Watched the first two episodes of 'Lower Decks'.
You're supposed to 'rock out' with the death metal loving 'black female lead', while laughing at the danger-hair beta male. The subtext is so obviously woke that I fail to see why some of you tried to give this a pass. Perhaps it will get better later on, but you'll have to suffer through all the 'I got this' college/social media female humor throughout.
The Joss Whedon quippy writing, the uber-competent females, the obnoxious black female captain, the obnoxious black female lead, and the less than impressive male side characters.
This show is also part of the hostile take over of the Star Trek franchise by left-liberal feminist writers.
Which we thought at the time was a horrible way to end (although those closing shots of the different Enterprises were good) but "The Old Ass Riker and Troi Show (with appearances by the cast of Enterprise)" seems like All Good Things compared to the pure shitshow that followed for the last decade.
It was definitely a bad finale, but it was still Star Trek and it did feel like a send off. We couldn't even imagine they'd be depraved enough to give us Picard at the time.
