When millions of dollars are at stake in the streaming wars, and I see dozens of near-zero-cost posts about how “this is exactly the Trek all us old Trek fans have been waiting for dudbebrodudes!! It’s so amazingly goodlier than other stuff!” on reddit and now on lemmy, you’re damn right I am.

This show is badly-written CW schlock. It ignores canon, it is utterly devoid of coherent, consistent writing, and it lacks any of the soul of TOS, TNG, DS9, and at least most of VOY.

It is not good trek, and I will argue to the fucking death with the idea it is.

Lower Decks actually has the soul (not to mention the classic structure) of Star Trek, even as a parody.

SNW is only slightly less-abysmal than DIS. At least it still isn’t as bad as Picard.
