Starfleet Academy Director Jonathan Frakes Says Fan Hate Is ‘Dimensionally More Painful’ Today Than in the Next Generation Years

I liked the last episode more than any other in the season, despite it being maybe the least Star Trek one?

Previous one was ridiculous. Oh, these “kids” are traumatised by a bad experience? Let’s fix that with theatre! All together, 'cause of course everyone can heal with the same “therapy”.

I still hope this series can turn out to be good, after all TNG itself didn’t start out great. But it seems they want to bash you over the head with emotions and ideas, rather than make you feel and develop them yourself.

As someone who desperately wanted to go to Starfleet Academy most of his life: These are not the elite kids I thought would be in it.

“I swallowed my comm badge” is something a toddler would say, not a Starfleet Cadet.

That’s not an opinion you actually hold. You’re obviously saying that to generate “hate clicks.”
And this is why conservatives bitching about wokeness bother me. I can’t say things I don’t like about the show without it being dismissed as one of them.

I honestly think writers and show runners do it on purpose. They can’t write for shit, so they use bait, and when someone takes said bait, they use it to dismiss all criticism.

See Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Wheel of Time, Halo, Velma, Resident Evil et al. Rinse and repeat, over and over.
