If they ever reboot Buck Roger's in the 25th Century for tv again... Think they'll have a scene like this??

[crossovernegro]

lol... was just watching a bit of this show on ME-TV tonight... it was an episode with her on there but not sure if it was this one... only saw the first half.

 

[Mo-Better]

Never mind

[ThaBurgerPimp]

Funny George Clooney is trying to reboot Buck Rogers

 

[geechiedan]

The idea of a reboot IMO should be from the original Buck Rogers series where they battled Ming the Merciless, in an intergalactic war. With a war you should easily be able to get in a couple of seasons.

I did like this show but always felt they needed to kick it up a notch. IMO the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century just lacked the intensity to make me want to see the next episode. The show was just too cutesy although I now watch it every week on MeTV.

i thought ming was flash gordon?

Damn if you ain't right. I'll just delete my mistake and a big thanks.

No.
Because in today's Hollyweird:
- Princess Ardala would be a strong, independent, lesbian of color (Black).
- She would have a past sexual history with or be in love with Wilma instead of lusting after Buck.
- She would be the greatest warrior of her people and "Don't need no man" to protect her and has a constant need to show it.
- Kang would be a sniveling, simp of a man who is trying to undermine Ardala. (Instead of an intelligent, loyal, proud and capable advisor he is).
- Buck Rogers would no longer be the hero of the show but more of an after thought. The show would now be a platform for and focusing more on pushing SJW/Diversity/LGBTQ/Feminist messaging.

Sadly, this is the status of modern scifi....

 

[vertigo]

lol, cat looking like Black Dynamite

 

[T_Holmes]

Yo. This chick really called in Big Jim Slade.

...

But on the real, I thought this was going to be about the time those little alien dudes tried to strip down Wilma. That's a memory that I never really let go of, even though not that much happened.

 

[knightmelodic]

lol. This very episode was on last night. Nah, they'd never get away with this nowadays. The christian right, evangelicals, and trumpies would go bananas. Even tho every one of their wives and gf feel the same way and every male is afraid that they feel this way.


I only paid attention to this show when Wilma was is spandex. Lawd. The guest eye-candy was usually nice too.

Second season sucked ass because they went for a really schlocky and ridiculous vibe and took Wilma out of the spandex for the most part.

Remember all these space shows were in response to the popularity of Star Wars.

When that music hit tho!

 

[blackbull1970]

They used to do so much shit back in the 70s and 80s on TV, I would say over 75% of what they did could not be done on network TV today.

Racist, Sexist and homophobic material was the norm back then and nobody gave a fuck.

I get your annoyance with it but I don't think Black people or POC, in general, should be complaining about the SJW/diversity push considering the society we've grown up in. I would say that the post-civil rights era has been a transition time for our society. The evolutions and growing pains are awkward and are going to be awkward. The hamhanded/forced push for diversity is born out of a mindset that's used to things being one way.. in fact, all the things that we grew up in and was conditioned in were in fact forced like jim crow laws and societal rules on how women are supposed to act and are treated in very real ways, etc. We all didn't agree to that shit! All of that wasn't natural... it was man-made and consciously designed to function that way for the advantage of white males. So if society is MADE to function one way then the only way to break out of that is to MAKE something happen so that it functions another way.

And many times it's not going to be executed the "best way" and you're not going to satisfy everyone. But then again how many people were happy about the old way things were going?

Buck Rogers was created out of the White Man's Burden trope of promoting white men as the saviors of the world and everything they see and touch. Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, John Carter, Tarzan, etc etc.. All are singular super smart and/or resourceful white men who are the ONLY ONES who can save the town, city, country, planet...hell ANY planet they happen to be on. Some of that is a natural element of whose telling the story...white man makes the story so of course a white man is the hero but there are also forced design elements in that NO ONE ELSE is to be allowed access to the same platform. And NO ONE ELSE is to be allowed to shine as brightly as any heroic white man. It's not a coincidence that the shifts you've seen/are seeing have happened in the last 50 years of a society that's hundreds of years old.

So it gets to me to see black people complain about diversity/SJW things...I get the frustration with the hamhandedness of it but naw homie...we NEED this happen.

I wanted to pipe Wilma's flat ass, sooooooooooo badly.

naw...people gave a fuck..they just didn't have the platforms we have today..there was backlashes to shit it just had to wait 3 months to show up in the OP/ED page of the newspaper actors and celebsgot hatemail all the time..I'm sure pamela hensley got some hatemail behind that scene.

I can agree with most of what you posted here but I still protest that SJW/LGBTQ/feminist socio-economic politics doesn't need to be forced down the audiences throats at every given opportunity.
- Race swapping beloved, popular or well established characters in favor of checking off boxes is not promoting diversity.
- Nor is changing previously established characters sexuality to represent the LGBTQ community mean progress and acceptance.

Seriously, please tell me how does changing Lando Calrissian from an example of positive Black manhood...

... to a "pansexual" lothario who's willing to fuck anything. (Including androids)...

... in any way helped make Star Wars more accessible for mass audiences when NO ONE asked for it?

And I know you're an intelligent dude, so I know you've noticed that there's a sharp upswing in presenting more and more Black characters as being LGBTQ....?
When it's primarily White men and White women writing & promoting this shit.
Notice how in the name of promoting diversity/LGBTQ/feminism these shows deliberately focused of making Black men gay, trannies and weak.

As I said it in another thread:

"Dave was RIGHT".

I agree.
We absolutely NEED diversity and representation in popular entertainment.
It's HOW they present it to us, is my issue....

Nothing happened back then cuz nobody gave a fuck.

A good example was Happy Days and the character Fonzie.

He was a grown adult man hanging around teenage boys and fucking teenage girls.

Nobody said jack shit. They used to have the Fonzie leather jacket hanging in the Smithsonian. They took it out some years ago because of complaints.

They also in the show introduced Laverne and Shirley on Happy Days who were two adult skank hoes that knew Fonzie who brought them on to fuck Richie and Potsie who were teenage boys.

And then you go back and look at all them Norman Lear shows. "Maude", "All In The Family", "The Jeffersons" and "Good Times". The shit they did on them shows if they did today.....Mofos would have a damn stroke.

And there was "The Duke of Hazards". That fuckin' General Lee blasting across the screen with the Confederate Flag proudly displayed. I would be at my GrandParents house or relatives their age and they loved watching that show. And they all grew up in the south in the 30s and 40s and took part in the Civil Rights Movement. None of them said a damn thing about that stupid flag.

I know Kane (Michael Ansara) as the Klingon Kang.
