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.

Later in the article the show's creators brag about how they're making this a "family" show. Looks like I'll have to give this latest incarnation of Trek a miss.

I wonder sometimes about the conscious decision of Hollywood directors to include profanity. I see no reason for it at all.

I would give it a watch. But I’m not paying for another smart TV streaming network. CBS has giant babalones to assume they’ll milk megabucks out of this.

TOS was great.No interest in anything since.You can't remake a classic despite who hard you try...or how many times you try.

My wife and I rediscovered Petticoat junction on Amazon Prime a few weeks ago. This weekend we discovered The Andy Grifith show.

I’m shocked at how entertaining those shows were, and yet absurdly wholesome. Also, they were filmed with quality black and white film and on a 55” 4k set it’s movie quality, which means you also see flaws that I’m sure they treated as, back in the day, “It’s close enough for a 19” tube TV.” But that is part of the charm.

Battlestar Galactica had the best swears. I occasionally catch myself muttering “frack” or “feldergarb” under my breath....

Sort of like sex, we all know that it happens but we probably don’t want to see it on tv with the kiddos watching.

Star Trek - taking America to a bold new Utopian (but psychoticaly detached) frontier since 1966!
 
 
psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
  2.  
  3. [The Architects of Western Decline:
  4. A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism]


"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
