Takei took time off to film “The Green Berets”. That’s when Chekov came in.

Yeah, he’s complained that they didn’t even change the dialog. Hey, at least they changed the character’s name.

Some sites put her as 3rd, some as 4th behind Sulu. The important part is that she was an FU to the network. They said “you can’t have a woman (white in this case) be 2nd” and he stuck an alien (which they also wanted to get rid of) in 2nd, a black woman in 3rd or 4th, and a Japanese guy in 3rd or 4th. He deliberately went more diverse for the 2nd pilot.

Scott was 3rd. She was probably 4th. Didn’t they call her Lt. Commander? Or was that in the movies?

“Huh? What? Majel Barrett was cast as head nurse Chaphill on the Enterprise, and she had the hots for Spock”
“Check out The Menagerie> Two Parter when Barrett is Second in Command. Hap tip to ‘Stu.

which doesn’t change the FACT of IDIC. Big big concept in Trek. It’s always been about diversity. It’s always been about moving past differences. It’s always been about accepting people for who they are. It’s always been woke. Well ok, I didn't see Uhara, Sulu, or Checkoff complain about, White priviage or Spock complaining about Earth male privlage..

No, Scott was technically not even bridge crew. As head of engineering if things are going poorly Scott’s not going to be on the bridge. Thus not high in the command structure. Kind of like McCoy, regardless of his rank McCoy will never sit the chair because if thing are that bad he’s got better things to do.

Right. It’s all been moved past. That’s his point. A very diverse cast, and they’re all just people. WOKE. or at least what woke is supposed to be.

Dude. You’re really desperately trying to make a flame war for no reason.
The facts are in. Trek was woke from day 1. On purpose. Anybody that doesn’t recognize that is stupid.

I think you’re starting the flame war! I don’t see the ST:TOS bridge cast as representing “Woke”. Not as they define “Woke” now. It was just people doing their job competently and strongly implied they got there by merit. If anything it represented how things should be.

Frankly the “my opponents are Nazis” thing is so tired and stupid. The left has used it on the right for decades, and using it back is just lazy and pathetic.
You're right. The Right should be saying that the Left are communists, because that's what they are, and communists were far worse than Nazis. The difference is that the "Nazi" libel was always a lie, because that's what commies do, but the commie label is dead on balls accurate.

Actually nobody should be using ANY of that BS. If you can’t actually go after their POSITIONS without lazy name calling you got nothing.
