Starfleet Academy: “Woker than woke. Wokey woke woke. A cacophony of woke.”

Stolen food man, in the Star Trek world, is the best way they could think to develop a character. Not stealing photon torpedoes. Not using his Dad's old phaser to raise hell somehow. Not hacking a teleporter to, o, I dont know, teleport into and out of parties? Hermione using a time machine to attend more classes is more clever than this shite.

Food. fricking food. And the klingon, instead of getting into fights left and right for every slight, no matter how slight, is wild. maybe they could have explored what its like to go through late onset puberty as a klingon?

Nooooo. lets make that thing effete and genteel. If that was Worf's kid he'd slice him in half and not think twice about it.

Kurtzman admitted this years ago. He said he only wants to use Star Trek as a vehicle to push political messaging. He was not vague or subtle, he came out and said it.

They / thems think this is the way.



There is a reason these trash episodes drop at midnight.

Matt Walsh did a show on it this week. Entertaining to say the least. Matt Walsh that is, not the new Starleet Academy.

Is that Jonah Hill?

You don't think a show that is supposed to be about the greatness of mankind should be filled with every grievance and disablity they can think of

This I find hilarious.

The federation has essentially cured the vast majority of issues.

Which is saying something because Worf was the most calm and rational klingon imaginable.

What, did Trek leave the post scarcity era that all basic needs essentially cost nothing so there was no real poverty anymore?

not judging either way as sci-fi stuff has never been my thing but star trek has ALWAYS been like this.

Yes Star Trek has always been about inclusiveness and society getting beyond base human emotions of fear, bigotry, greed, and crime. But it has also been about intelligent and thoughtful writing with some reverence to the human pursuit of ideals and growth. So far this show has not delivered upon the original intent of Star Trek IMO. I don't think it takes itself seriously enough. It has an air of cheapness of thought to it- the irreverence was always the side dish not the main course. Just my opinion.
