  • People seem to not realize that the biggest problem with the higher episode count is not the budget, it’s the work life balance issues. Ask any actor, producer, or crew member from the 24-26 episode a year days and they will all tell you it was a living hell to meet that output. Higher caliber actors won’t sign up for that kind of commitment these days. With there no longer being a need to sell to syndication there’s also no financial incentive for studios to push for those episode counts. People just need to let it go, we’re never going to have 24 episode seasons of Trek again, it’s just not practical in any sense. Now, if we could push to 15 from and spread the budget thinner, maybe that might still be reasonable. But I don’t know how that would affect the people working on the shows.
















  • I am not trans myself, but I have a trans daughter. In my experience trans people do not want to be treated any differently than you would treat anyone else. I would especially not make reference to their transition in public, ever. If they are a close friend or family member who discusses such things with you in private that might be a different story. But ultimately pointing out their differences or that you notice their differences or patronizing them in any way will only be felt negatively.

    TL;DR, don’t say anything to a trans person you wouldn’t say to a CIS person. The kindest thing you can do is treat them like everyone else.
