I want to like this show but the characters are just so lame.
I grew up with Star Trek New Generation and captain Picard was just great. But these guys all feel like really bad actors.
I found myself wanting them to stop talking or get killed in the show. They are so triggering bad. Nobody else feels like that?
Already have, sadly. It was the only one I liked since Star Trek Enterprise.
So much shit in the latest star treks that has much more to do with promoting the "woke" culture of 2020 and nothing to do with space exploration or story telling.
this isnt a problem, it's the nature of star trek.. the problem is they didnt do it through thought provoking metaphors, they just point at literally the problem with a grimace and that's it. The TOS episode with the half black half white face aliens at war with the half white half black face aliens is an example of how they could take more interesting angles that still promotes being awake to systemic injustice in the world.
Yeah I felt there is nothing interesting going on to keep my attention. They are exploring space - there should be tons of really interesting scenarios. Remember the entire Q thing with time travel and different consequences from all that, both morally and technologically. It made me feel really excited and interested in the choices that were made.
But in the last few shows, it's just missing. The big focus seems to be on throwing as many different races into the show as possible and make that the actual focus of the show. It was never the focus previously.
The crew here is annoying. For example, they keep reminding eachother how they are the best of what star fleet has to offer, but they can't act worth a damn. When she ship is being threatened to be destroyed, they don't look like they even care.
So I think you are right, it's not the wokeness that is so annoying but it becomes so much of the focus since there is no good story or acting going on.
If I have to watch "strong black woman" for the 100th time, it does tend to get really annoying. Can we have a good story in star trek please? That was the point of the previous shows at least.
