    I don’t believe it honestly. Been burned on DSC and PIC already which were raging trashfires. Is the transformers guy and his bad robot nepo babies still involved?

      Not sure who you’re referring to here. By bad robot I assume you mean JJ Abrams? He only directed the 2 movies a decade ago as far as I’m aware. I don’t know of any transformer guys in star trek.

        No. Alex Kurtzman primarily, who is the showrunner for DSC and PIC, handed such a role for his previous successes like writing Transformers 2 - movie well known for it’s gripping story - and making smash hits like TASM2.

        But not just him, also Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon and Kirsten Beyer. You know, the four horsefolks of the apocalypse that ran trek into the sorry state it’s in today.

        JJ is actually a decent director (I’m a clovefield fan from back in the day). These people on the other hand are all talentless hacks.

      You are a close minded fool. I bet you also complain about how “woke” Star Trek became

        Projection. Just because I’m not a moron consuming mindless corporate slop with more plot holes than plot and contrived drama doesn’t mean I’m some rightoid just because both upset you.

        If anything you make them look cool, were I not pretty far-left I’d probably now think the anti-woke people must be onto something if they don’t consume actual garbage and upset those who do. After all, It’s a natural desire to not want to merely consume product and get excited for the next product but to engage with stories and think about them critically, an ability you evidently lack.

        Besides, modern trek isn’t really woke at all actually. It doesn’t really explore any challenging themes or any real dilemmas, the non-binary thing in DSC was genuinely less thought provoking than the clunky TNG episode from 40 odd years ago.

        If you want some actual woke AF sci-fi, go watch For All Mankind, made by people who know what they’re doing, like Ron D. Moore, you know, the guy with probably close to a hundred lead writer credits on some of the best TNG and DS9 episodes and showrunning BSG under his belt.

        Hell the Expanse is more thought provoking and uplifting than PIC, who’s most thought provoking character is a guy who cuts people’s heads off with a sword.
