“The Naked Now” – TNG 1X3

by trekkiefeminist

Last week I looked at the classic Star Trek episode “The Naked Time”. Twenty years after that episode aired the Next Generation team would try to pay it homage by reinventing the same storyline with the new characters. Just like the original, we start out with an away team exploring the frozen remains of Starfleet officers …

“Angel One” – TNG 1X14

by trekkiefeminist

When I asked people what episodes I should review here at Feminist Trekkie, Angel One came up numerous times. I hadn’t seen it since I was a little kid and I’d skipped it in my most recent watch-throughs because of the bad reviews, like Wil Wheaton’s analysis: “The final product is so unbelievably horrible, it was …

“Fierce” Women of Star Trek

by trekkiefeminist

The other day I posted a screencap of this StarTrek.com poll because I wasn’t sure what “fierce” was even supposed to mean. My friend ea-p shared the poll and commented: I don’t understand what these characters have in common, other than being women. Tangentially I wondered why I never hear the adjective applied to men in the …

The Enterprise arrives at Omicron Ceti III to survey the remains of a human colony …

“Caretaker” Parts I and II – VOY 1X1

by trekkiefeminist

I started this project with the original series because everything that came after was influenced by it. It was also the series most clearly experiencing tension between wanting to portray a progressive, egalitarian, humanist future while still being marketable to a 1960s audience. I will be going back to more examples from TOS and the …

Media coverage of Trekkie Feminist at The Daily Dot

by trekkiefeminist

Thanks to Lisa at The Daily Dot for this article, “Trekkie Feminist analyzes how boldly Star Trek actually went.” Here’s a brief excerpt: “Star Trek as a utopian vision creates a vision of how humans will hopefully be in two or three centuries. The fact that there’s still remnants of sexism, racism and homophobia in that …
