  1. Filmreihe – „Star Trek“ (1979-2016)

    Das hier ist wahrscheinlich die widersprüchlichste Filmreihe der Popkultur. Kein anderes Franchise schwankt so radikal zwischen philosophischer Science-Fiction, politischer Allegorie, Alterswerk, Blockbuster-Spektakel und gelegentlichem völligen Wahnsinn. Die dreizehn Kinofilme erzählen nicht nur von der Zukunft der Menschheit. Sie erzählen von Hollywood, vom Kalten Krieg, vom Ende des Kalten Krieges, vom Aufstieg der Nerdkultur und von einer Filmindustrie, die vergessen hat, warum Menschen wie ich „Star Trek“ ursprünglich so sehr geliebt haben. (NUR im TV auf ZDFneo!)

  3. May I present
    LWAXANA TROI.

    I WANT YOU
    TO MAKE LOVE
    NOT WAR
    (I know you've heard it before)

    Thank you for going through this process with me.

  4. “With a few exceptions, Lwaxana’s dresses have exaggerated proportions, such as 1890s-style “leg-o-mutton” sleeves, voluminous pleated skirts, capes or trains, and are usually made from metallic or brightly-colored fabrics.

    Historically, women who dress too boldly or vibrantly have been considered “vulgar,” but this criticism usually boils down to women taking up space, either physically or visually. From the metre-wide, heavily embellished court gowns of the 1750s, and the crinolines and vividly-dyed dresses of the 1850s, to the big shoulder pads and bold prints of the 1980s, taste-makers have balked at women who want to be looked at on their own terms, and Lwaxana proudly continues this tradition into the 24th century.”

  5. Majel Barrett is historically noteworthy in her own right, and deserves to be recognized by name. Please don't erase her legacy by flattening it into the single dimension of her personal relationship with Gene Roddenberry.

  6. "Gene Roddenberry's wife" has a name: Majel Barrett. As the "first lady" of Star Trek, she not only played significant and broadly acclaimed on-screen roles (across multiple series!), but also delivered significant creative influence behind the scenes.

  7. #startrek #rewatch Theme: #MajelBarrett. I've now watched two episodes of #TOS and it appears that the only function of women is to look pretty and they can only aspire to please men. Except #Uhura. In #NakedTime she's no fair nor maiden. Be more like Uhura. #StarTrekTOS

  8. #StarTrek #Rewatch #TheCage was actually good episode. Following my #MajelBarrett theme, I'm now watching #NakedTime #StarTrekTOS. They surely know how to be theatrical 😄

  9. #startrek #rewatch I don't feel like a full rewatch of anything but I want to have a rewatch theme and the current one is #MajelBarrett. Starting off of course with #TheCage. It's fascinating in a way how ahead of its time it was and yet how it didn't age that well. Have we gone past the future it was intended to represent? 😄 #StarTrekTOS

  10. Although disappointingly it still fails to credit Majel for her accomplishments, as her husband Gene was credited for his, at least it now it scrapes up the bare minimum of saying her name:

    « The flight … will carry the ashes or DNA of notable individuals such as sci-fi legend and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry … and his wife of nearly 22 years, Majel Barrett Roddenberry. »

  11. i'm grateful to report that Cybernews Senior Journalist Stefanie Schappert responded (via email) to mine (and apparently others') feedback:

    « Due to the overwhelming response regarding Majel Roddenberry, I have updated the article accordingly. »

  12. « The flight … will carry the ashes … of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, who passed in 1991, and his wife. »

    She has a name! It's Majel Barrett. I credit Gene Roddenberry's creativity originating the series … but Majel Barrett will always be 100% more loveable and memorable. Just ask Odo.

    Please don't gloss over the impressive achievements of amazing women like Majel Barrett as though they're merely accessories to more noteworthy men.

  13. #MajelBarrett (1932-2008) would have been 91 today.

    She played Christine Chapel on #StarTrekTOS, Lwaxana Troi on #TNG and #DS9 + the voice of the computer in #AllStarTrek.

    She was also the wife of creator #GeneRoddenberry.
