One I think we can all get behind… Also fantastic that they took the dude who said that and SURROUNDED him with badass women on the bridge. Seriously they’ve got like Spock and Pike on the bridge and that’s it.

Wow. Well, today I learned. Genuinely, thank you so fucking much for this piece of information. Especially when I have a very close friend who has had a hard time starting SNW due to that line specifically.
You’re welcome. I hope that your friend can understand that in this context the intention was good (to call attention to the exclusion of women from shipboard service), though the execution was bad.
Judging the current series on the merits of this one out-of-context scene, filmed 61 years ago for the rejected pilot episode seems… rather narrow-minded. It sounds more like your friend is looking for excuses not to give the series a genuine try. The context in which a piece of media was produced always matters - to ignore the context is to take a fish out of water and judge it for its inability to climb a tree.
