    I agree. StarTrek was always woke in the truest sense of the word. In my opinion the new shows are just not good - Neither as StarTrek nor as general entertainment. Except for maybe Strange New Worlds which certainly has shown some potential.

    You ending on a very positive note is kind of surprising to me and doesn’t fit the intro. How does it matter „you only get one chance to do it right“ if nothing of it will endure anyway? Even if you had a thousand chances, the outcome would not change. Not saying you’re wrong, but there’s a disconnect for me between your starting point and the end of your argument. You start with doomsday and end on a motivational TED talk message.


  • People who are drawn to positions like these are often conservative (I’m not saying facist), so it makes a lot of sense to me. In real life you can see that with the police and other security-centered jobs for example. And it makes a lot of sense, since these positions are about keeping things „in order“ which is a very fundamental conservative value if you think about it. So rather strict, inflexible security chiefs are very believable to me.
