A new Star Trek series but 90% of the dramatic tension comes from each of the characters believing themselves to be the Outsider archetype.
If YOU’RE the new Spock, and I’M the new Data, and HE’s the new Seven of Nine, and SHE’S the new Odo, and THEY’RE also the new Spock…. then who’s piloting the ship?!
Sometimes a family can be five autistic-coded characters flying a starship through space.
A Vulcan, an android, an ex-Borg, a Founder, and an autistic human? I’m on board for that.
Seriously, I’m on board. I’ll make a self insert just for this show. :-)
And then when the bog standard Relatable Everyman character joins the cast he realizes that HE is now the awkward Outside archetype who makes humorous social miscalculations.
I think I’ve actually seen fanfics about the lone Human aboard a Vulcan science vessel and the humorous social miscalculations that resulted, but it’d be kind of awesome to see multiple autistic-coded species interacting with each other and then the token Normal Human. (And I think it’s very important that one of the autistic-coded people actually be an autistic human; let’s not accidentally suggest that only non-humans could possibly act autistic.)
