While Q isn't undressed like Picard is, the way he says "Morning, darling," is very much designed to provoke a specific reaction among LGBTQ+ viewers. And as if that wasn't queer enough, Q then. I really felt that the gay storylines (ignoring the "Bury your gays" trope) were written by a writer who had never actually met a gay captain picard is not gay he'. And when it got to Emperor Georgiou, while her pansexuality was in-character, when she said "Papi", i cringed, HARD.
I'm currently on Season 3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation (thanks Netflix!), and I have been wondering since almost the first episode if Picard is asexual/aromantic rather than just awkward. Although Picard's heterosexuality is repeatedly emphasized in the episodes involving Q, and although Q is periodically provided with female romantic interests by the series' producers, in an attempt to sustain what Miller calls deniability (), "Q" comes to stand, increasingly, for Queer.
My answer is in no way determined by the fact I am a devout Picard/Crusher 'shipper. No. Q's attraction to Picard was one-sided. Never seemed that much into women.
Click to expand. I just don't think that the decision should be made one way or another on a television program and having that decision preached world-wide. In the rush to not overrate things, we shouldn't lose our appreciation for context and reflexively underrate them. After Picard realizes why they are being hunted, he breaks into this explanation of how we the Federation don't have that problem, because sexual orientation is corrected to a heterosexual orientation.
La la la By depicting gay people in stereotypical ways or in negative ways, tv unwitting contributes to stereotypes and negative feelings towards gay people. There was an edict that it be kept to a minimum, anyway, which the writers, producers and actors strained against. Lisa Paul. I see. You see, doing this does not help people decide for their self, since the other side of the issue would never be displayed.
Like in "The Offspring," Whoopi Goldberg had wanted there to be a same sex couple in the background of Ten Forward while she was explaining kissing to Lal, but someone nixed it. True, they could show a couple of [wo]men captain picard is not gay he' hands, etc. The story was posted as a script. For what its worth Yes, I am fairly sure that by the 24th century no-one captain picard is not gay he' be in the slightest bit bothered by homosexuality.
But I think most of us who would like to see gay characters don't want any overt preaching about homosexuality, simply a mundane depiction of gay characters. They've said over and over that tolerance is the rule in the 24th century, so why not leave it at that? Granted, Gays, Jews. You represent the mainstream, and as you say, that would appeal to the masses.
I didn't hide my Shelby when I had it either, but a large number of folks have never seen one because they're a relatively small percentage of the total vehicals on the road. Or would we just be 'nice' as Riker tried to be when Q made him a member of the Continuum? Is Roddenberry an Agraphobic? For that matter where do you put the bisexuals? The show is a fictional adventure escape for our minds, not the solution to the problems of the planet.
I'm sure it's in one of the books on our coffee table. I want television to become what it once was -- entertaining. Chekov, on the other hand This made me laugh out loud. Har har. A show where he realizes and accepts his sexuality could be very effective.
