(Star Trek was technically "woke" before there was a term for it. But the talented folks involved with the show back in the 60s, and then 80s and 90s could do "the message" and be entertaining at the same time.)


Yeah, the social commentary will come at you like a shot of Tabasco to the eyeball. See Picard Season 2 for an example.

The idea of a Star Fleet: Academy show has POTENTIAL, but considering they killed Prodigy after only 2 seasons I'm not feeling this as the right time for it.

In the pilot episode the students figure out how to remove/add penises with the transporter.


Considering a transporter breaks a person down to the atomic level, they could turn you into anything they want.

They could turn you into a toaster if the transporter chief was tired of your shite.

Someone should do a case study on the fall of Star Trek from 2009 to now.

More woman shite for male nerd IPs.

How much do Hollywood women hate male nerds?

Would be great if they had her cussing like Shohreh Aghdashloo's character did in The Expanse. She was my favorite character in the show. She took chances most politicians might not.
At first the cussing was unexpected. By season three it was a drinking / take a hit game!

Worst season of the entire franchise catalog (908 episodes). Well maybe Discovery season 1 is close, and Picard season 1 isn't far from those too.

Holly Hunter is a fine actress, but way too old for such a role. Yes, heading up the Academy can be a late career posting, but she's 66. To put that into perspective, Shatner was in his early 60s filming Generations, approximately the same age as Patrick Stewart was filming Nemesis.


Patrick Stewart was 80 when he did Picard.
