>The director halts the action and Lorca, played by British actor Jason Isaacs of Harry Potter fame, steps off the stage. The episode’s writer, Kirsten Beyer, approaches to give a correction on his “for God’s sakes” ad lib.

>“Wait, I can’t say ‘God’?” Isaacs asks, amused. “I thought I could say ‘God’ or ‘damn’ but not ‘goddamn.’ ”

>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.

>“How about ‘for f—’s sake’?” he shoots back. “Can I say that?”

>“You can say that before you can say ‘God,’ ” she dryly replies.

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a copout.

Kristen Beyer is supposed to be some sort of expert on canon but doesn't know that Kirk himself said that humans find "the one to be good enough" in regard to gods?

Fuck yeah Im honestly getting more and more excited about this new series. Finally in good and competent hands.

I'm sure characters said 'for god's sake' in the other series. I seem to rememer O'Brien saying it on DS9

When will he get back to locking up and experimenting on Brit Marling? Fuck this abortion of a show.

Though I'm pleasantly surprised that religion won't be playing a role in this sjw-feminista shitfest. (Unless the mandatory word for god will be Allah of course.)

>>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.

A Koo Chee Moya

what does god want with a starship?

They LITERALLY had "why does GOD need a starship" line in a movie about GOD.

Just change it to Allah for diversity brownie points.

How about "Filthy Kikes", can you say that?

Plenty of atheists say oh my god or for christ's sake

Who Gives a fuck ?

is this what Cinema turned to ?

I feel like McCoy said something like that

Is this a joke?

*Hell, a better example is Catholic Spaniards saying "ojala" (literally "may Allah will it"), even though they haven't been ruled by Muslims since the 1400s.

>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.
But that's so fucking stupid, every other species has some sort of unified religion that in many cases is actually real. Why can't humans have any sort of religion?

I cant wait until Mr. Plinkett tears this show apart! XD

Pretty sure Kirk said it a few times himself.

They probably have a muslim character in there somewhere anyway.

pretty sure McCoy says it in Wrath of Khan

>Why can't humans have any sort of religion?
Because humanity has evolved past such things. Yet they act as if human women are human men's equals.

Wait a second, now I'm not a big Trek fan by any means but

>>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.

Isn't this a load of bullshit? Has there not been some focus of religion from several races before, in the Star Trek universe? I swear there have.

christfags fucking b t f o

>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.
But this is fundamentally wrong.

I'm quite certain bones has said "Good god man!" about a dozen times

McCoy quotes the fucking Bible in wrath of khan.

Worf is extremely religious while serving in Starfleet, not to mention all the Bajorans, who are obsessed with their prophets

God is just a figure of speech nowadays.

I'd bet my life savings they will include a muslim character.

>confrontation with religious alien race disconfirmed

But I always liked, how the federation looked down on races, who still believed in God, or species, which believed they are God.

So no God at all? Might be a bit dull then.

I'm pretty sure he says "Good God man" or something similar every fucking episode.

This story can't be real. They devoted a whole series to religion (DS9)

It's easier to just say "we don't have religion in the future", if you tried to bring human religion into the show you'd have to make a lot of complicated decisions about how the various religions around today spread and evolve over the course of the next 200-300 years. Naturally that's impossible to do without elevating one group and putting down another, etc. So they just avoid it altogether by equally shitting on all religions by saying it just doesn't exist anymore. That's why other species can have religions and humans can't.

Scotty plays "Amazing Grace" at Spock's funeral.

Are they going to tell Aliens that they have no gods.

oh good, at least that actually looks like a transporter room.

Star Trek and Rick & Morty cross-over confirmed.

Oh so the language evolved so much past ours
So we really shouldn't understand them at all then.

this desu. for fucks sakes

I like this hallway. it's not blue and silver. (watch as red alert means blue lights because what the fuck)

I hate those fucking uniforms.

Why are those people crudely copypasted on top of each other?

>YOU CAN'T SAY 'GOD' ON STAR TREK

>Doug Jones walks around on plastic hooves
giv blooper reel

those are big shoes

>that girl on the left
T H I C C

those uniforms are shit they look like cheap cosplay

I've heard "may god help us all", "for gods sake" and "godspeed", etc. a few times on DS9

JJ Trek lets them invoke god
youtube.com/watch?v=RDChVRBAqkk

The only thing JJ Trek does right is McCoy.

