    Yeah, anyone who complains that Trek is suddenly all woke and political now never watched any classic Star Trek or hasn’t been paying attention back then.

    I’ve watched all of Star Trek on the big screens and the small ones at least once - including Section 31 - and it’s as political as it has ever been. And there has always been brilliance and absolute dogshit. Those who say NuTrek is all shite don’t know what they’re talking about.

      they called STARGATE WOKE too, of all the scifi shows, they try to call a show that did use as much accuracy as possible to the USAF in the early years. additionally this was also discussed on one of cringey ml, hexbear posts for some reason, they are framing it as WOKE. they think its increasing propaganda because its based on USAF/CANADA/russian(to an extent).

      I agree “old” Trek was woke too. It just blended in better imo. (Especially with Disco, it felt like there was a metaphorical spotlight on the “woke”.)

        old trek had more subtlty, nutrek was too forced and out in the open to the point, it was distracting from the series plots. and std and picard were not very good shows. SNW need better actors/acting though, although they have much better arcs than the last 2.
