I <3 RP'ers

Seriously, some most of the people who rant and froth on the forums of any game can stand to chill a little. Maybe take after this guy.

Also, to all those bigots (anthro-centric?) people ranting about how we've always had a human captain of the Enterprise...

1. Capt. Spock (Ent-1701 in STII while it was stationed at the SF Academy)
2. Capt. Data (Ent-E in the ST Reboot prequel comics which are officially canon)

People who claim they don't "count" as non-human need to be suffocated under a mountain of tribbles.

Personally, I have no problems with a non-human captain of the Ent-F. As long as they have not officially killed off Data (again), which they haven't, it's all good. (My head-canon is now that the Ent-E was decommissioned and Data retired from Starfleet to be a professor at Cambridge or something like in that future AU in "All Good Things").

Okay, it's good to know they addressed this problem in the expanded canon. Although would it be that hard to handwavey and say the aliens look exactly like humans but are still aliens? Aren't betazoids something that look really, really human except for not having pupils or something? Anyway, just sayin' there are cheap ways to work in more aliens without shelling out too much more money for make up.

Yeah but it's not like they ever explicitly say all the human-looking guest minor chars are human or not so you can assume otherwise
