Good luck. The Star Trek fandom is super duper good at ruining things.

Don't get your hopes up, OP. The steady stream of announcements of multifold bad decisions means that it is going to be shit.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-04 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Her voice is super distracting though. It is going on my feedback form to CBS that they need a better actor to replace her. You can only get away with a funny accent for the comic relief character.

Can't decide if merely a troll or a genuinely bad person... Wait, this is FS, so probably a troll.

Your ignorant momocultural background is showing.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-04 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean....Yeoh's character is probably going to die in the first (only?) season, so who cares?

(Anonymous) 2017-07-04 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
First episode death, fingers crossed.

I watched the trailer after reading this secret. The whole thing is super cheesy and everyone's acting is weak - Yeoh's accent doesn't help matters but it's not like she's any worse than anyone else.

Do they...not understand what Star Trek is for?

Manifest destiny, in space.

It is a bit odd that in the future she has such a strong accent when everyone else basically has an American one.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-04 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Except the French, they speak Shakespearean English.

Wasn't China supposed to be badly hit during WW3 in the Trek verse, there really ought not to be many culturally Chinese people left. It is the Chinese American population, like Hoshi from Enterprise, who survived.

...kinda like having an English accent, a French name and a crew with mostly American accents?

(Anonymous) 2017-07-05 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
didn't TOS have russian and scottish accents? I'd kind of like it if trek went back in that direction.

Plenty of white sci fi leads who speak with a non-american accent. She's fluent in english and not at all hard to understand. People are terrible.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
That is the point, we could have one of those guys. A Canadian accented, or an English accented actor, have proven Trek pedigrees.

I agree. I get that a lot of people are nervous about this show. But frankly a lot of the criticism is really racist. Complaining about black female cast and accents? How can that be anything but racist?

I agree.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-05 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. A lot of racism rearing its ugly head in this thread as well, though I suspect it's all from the same troll.

I thought Michelle Yeoh was American? Does she put on an accent for this show?

Anybody who doesn't understand her speaking is an idiot or being willfully jerky. Anybody whining about her (and the 'star') because they're not white boys can go fuck themselves.

Jayzus am i tired of whiny, entitled asshats.

I love Michelle Yeoh, I'm so glad to see her in Western media again.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-05 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I love Michelle Yeoh. And her accent is not difficult to understand at all, I don't even get what people's problem is.

My only problem with the upcoming Trek series is that it's not just on network TV where I can watch it all, because MICHELLE YEOH IN SPAAACE!!!

(Anonymous) 2017-07-06 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I just watched the trailer again because it's been a while. . . Yeah, no. I have no trouble at all understanding what she (or anyone else, for that matter) is saying.

I'm pretty damn excited about this & am looking forward to new Star Trek!!
