Angry Asian Trekkies
Two Asian-Canadian(/American) friends from the 80s rewatch selected episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in an effort to come to terms with the multicultural politics of their childhood. Both critical and nostalgic, Angry Asian Trekkies seeks to understand the allure and pitfalls of TNG's not quite post-racial longing, and to decide if they can continue to love this show in the twenty first century.

ST:TNG S2E20 We debate Suzie Plakson's performance as the firey, bi-species (really, biracial) K'Ehleyr; show our appreciation for Marina Sirtis, Goddess of Small Moments; and cringe our way through that infamous sex ritual. Can TNG think race and gender at the same time? Or is it doomed to the dance of white feminist women and brown traditional men?
