Hot Take Flavor: Star Trek
Cheron and Cheronians living past the original series episode does not diminish the impact of the story.
In fact, I argue it gives hope to the result of destruction via racism being final. The story of hate is never done, and there is always a way to recover. (Fuck knows we need hope through the hate.)
Though, I would like to see one or two right side white left side black Cheronians.
But Virgil in Section 31 was just the most adorable creature and the actor, Augusto Bitter, seems absolutely delightful.
Let's hear it for the Cheron comeback.
#Do not get me wrong Section 31 was a hot mess and the only good thing about it were the actors and characters#But damn this little Cheronian stole my heart#Don't think my little nonbinary ass isn't gonna be doing the right side white left side black costume sometimes in the future#I probably won't but gosh isn't it a great thing to pretend I will do?#Virgil Star Trek#Cheron#Cheronian#I dunno man I just think if Cheronians can survive maybe there's hope for our sorry asses#I also haven't watched that TOS episodes in over a decade#(maybe even over 2 decades)#But aren't they just adorable!?
