You can use this one sticker for both sides

Didn’t work so it is real

Wait, is this real?

I was referring to the 3 parter beginning 2009. Sorry if I didn’t make it explicit.

Which is still before the 2009 movie …

True, I totally see your point. I think there are different ways to see this:

First, it’s someone else who played it so he wasn’t forced to do anything. It’s just a role he played and now someone else does with different interpretations. You wouldn’t blame a Hamlett actor for performing differently than their predecessor. Sure, it’s different since Sulu was brought into existence by Takei and didn’t really exist in a book or something but still a fictional character played by different people.

Since it’s just one little scene I didn’t even remember after the first time watching, it isn’t part of his story or character building or something. He is just greeted by his husband (or partner) and daughter. In my eyes more of a homage or easter egg to Takei than forcing his personality into the character.

Lastly, HolLyWood goNe w0ke aNywAyS. I don’t mean this negatively obviously. Media puts diversity into more and more places and it doesn’t even have to do with Takei himself.

Even tho I started the last paragraph with lastly, let me add that I think it might even have more to do with losing control of your creation. Sure, Sulu started as the character played by Sulu but he developed further. It’s like trying to force the genie back into the bottle. Sulu isn’t Takei and Takei isn’t entitled to control Sulu.

Fun fact: George Takei himself complained that Sulu is portrait gay in the new movies. He said that even tho he himself is gay, he always played Sulu as a straight guy. But why would the headcanon of an actor be more important than any other

So what is your name?

Tbf TOS era male Klingons didn’t look too different from humans either

Having a bad first season is as Star Trek as you can get. All kidding aside, it gets better and more serious with time.

The humor is the worst. All kidding aside, I wish you all the best.

Hell, my life is a sequel to “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”

CMV: SNW is a sequel to The Cage and DIS is set in the future except the very start.

No, I’m with you. ST has way to many prequels. Each is ok for it’s own, but it’s just too much

My name is John Crichton, an astronaut. A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole. Now I’m lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship, A living ship full of strange alien life forms, help me, “HELP ME!” Listen please, is there anybody out there who can hear me? I’m being hunted ‘Hunted’ by an insane military commander doing everything I can’t! I’m just looking for a way home!

Found the cardassian

No one here is exactly what he appears

That’s why they are so dangerous

This isn’t a crazy conspiracy theory on the internet! I read the book!

Seriously, there is a novel or trilogy I think, with this exact plot! I read it but I don’t remember the name

Edit: Found it! The Good That Men Do is one novel, no trilogy.