"What does God want with a starship?"

literally nothing will top TNG set and costume design. sad to watch this desu.

(((Jason Isaacs)))

>be in Star Trek universe
>literal gods like Q exist
>hurr durr God and Religion don't real

so nice of them to hire RDJ

Because no one takes the time to do a proper cast photo anymore.

Yet again I'm glad this show is in the hands of people who really know Trek

Bet they'd never tell a Muslim they can't say "Allahu ackbar hurka durka hubbada derka" though.

I can swear I remember watching one of those movies where they basically spent the entire thing looking for God. Like actually looking for him in Space.

JUST further proof the writing staff have never seen star trek and that this ship will crash

Brilliant.

>"Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one quite adequate."
Blown the fuck out

Imagine thinking that one of the foundational concepts of human civilization and culture since its inception thousands and thousands of years ago would ever fully go away
Not only does this stupid cunt writer not know anything about Star Trek, but she apparently knows exceedingly little about anything at all.

Yeah. Even if the crew is 100% nominally atheists it's unimaginable that the English language has been deprived of the word "god"

As far as I can tell it's still contained in half the sentences in most porn.

Meanwhile the federation in TOS in canonically christian lol

"my God, Jim!"

reminder that spocks mother was blacked and he has a half black sister
cant make this shit up

>tfw orville looks better
wtf I love Seth Macfarlane now?

Fuck everything about Discover and fuck everyone involved in it's production.

>Imagine thinking that one of the foundational concepts of human civilization and culture since its inception thousands and thousands of years ago would ever fully go away
So imagine being Gene Roddenberry?

Gene went senile in the eighties and started insisting that all religion will die out in the future. He also said that nobody will care about male pattern baldness, and that humanity will no longer mourn the dead (even children won't grieve for lost parents).

You're only outing yourself as a casual for not knowing about Crazy Gene.

Star Trek: Rick and Morty edition

>Gene went senile in the eighties and started insisting that all religion will die out in the future
Amazingly enough he still wasn't driven to autistic screeching over the word "God"

Q introduces himself as a god when he meets Picard, by this logic Picard's response should have been "You're a what? A Gop? What's that?"

This

yeah, although they could easily fix them by spending more money.

I'm fine with this if they weren't going to have space muslims either

well said

...

this is acceptable. what the fuck were they thinking?

#BringBackRickBerman

My waifu

Can't wait for this scene

what a goddamn mess

>They worship the Sun...of god
>Everyone smiles

That "expert" is as full of shit as Voyagers Indian expert.

Wtf? People out of shape in federation?

Weren't there several episodes in TOS with religious overtones? The twist in "Bread and Circuses", for example

Or when it's implied that Kirk believes in the Christian God when he meets Apollo in "Who Weeps for Adonais?"

I'm not really into Star Trek and even I know this shit

in the future, the all forms of military accept all body types =)

Bullshit. There were no fat people in TNG. They should have kept this idea. Also, how could they get this fat, if their replicators only give the healthy food.

I remembered the Galaxy class Enterprise having festivals of all religions happening every few weeks

Crusher says thank god in the episode when Picard and Wesley crash on the desert planet when the get rescued.

>Because humanity has evolved past such things
cbc.ca/radio/ideas/the-myth-of-the-secular-part-1-1.3135538

Religion isn't going anywhere bud

>>There were no fat people in TNG.

None in TOS either

Bones would strap em into a treadmill and not let them out

Beverly is a filthy ghost humping whore traitor.

>leaf radio

>Dammit, Jim. I'm a doctor, not a fitness instructor.

it's a podcast

Does /thicc/ Riker count

You have to have a double digit IQ to believe that religion will ever cease to exist.

>people will be less religious in the fu-

>Beyer explains that Star Trek is creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a science-driven 23rd-century future where religion basically no longer exists.

So this guy has never watched a single episode of Star Trek. Great.

>That whole episode they're shitting on the natives for being pagan sun worshipers
>When they find out they're christian they all do a 180 on them.

No way in hell we're getting anything like that now.

> Universe is causal
> Matter is contingent
> .... the material Universe was made in and of itself

so progressive

Secularization drives people towards religion. It's part of the reason for religious fundamentalism actually - as religion gradually gets pushed out of the public sphere, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
