@startrekexplained @BobKerman3999 Doesn’t seem that hard to me. It’s entirely possible an entire room of writers would have considered existing apolitical and wanted to cast a gay couple as not even being remarkable, even back then.

@startrekexplained Let me clarify. I believe the writers wanted to openly ship them, and didn’t because Paramount was trying to make it a political issue. I firmly believe existing is not political and trying to make it that way is pretty cowardly.
