Twenty years after ッ age ら Discovery showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg say that CBS neither pressured them tO write their female heroes as ifthey were men in order tO make them more authoritative, nor did they ask them t0 glam up the characters' 100ks. Yeoh was surprised when journalists began to ask her about breaking ground as a woman Of COlor starring on a network series. "I grew up in Malaysia, with many races living all in one place; ” she says. "We embraced diversity a long time ago. SO it never comes tO my mind until someone POintS it out. ” ln recent months, Yeoh—who made her mark playing female warriors like Yu Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger and Jessica Yang in Supercop—has found a younger fan base.

"And for little girls t0 think, l'm Asian, but I can be the captain Ofthat ship tOO, that impact is immeasurable. Which has been the point all along. Trek's creator, Gene Roddenberry, set out tO tackle issues like race and class at a time when television was populated by white families living ⅲ the suburbs. To that end, Discovery will feature the first openly gay series regular on TV. (The film Star Trek Beyond revealed that SuIu is gay. ) And the writers promise that despite a heavy investment in special effects, they will use the series tO continue taking on SOCial and political issues. Martin-Green, t00 , wants t0 push for more progress. "I always say I think we have to have a healthy discontent; ” she says.

THE LAST STAR TREK television serles ended in 2005. Writer Bryan Fuller, wh0 worked on Star Trek shows Deep Space Nine and Voyager before he created HannibaI for NBC, began lobbying for a new Star Trek starring a black woman. Martin Luther King Jr. once told Nichelle Nich01s , who played communications offcer Uhura and whO was the one to lock lips with WiIIiam Shatner's Kirk for that groundbreaking kiss, that she was an inspiration tO him. lmagine ifNichols had gotten to play the lead, Fuller argued. CBS eventually greenlighted his idea for a Star Trek prequel set IO years before the original. The show will premiere on its broadcast network on Sept. 24 , but will then move to CBS AII Access, a subscription streaming site, in a bid tO take on the likes ofHulu and Netflix. Transferring the show tO the web is Just one 0f many tweaks CBS, is making t0 the Star Trek formula. Discovery traces plOt arcs and character development over several episodes rather than adhering tO the monster-of-the-week structure of the original. Martin-Green stars as Michael Burnham, a human orphan who is taken in by Vulcan-human couple Sarek and Amanda. (Fans will recognize them as the biological parents of Spock; as for Michael's name, Fuller has long made a practice 0f giving his female leads male monikers, with this one a nod tO the archangel Michael. ) She grows up suppressing her human emotions in order t0 assimilate into the hyper-logical Vulcan society. ln hopes ofhelping her connect tO her human roots, Sarek asks Captain Philippa Georgiou (Yeoh) t0 take Michael under her wing and teach her to engage with her emotions. The series begins with the two women leading the ship Shenzhou before certain spoilery events send Martin-Green's character on an adventure aboard another ship, the U. S. S. Discovery. The writers say the characters' mentor-mentee dynamic will be more realistic than most female relationships on television.

One professor told the New York Times that he worried she had soft-pedaled her crime. After Jones' story became public on Sept. 14 , many seemed t0 agree. "N0b0dy cares about the disabled child," said one disability activist. "lt's all about the poor parents. ” Others noted she had served less than halfher sentence. "Abusing and killing a young child is not washed away by 20 years in prison; ” said a commenter. "lt is, and rightly should be, a burden carried for life. But we should forgive Jones. Not just because she served time and should get tO re-enter society,. N0t just because she turned her life around, against considerable OddS, in America's confounding and dysfunctional incarceration system. And not just because studies have demonstrated time and again that a toxic childhood like Jones' has a deep impact on the mental health of those who endure it. Mostly we should forgive Jones because continuing tO punish a woman for something heinous she did as a teenager will not help that woman's murdered child in any way. lt will not bring him back or make his life more precious. Nor will it help future Brandons. Jones is in an unprecedented position tO shed light on some of America's thorniest problems: HOW can we make Tramc jam causality 100n prisons better?

POLITICS Republicans launch a last- ditch effort to repeal Obamacare By Nash Jenkins IN A SURPRISING REVERSAL, REPUBLICANS resuscitated efforts tO repeal and replace the AffordabIe Care Act, moving a bill to the brink ofpassage days before a key deadline.

The legislation would allow states t0 sell cheaper plans with skimpier coverage as well as waive minimum-coverage require- ments, and would end mandates for people tO buy insurance and employers tO provide it tO workers.

Health care experts, patient advocates and hospital associations came out against the plan, warning it could le ad t0 higher premi- ums and millions Of people lOSing insurance coverage. The Senate skirted the typical hear- ing process for the bill, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Offce said it won't have enough time tO estimate the act's long- term effects before the GOP hopes t0 vote. Even SO, Republicans are edging closer t0 passing it. The GOP'S previous effort t0 repeal Obamacare failed by a single vote. The party can afford two defections, and only one Republican Senator has SO far committed tO opposing the new plan. "l'm for a complete repeal; ” Senator Rand Paul 0f Kentucky tells TIME, dismissing the Graham-Cassidy legislation as "Obamacare lite. ” Several Other GOP Senators remain on the fence, including some whO supported earlier efforts.
