Comment on The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time...

  What do you find to be grossly terrible about it?

  No wonder everything is going to hell if people cannot even understand what it means to be done working through shit…

  If they were done working through shit then there wouldn’t be any problems left to write a TV show about. What you’re describing is one group of people being superior to another and that superior group swooping in to save the day much like the way America has viewed itself historically.

    Nope. There are plenty of episodes with drama that comes from other sources, or from their adventuring. They’ve even already challenged the whole idea of the post-scarcity human culture being so superior in older treks.

    So you’re kinda’ just further proving my point that it’s a gross lack of imagination to assume it has to be a facistic superiority complex.
