    Yeahhhhhh, historically, the original Treks just did NOT understand how to properly utilize FEEEMAALE characters, from the writers to ahem the producers. coughfuckbermancough

    All the women in star trek could have been given fantastic roles and their own episodes here and there like the male cast get their own personalized episode… But they just weren’t given good material.

    Mostly they were used as a prop, or an echo chamber to validate the protagonist of the episode.
