in all honesty. I'm not the type of gay who is going to be immediately freak out by seeing a woman undressed or anything. Even when focusing on any of the male characters I still just felt weird. Also the absurd level of blue on everything. Genuinely forgot how saturated that was, holy shit!
Berman was a horndog but Roddenberry and Thiess pretty much ran with what ever the censors said was okay and pushed till the censor pushed back.
Yeahhhhh that was weird.
Like if someone wants to put in sexual stuff to make something sell, sure. I might not like it but I'll get it. But those decon scenes were really really forced. At least with Seven of Nine it ended mostly with her obscene skinsuit. But these scenes were just too heavy handed for me to enjoy and felt a lil gross. Not enough for it to make me dislike the show but enough to be memorable.
Weird I really didn't remember them. But now I'm like oh yeah I was very uncomfortable. Unfortunately as a women star trek fan there are a fair bit of content I have to just forget or be like its wrong but sadly a product of that time. Lucky there are a lot of women positive content in the series too. Which I think is a bigger chunk then the problems.
