Changing the hero’s race is a very controversial genre of fans. For example, many Harry Potter fans are in the full wizard of Tizzy that the black actor (Paapa Essit) can end up playing Professor Snape (a hero originally portrayed by Alan Rikman) on the upcoming Harry Potter TV show. It is easy to think about a modern phenomenon, but when changing characters due to racial problems, it returns to the golden age of television. Example: Manufacturers Star Trek: The next generation The Booby Trap episode changed Navid Daystrom’s character to Leah Brahms because the actor was white.

Navid Daystrom became Leah Brahms

If you are a large TNG fan, Leah Brahms does not need much to enter. She is the Warp Core Genius, whose Gele La Forge begins to fall after he restores her on Holodeka, and when they later meet in the meat space, Poor Geles face as the largest space incel. However, most fans do not know that the Brahmus hero was initially intended for Navid Daystrom, the offspring of the black hero’s doctor Richard Daystrom, but these plans had to be changed, as the show had already threw white actor Susan Gibnia.

To fully understand it, we will have to do a short Star Trek History lesson: in The original series Episode “The final computer” we are introduced to the doctor Richard Daystrom, who uses the company to test his fully automated M-5 multitronic system. Because it was 60s sci-fiWhile the new computer that can run the ship itself eventually takes over the ship and even destroys several starfleet ships located in war games. Kirks rescues the day, but not before we find out that this drama was caused by Daystrom by placing human grams on his shiny new toy schemes.

Doctors Daystrom The only and only appearance of them was a neurotic and short -sighted man whose technological shortcuts were killed by dozens of starfleet staff. Nonetheless, the prestigious Daystrom Institute was named after his name, probably because his previous work on duotonic computers, not the whole crazy thing. And Tng Initially, the producers wanted to secure their new spinoff connection to the previous show, including Richard Daystrom’s offspring Booby Trap, including the holographic version of Richard Daystrom’s offspring.

It’s a good idea on paper. Star Trek fans were usually happy with the different ways TNG connected with those who eventually included Dr. McCoy cameras, Ghostand scotty. Therefore, the authors of the Booby Trap believed that the descendant of a new genius engineer was the offspring of this one -time hero from the Kirk era, which would make a fun Easter egg. Unfortunately, the casting department did not connect to the original episode, so they did not realize that Navid Daystrom’s offspring is the descendant of Richard Daystrom, which would mean casting a black actor.

They were already in the role of white actor Susan Gibnia, so Navid Daystrom became Leah Brahms. Fortunately, the show retained her connection with her character, making Brahmu a graduate of the daystrom institute. She has never created killers ai or something else but she did Transform the beloved GEORDI LA FORGE to one of the most creepy guys in the Galaxy couple episodes.

Unfortunately, Brahm has never submitted a technology support ticket after GEORS became so broken. If so, they might have asked her a very useful question: “Have you tried to turn off your Incel and then again?”
