White House Advisor Stephen Miller Says Star Trek Is Too "Woke," Wants Kirk Back.
Huh, uh. Says the fascist who would deport Uhura, Sulu and Scotty and prohibit women from serving in Starfleet.
Chekov could stay because he's Russian.
As for Spock... He'd probably have him sent to Area 51 for "enhanced interrogation." 🤭
Then there are the episodes with the interracial kiss, overweight admirals who Hegseth would drum out of the service, Kirk's mind in the body of a woman...

There were topics on the old Star Trek that were never touched. Most of them were of a sexual or religious nature. This is why he prefers the old Star, over the newer Star Trek versions.
Must say though, on even the newer Star Treks, you won't hear any profanity either. Yet interspecies progeny was throughout most other versions. I believe only Spock was ever mentioned in the old Star Trek especially as a main character.
Yeah many would call me a Treky. 🙃 Though I'm not exclusive to Star Trek. 😈
A key difference is Asimov was writing science fiction. Roddenberry was producing it for television. And, yes, Gene's battles with NBC (No Brains Company) and network interference are pretty well chronicled.
Your problem with Shatner is your desire to censor his personal opinion. In the real world not everyone or even the majority agrees without of touch lefties like you.
I think William Shatner, or any celebrity for that matter, is just as much entitled to remain apolitical as the anonymous man or woman down the street.
I think too many people expect actors, sports stars, etc., to take political stands in the hopes their celebrity status will help their cause.
On the other hand, Shatner for decades has helped raise funds for underprivileged and handicapped children with his Charity Horse Show.
Celebrities have the same rights under the First Amendment as we do.
Shatner has stated he prefers not to discuss Donald Trump or George Takei and doesn't really want to discuss U.S. politics, citing his Canadian citizenship and Green Card status in the U.S. I think we should respect his choice.
My earlier comment was directed to you only. The reality is the majority of people dint always agree with you and you being a control freak think there is something wrong with that. Can’t imagine life is working out so well for you with that attitude Wife? Kids? Grandkids? Friends? A little therapy would likely make you life. Lot better. @DeWayfarer

A federal judge on Friday ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to limit their tactics against protesters in Minnesota, as federal immigration enforcement officers confront demonstrators rallying after a woman was killed by an ICE officer last week.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez wrote in her order that ICE cannot retaliate against, arrest or detain “persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.”
Officers cannot use pepper spray “or similar nonlethal munitions” on protesters and are barred from “stopping or detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion that they are forcibly obstructing or interfering with Covered Federal Agents.”
The case was brought to Menendez after six people filed a lawsuit in December alleging that ICE officers “subjected them to the use of chemical irritants, intimidation, including by pointing firearms at them, detention, and arrest, in violation of their First and Fourth Amendment rights,” Menendez said.
