I LOVE action and adventure, and I enjoy those things within Trek, but when those things are the only things... I am left needing more. Of course this shallow version of Trek can be explained away as a simple introduction to the new universe. I buy that explanation, but that doesn't make the shallowness any less obvious or tolerable.

I agree. But it is entertainment, and sadly, sexuality sells, not accuracy.

They do in other Trek Series. And they do in many modern armies etc.

I'm sure many would have liked to see female mud wrestling on the Enterprise but I suspect that it would have caused a bit of consternation among Trekkers

Miniskirts were OK in the sixties but as far as I remember, no female officer has worn them since TMP. Female rights and the roles of women has (gladly!) changed and Trek has always reflected that. Until now.

By the way, women in TOS did at least wear nylons to their skirts. Just sayin`.

Oh definitely. And that may actually be to a woman's advantage in a fight...
