is it too woke?
Bear in mind Trek has always been 'woke' but is Discovery too 'woke?'
When all of the characters end up being trans, it might be too woke.
I say that as a fluid nonbinary trans lesbian.
Transwarp is a thing

Nah, it's just got bad boring characters with bad stories but good effects. I am going to give the new Star Trek with Pike a chance. They have good characters already. Better than any on Discovery. Now hire some decent writers.
shareI actually listened to what a number of YouTubers with friends on the inside of Secret Hideout and Bad Robot Productions said, and one thing they all made clear was, Alex Kurtzman (the Douchiest Douchebag TV Producer in the West) has actually been quoted as saying that he didn't want Trump Supporters watching his show. He put qualities into that turd that he knew people on the Right wouldn't like, to ensure they wouldn't watch or enjoy it, essentially alienating half of Star Trek's audience to a degree that some have eschewed Star Trek completely.
Someone in the studio probably knew his steaming turd of a show wouldn't get very many viewers in the States, so that's why they hid it behind a pay wall and didn't reveal the number of people watching at any point in the show's history. They knew it was a pile of crap that only very desperate or morbidly curious people would watch.
A testament to how shitty this show is doing is what happened when they finally aired older seasons on mainstream tv. The numbers were so bad, even reruns of shows like "The Masked Singer" had more people watching than that. Less than a million people tuned in. That's worse than even the worst-performing tv shows on GayBC on their premiers!
I remember hearing this one guy in the comments on Doomcock's episode about the ratings say that his mom insisted on seeing Shitscovery finally, (despite her son's protestations) and she ended up turning it off after 10 minutes, saying "This isn't Star Trek!" About time someone said the obvious.
The woke have inherited the earth, and ruined everything.
shareSupergirl tried the same thing. Now it's over.
shareI really wanted to watch that, and my brother endured the extra garbage to do so, but even he said the show went downhill when they put all the focus on the show's star gay couple and kinda pushed the title girl to the sidelines.
shareYep, we started out watching Supergirl and liked it until it became propaganda. Then we stopped.
Having gay couples is fine. I have gay friends ... like and respect them. However, we're friends as people. Their relationships and their own personal interactions are their own business, not mine, and they don't fondle each other and exhibit other PDAs in public. Rarely do my straight friends. It gets sort of annoying to have examples which are preternaturally important to the writers force fed to us, who have no interest in that element of the story whatsoever.
My wife and I aren't as critical of Discovery as AmeriGirl (above) is, we watch it. But there are scenes from time to time we just have to sigh and ignore.
The biggest problem with the series is that each show is one shot. I can watch "The Trouble Tribbles" as often as it is shown, and there are similar episodes in Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager I can make the same claim for. There's nothing about any Discovery episode that draws me back for a second viewing, even without the circumstance of it being a serial rather than discreet episodes.
from the criticisms of the new season it appears to be getting wokeier.. now making Burnham like a 'space jesus' or something
shareYeah, the Federation's rules prevent them from bringing primitive societies out of abject poverty and ignorance, but Burnham takes it upon herself to rewrite 150 years of existence for a whole galaxy because she didn't like how it turned out.
shareWell, I couldn't help but notice that there isn't a single white heterosexual human male among the characters...
shareLorca and Pike? but that was last seasons
shareIt's too shit is what it is.
shareYup, everyone is too emotional, gay, trans, combinations, etc.
