Kanutu-Wom'n is a newsletter created by Shona Jackson. In the first issue in 1989, she reviews (critiques; rants about) the fifth Star Trek movie and the role of women in it. This article is reprinted in Qapla' #23.
Has everyone seen ST V: In Search of a Plot by now? I did, and I'm sorry I wasted the money on it. It was the worse piece of crud to rise to the top since STAR TREK: the Motionless Picture. ...
I'd like to throw into the agony booth at maximum setting STAR TREK's (all three versions) writers and whoever else is possessed with that sicko obsession with powerful hostile (or not) entities being shown in the form and shape of White Euro MALES! god the father, indeed--URRK-BRAAACK!!! excuse me while I genuflect to Ralph, the god of the porcelain porcelain fixture!! As a woman and a Dianic Wiccan I have had enough of that kind of patriarchal GHOZE* in real life to last me several lifetimes over.
Shatner directed and had a large hand in scripting the movie, and I lay the blame to a lot that was wrong with ST V on him. He was arrogant enough to assume HE was giving the fen what we wanted, and in effect ended up with what amounted to a fanzine, and a not particularly good one at that.
The SFX were Ghoddess-awful...
The campout silly sing-along scenes was painful to watch...
...the embarrassing "love" scene between Uhura and Scotty--it was unprofessional, and insulting to Uhura as a career officer AND a woman...
