“Sanctuary” – DS9 2X10

by trekkiefeminist

When the Skrreeans arrive on Deep Space Nine, Kira is having a majorly bad day (Majorly bad day, get it?). The Bajoran Ministers are driving her up the wall, she’s late delivering her duty roster to Sisko, and now Quark is complaining the Bajoran musician she brought in is mesmerizing his customers away from drinking and …

“Blood Oath” – DS9 2X19

by trekkiefeminist

I’m super excited for this review, not only because it’s an episode I truly love, but also because it’s my 100th episode review here at Trekkie Feminist! “Blood Oath” is an incredible episode about a young woman who is underestimated by three older men, all battle-hardened warriors. However, she persists and uses her physical strength, …

“Shakaar” – DS9 3X24

by trekkiefeminist

For the purposes of this review I’m going to pretend I haven’t seen any other episodes with Shakaar, so I don’t get cranky (not a big Shakaar fan here). “Shakaar” is the episode where Kira decides to move on from Bareil’s death and open her heart to Shakaar, but it’s not an episode about either …

Have You Had Enough of the Sexism, Racism and Homophobia on the Star Trek Facebook Page?

by trekkiefeminist

Over the past couple of weeks I and a couple other Tumblr users have shared some examples of the misogynist, racist, and homophobic comments being posted on the official StarTrek.com Facebook page Here’s a sampling of some of what’s happening on the page just today, with comments on yet another “Describe (character) in one word” post. In this case, my …
