After the first 5 eps it seems like this is pure queer gender
Was happy to see that new series, which was more Star Trek like then Star Trek (Discovery). And at the first 2 eps I thought "Yes, thats how Star Trek should be" (beside the often bad jokes). But with each further ep it was more and more obvious that, within this series, men are presented as complete idiots and women presented as being perfect.
The captain is a loser. He dont have any confidence and most work is done by his First Officer (a woman). She was also the one which withstood torture in "If the Stars Should Appear" without any doubt. She discovered the bad nature of the time traveler (again a woman) at "Pria" and let the captain confess that he was completely wrong (what was a script bug, cause wouldnt the captain trusted her all of them would be that be ep 5!).
The physically strongest character on board is a woman (Alara). The wise old character is ... a woman (Dr. Claire Finn).
So whats with the other men characters? Helmsman Gordon Malloy is a drunken idiot. He was even presented as one at "About a girl" (BTW the baby to protect was indeed female). And John LaMarr is the archetypical black guy (he jumps around when he hits a ship and shouting "Boom". Perfect equality appearance ;) ).
Sorry, but right now the series appears like some sexist comedy of the 1950s. Only difference at its sexism is that the men are stupid as sh*t and women are perfect. Read now that scripts are done by a woman. I hope that the first few eps are just some accident and that the other eps will become better. But right now the obvious message destroys this otherwise fine show completely. I dont like to be described as an idiot. That was stupid at the 50s and its now not a bit smarter.
