I wouldn’t subscribe to politics if you want to feel good about the world… And tech is mostly the usual stuff about insane billionaires needing attention from the serfs to feed their little fragile egos.
I’m only on the end of season 1 but it’s so super cheesy. He basically went “let anger into my heart”, then proceeded to hit the wall a few times, and now he can’t control his emotions anymore.
It’s so teenage level, all of this. They could have created something great here but they clearly didn’t care, and just put C level actors everywhere and hoped the audience wouldn’t notice how bad it is.
The previous episode was about how the entire ship became like in the book the doctor was reading, followed by some horrible acting from the entire crew.
Yeah I guess I don’t know why I am watching anymore. I shouldn’t.
Yeah I felt there is nothing interesting going on to keep my attention. They are exploring space - there should be tons of really interesting scenarios. Remember the entire Q thing with time travel and different consequences from all that, both morally and technologically. It made me feel really excited and interested in the choices that were made.
But in the last few shows, it’s just missing. The big focus seems to be on throwing as many different races into the show as possible and make that the actual focus of the show. It was never the focus previously.
The crew here is annoying. For example, they keep reminding eachother how they are the best of what star fleet has to offer, but they can’t act worth a damn. When she ship is being threatened to be destroyed, they don’t look like they even care.
So I think you are right, it’s not the wokeness that is so annoying but it becomes so much of the focus since there is no good story or acting going on.
If I have to watch “strong black woman” for the 100th time, it does tend to get really annoying. Can we have a good story in star trek please? That was the point of the previous shows at least.
Absolutely. And I hope Lemmy stays rather small actually… Too big is not good since it brings corporate interests in monetizing the entire thing. And then we are back to having ads and data mining and not being allowed to use certain words again like on reddit or other big tech sites.
I love sci fi, and I loved these star treks very very much, they are excellent:
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek Enterprise
Star Trek New Generation
Star Trek Deep Space Nine
However, these ones are awful:
Stat Trek Strange New Worlds
Star Trek Picard
Star Trek Discovery
I think the entire “woke” thing has become way too much in the last ones, to the degree that it’s annoying to watch.
I think it’s similar to watching TV shows with too much sex. I mean, it’s not enjoyable, it’s just annoying. Or watching Fox News for 5 minutes and wanting to jump off a cliff.
The thing is, literally all big tech companies also have zero respect for their userbase but people keep using Google, Meta, Insta and all those things.
I think us geeks have started to move away from it more and more, but the majority couldn’t care less.
Already have, sadly. It was the only one I liked since Star Trek Enterprise.
So much shit in the latest star treks that has much more to do with promoting the “woke” culture of 2020 and nothing to do with space exploration or story telling.
Every single tweet is getting attention. It’s so weird. These guys have all kinds of disorders and mental issues but the world loves their every comment. I guess we don’t have anything better to do than discuss what they are saying. Sad.
