Star Trek has always been as horny and profane as its audience and medium has allowed.
And it’s still not enough
TNG did seem to be alot edgier in the first season, the blond chick telling people casually about how she had to hide from the rape-gangs on her home planet.
From the very first scene in the original pilot, no less.
That they managed to cast someone so similarly chiseled for modern Pike is ridiculous.
The hair too!
Sometimes more overt than other times. Rick Berman’s career could best be described as “saying the quiet part out loud”.
Who… Who thought it wasn’t horny?
I don’t think a lot of newer or more casual fans understand that Roddenberry’s opinions on sex were “yes please” and he surrounded himself with like-minded people.
Idk from the zeitgeist outside of the fandom the trope is Kirk screwing green aliens so I thought it was embedded in the perception of the show for people by now
Honestly it’s amusing THAT is what Kirk is known for, Spock did more flirting and wooing of ladies in TOS than Kirk did, and Kirk only did it when it was in service to his current mission.
Gene Roddenberry wrote MULTIPLE episodes that amount to wank material, both in TOS and TNG.
This isn’t a surprise in the slightest.
The things that happen in the holodeck are beyond imagination and undesired description
