He was. The evidence is pretty clear. But it makes for an interesting discussion nonetheless :)

You make it clickable like this:

As for Mulgrew's comments on Roddenberry... yeah. Not breaking news.

Yeah the latest update broke the URL tag. I assume it will return at some point.

On topic...well, yeah, it's hard to argue with Kate on that. TOS is REALLY hard to watch these days.

Well we know that she isn't wrong about that so this really isn't news. I mean we already knew that he kinda was misogynist before she said that.
