Yes, this is copied directly from my Twitter. 😋

Do you think this would make a good episode?

You're name hear

That's basically the Moclans from The Orville.

I haven't seen the new series myself, but as someone somewhat familiar with the philosophy behind the original, it seems kind of uncharacteristic to vilify one gender so broadly even if it was based on long since past incidents. So the devil would be in the details: did the wars stop specifically from the gender change (i.e are the women inherently pacifist just by nature) or was there intentional mental manipulation that pacified the former men, were the wars caused by gender roles encouraging warlike behavior for men or was that something that occured independent of their social morals, how similar in nature is their culture/biology/gender system to ours, how much of their identity is maintained after the change, etc. Without these nuances handled properly it could come across as sexist. So the social commentary part of the story would require serious finesse. As a story independent of commentary, it sounds horrifying which is an aspect of my tg fascination that has always been a challenge to reconcile. My bias to this subject matter makes it hard to judge validity as a quality episode concept, all I can focus on is the potential pitfalls here. And regardless, no matter how they'd nuance the story, the internet will tear it apart either way if that's considered a factor here.

if the federation follows their prime directive then there is no story, is there?

mdaily

and what the hell fun would that be?

Rex

Absolutely diabolical Emory. ❤️

The moving finger writes, and says….Go for it! 😁

I've never been a fan of the "everyone is a woman" concept. The idea of being a woman seems less interesting if everyone is a woman... not sure why.

Emory Ahlberg

Yes! Luckily, the Federation only ever follows the Prime Directive when the plot says they should. 😉

Emory Ahlberg

Thanks, Beverly! Now I just need to get staffed on the show lol.

Emory Ahlberg

Interesting! I don't know much about the show or the Moclans. Are they all female?

Maggie Heels

That would be interesting for sure :)

Nayatha

This feels like something similar to Orville but in reverse since they had a race of all "male" aliens that surgically alter their children if female. They dropped the ball on that episode greatly.

Emily

I would read it I think

Emory Ahlberg

Fair! That actually totally makes sense, Blue. 😊

Emory Ahlberg

Right??? I'll call up Paramount and see if they're interested. 😉

Emory Ahlberg

How interesting. I haven't watched the Orville. It's disappointing if they didn't do that episode well. Is the show good otherwise?
