โI busted him up,โ you say. Everyone goes hog wild. The man behind you firmly grasps your shoulders for an almost uncomfortable amount of time. Life is good.

kind of a ventโit's my first time watching star trek: tng and i really do love it, but i'm having so much trouble sitting with the male gaze-y parade clown damsel in distress they make of deanna troi so often... sometimes sitting down to watch tng feels like a gamble on whether the next episode is gonna have some real substance, be about some silly funny shenanigans, or be 45 minutes of stripping away troi's bodily autonomy for *checks notes* reasons. i know it's the 80s, but... ough
Fans celebrate the casting of Nichelle Nichols as Uhura as a moment for actors of color, which they should be.
But I also wanted to spotlight the casting of these iconic secondary characters, seen in episodes of TOS.
Percy Rodriguez was cast as flag officer Commodore Stone, who was Kirk's superior in the chain of command. Stone is one of the officers that presides over Kirk's court martial.
Booker Bradshaw was the original Dr. M'Benga, seen in two episodes of TOS. at the time, M'Benga was Starfleet's first and only medical specialist in Vulcan Physiology, having spent a year's residency on Vulcan.
One of the finest minds in computer technology in the 23rd century, and creator of the duotronic computer, Dr. Richard Daystrom, was played by William Marshall, whose work in Shakespeare, and his roles as Paul Robeson and Frederick Douglass, added to the gravitas of his portrayal.
A flag officer, a specialist in Vulcan medicine, and one of the finest minds in a field of technology, played by actors of color, during the turbulent 1960s.
