    I want to like this show but the characters are just so lame.

    I grew up with Star Trek New Generation and captain Picard was just great. But these guys all feel like really bad actors.

    I found myself wanting them to stop talking or get killed in the show. They are so triggering bad. Nobody else feels like that?

        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.

          Have you tried Star Trek Prodigy? It definitely has much less of the woke angle you describe compared to Discovery and Picard.

          Edit to clarify: I have no issue with diversity and representation, obviously. In fact, I’m more annoyed by the right’s misappropriation of the word “woke” than I am with shows that are hamfisted about it. Nor do I think that Prodigy is any less Star Trek. I just like the writing more and think that its representation is well executed.

          Star Trek has always been woke. Nichelle Nichols was one of the first black women to feature prominently on TV in a lead role. She was also one of the first actresses to have an interracial kiss on US television.

          If you can’t see that Star Trek hasn’t always been about equality and diversity and learning to accept those who are different then I’m really not sure what you’ve been watching.

            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.

              I’ve not heard of a show called “Star Trek New Generation”. Are you thinking of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”?

              Are you sure you’re a fan?
