I think it's a desexing of the shows because of offended sensibilities. How dare a woman wear a miniskirt as part of her uniform? They did on TNG and then they promptly disappeared. I am sure there was an even episode where they came across a species that had no different sexes. They were unisex. I do not want to live in that perfectly balanced society.

I am reading a gladiator godhood novel right now where one of the women were commenting on how crude the men of the Arena were. The leader of the women simply shrugged, sat back and said, "Best to let men be men." Women should take note that not long from now.

There will not be any more men.

Poor Tim Russ. He didn't have enough pull to complain. I am a bit disappointed that squabbling destroyed and humiliated a character that should've been the coolest of them all. I lost count of how many times the wife said, "That is one weak ass Vulcan". Considering how they wrecked Wesley Crusher (how cool it would've been to have a captain named Crusher), I shouldn't be surprised. Still, you have to sit through an episode of Q reenacting Robin Hood (Seriously?) if you're also going to get a show like "the Inner Light" or even the Finale, "All good Things".
