    Im always rather disappointed with this claim as doh, star trek is woke, it always was and nobody has complained about that part.

    When people complain about the woke part they complain about that star trek WAS woke and intelligent, yet now just pretends to be woke and hangs it like dangling keys in front of us to hide the fact that it’s become so absolutely shit.

    Seriously, every criticism I’ve seen about it (and also every criticism I’ve lobbed at it) always gets “rebuked” with “you just hate woke!”

    No I don’t no we don’t. I’m love the progressivism of old trek. I hate nu trek because it’s empty vapid drek that just tries to cram a much “woke” in there not to be woke but just to hide the smell of shit.

    Nu trek is awful.

    People have been raving about brave new worlds but those same people were raving about the mental anguish that is discovery and cringe Picard. I’m a huge star trek fan, been so for 30 years, but after Picard S3 I simply stopped. I watched trek at least once a week for decades, buy I haven’t watched anything trek ever since Picard ended. That’s how off putting Picard was as a show.l, it managed to ruin TNG for me.

    I know this will be down voted and people will just continue to say I am anti woke, that I love trumpmor whatever, even though none of that comes close to reality but nu trek fans have been… Different? Star trek fans were actually progressive and trying to make the world a better place. Ever since nu trek its been “think like us or fuck off”

    I’m so done with star trek. Long live the Orville!

        The crossover episode with Strange New Worlds was my favorite episode of any Star Trek since TNG.

          Same!

          “For all I knew, you were dead, or stuck in a dystopian San Francisco in the middle of a riot!”

          “Have you noticed that their references are weirdly specific?”

          “Indeed.”

          I like to think that 112 years later, Spock found out about Sisko’s trip and thought to himself, “Ah. That explains it.”

            He must have been walking on eggshells all through Star Trek IV, just waiting for a riot to break out.

      You like Orville but not Strange New Worlds or Lower Decks??? Also puzzling you gave up after Picard S3, that was the only decent part of the whole show. Felt like an extra season of TNG.
