Tonight’s episode of Star Trek: Discovery boldly went where Star Trek has never gone before, at least in terms of language.
The episode titled “Choose Your Pain” features the first and second use of the f-word in Star Trek history.

You know SyFy is running several episodes of BG a night now, don’t you? They cut chunks out to make time for ads, but it’s less effort than to watch on Blu-Ray.
Loved the original BG.
The part I find funny is promoting this black female captain as a role model. Hyper-emotional, vague to the point of endangering crew, unstable, assaulting fellow officers, ends up in prison - and you’re holding her up as someone we should respect and emulate?
A female Captain like Sisko, strong, certain, capable would be a good addition to the franchise. The STD captain is horrible; watch the first episodes and say she got there by affirmative action instead of capability and shouldn’t be there at all. Or think we don’t need women like that in the military at all.
Even the Star Trek parody Orville is better than Discovery. Axanar definitely would be.
First I’ve heard that there is a new ST series.
Petticoat Junction started out to be not such a wholesome show. It had its origins in the old “traveling salesman and the farmer’s daughter” jokes....except now there were 3 daughters. The fact that they named the town Hooterville tells you where they were going with this.
But it evolved into a more wholesome family show.
I could think of worse ways to spend an evening than
staring at Lori Saunders.
Oh yeah.
Even after they got a Diesel engine, those two guys on the train still stopped there to check the water level in the water tower.
We were on a massive Petticoat kick last year.
What a great show that was.
I was just a kid when it was originally on. I only saw a couple of episodes and don’t remember much.
When I started watching it again, the “hooterville” name implied to me that it would be racy for it’s day. We’ve watched it beginning with the very first episode and it was far from racy. Which surprised me. Heck, the opening credits even suggest it with them “naked in the water tower”.
I found that a lot of the show so far is about keeping the train running. :-)
I saw a photo a couple of weeks ago of the entire cast “kneeling” in suipport of what the black players in the NFL are doing. I watched the first episode, which was before the kneeling; but, I will not ever watch another one. Perhaps, I am not alone and they are trying to create some controversy to get eyeballs back on the show. We will see.
Eh? The f bomb is a very old English would.
Pulp Fiction by itself, not at all, the other western one from under the floor was way worse.
This is a crappy show. I stopped watching after the first two episodes. At least Enterprise felt like Star Trek. This? No. It’s just cultural Marxism in space.
I’ve been known to use those, too. It was a very creative show. I also liked how they created their own system of measures of time and distance.
"The Orville" is doing that to a certain degree; they're maybe using too many 20th & early 21st century references. And the helmsman talks like a loser, but sometimes that is funny (like his reaction when his newly-regenerated leg got stabbed).
Old ones or new ones? New series was so beautifully dark.
Nice to have some background on that. :P
You know it’s bad when the most sympathetic character is Voq the Klingon.
STD....appropriate acronym.
