cuchiAbout Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash
Honestly, after Picard and Discovery I’m pretty much done with “New Trek”, I’ve lost my interest. For this I’m not even the target audience - this seems aimed at teens / young adults. And it’s once again produced by Alex Kurzman. So… yeah, I’m gonna give it a pass.
Same for me.
Just saw jem Hadar in the star fleet in this trailer? What?
I see them prioritizing:
…
Kurzman really destroyed trek.
I will see what comes out in the first 3 episodes, but as with discovery, I have extremely little expectations. Discovery ruined new trek for me: still cannot get over the mushroom drive and waterbear providing maps by shocking it with electricity, constantly whispering and whining of the main character, another crybaby destroyed dilithium in the galaxy because he has a ‘connection’… Take your pick
They do have some good casting, like Tig Notaro. Hope there are other good ones as well.

Why is that a problem? In TOS, Klingons were the enemy, then TNG brought us Worf. In TNG, the Ferengi were the enemy, then in DS9 Nog joined up. Star Trek is all about coming together and overcoming differences.
I see them prioritizing:
I wish. They’ve cancelled all the shows with queer representation. SNW has about a hundred relationships going on, all straight. I miss Disco and Lower Decks.
lime!none of those are explicitly evolved and bred by another race to act as their cannon fodder, and kept in-line by psychoactive substances they are genetically engineered to die without.
sure you can argue that they can be fixed by medicine and deprogramming, but it would be a bit like a new star wars film having a battle droid as a jedi padawan
Value SubtractedIf the Dominion has had any sort of reformation at all over the last several hundred years, I would think that freeing the Jem’Hadar would have been near the top of the “to do” list.
It hardly seems fair to compare them to robots.
no that’s fair, they’re more rike a clone army.
Did you watch The Bad Batch?
no i gave up on star wars completely in 2017 or so. it just depressed me too much that there always needed to be new things and that everything needed a tie-in.

I agree, but also… you know if battle droids existed in Star Trek there’d be at least one episode where one of them breaks with its programming and comes to Starfleet seeking asylum. Like the exocomps, or Hugh in “I, Borg”, or even Data getting his day in court to prove his free will. Star Trek wants everyone to be free, whatever they’re made out of.
I’ll take droid rights seriously as soon as Star Wars does. 😂
