    I’m generally a trek fan, I just find it odd they feel the need to make the captian look like Shatner. Is it to just appease the older trek audience that can’t handle anything different?

      For Enterprise? 100%. They played it really safe in some areas. That’s why they used sex so much in the show. For Strange New Worlds? It’s just a consequence of Pike being the original Captain for TOS before the studio changed him. They re-used the footage so they’re just sort of locked in due to the decisions of the 60s.

        SECS? IN STAR TREK?! No there weren’t any sex scenes. Just a crapload of decontamination, various wardrobe malfunctions, and really intimate moments between friends and bunkmates.
