And with that sentence, my days of not taking you seriously have reached a middle.
Are you "aging out" of Star Trek?
- Thread starter Omega-Trekker
- Start date
It proves they don't get it.
Romulans. *shakes fist*
Using the word 'woke' is like wearing a sash indicating you belong to green team or purple team; it's a good way to make everyone on the other side instantly turn on you, but a bad way to communicate what you specifically didn't like.
Anyway, when Star Trek's not on I'm watching Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and My Adventures with Superman, so my issues with the new series are probably not down to me aging out of it.

Nothing wrong with saying that the show is too progressive for you and pointing out what you don't like. However, woke is like trigger word these days, so best to avoid it.
Star Trek "too progressive".
I feel no need to watch it again.
Are people souring on Season 3 of Picard now? I haven't seen it again since it originally aired, but I remember it really wanted to be a DS9 season but realized they were using the TNG cast and shifted gears really fast to yet another Borg story. I think the season was the best of the three (Though I did enjoy Season 1 some) but overall, I don't look at Picard as fondly as some of the others. Ironically, the two series geared towards kids and young adults (Prodigy and Lower Decks) are the two that I have gravitated most to in the streaming era. We'll see how Starfleet Academy goes, but I will say the first two episodes had things I liked and didn't like in them and considering my expectations were low, that's a moral victory.

I like Prodigy. I get Clone Wars vibes from it. Another IP, where I like the animated over most of the live action outside of Andor.
I haven't rewatched Picard. I remember season 2 being a homage to Star Trek IV. The last season felt like it was trying to accomplish too much in too little time. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it was more nostalgia.
Picard kid's story line (from season 3) I enjoyed the least. He gets a kid without any of the work being an adult to pursue his career even though this whole idea of him having kids was built up in the film Generations, which his story line in there felt a lot like the Nike Cage film: The Family Man.
I hate Season 2 with a passion, but I don't remember it being a homage to Star Trek IV. Maybe because of the Kirk Thatcher scene, but they tried to do so much in that season and it was very incoherent.
As for Prodigy and Clone Wars, I think the fact that I really liked Clone Wars and Rebels made me like Prodigy all the same. It took a little bit to get going, but once we got to Kobayashi and Time Amok, I was firmly on board with it.
I still like Picard Season 3 and would look forward to Legacy if it happened. That's not an invitation for people to argue with me about it. We're just going to agree to disagree.
But at the same time, I'm also liking Starfleet Academy.
OTOH, if someone says about New Trek, "they made it woke!", they've lost me, because we disagree about something far more important than a handful of TV shows.

Because Clone Wars was able to be both a kids show and still have adult content is what made me give Prodigy a chance. American animation tends to be mostly kid centric unlike what I see with anime from Japan.
"When did Star Trek become woke?" -- September 8th, 1966.
Even earlier - the first day of filming The Cage in December, 1964.
I enjoyed it while it aired, though I started to sense something was increasingly wrong during the back half of the season. By a few months later, I realized I'd wasted 10 weeks with the most empty Big Kahuna Fanservice Burgers.
Trek being woke is what Trek is about.
Trek fans complaining about woke is what Trek has been against since the start.

Man, if any streaming Trek is "too progressive" for you all I can say is, the message not only didn't land but it's also being read in the dark by somebody unwilling to even buy a light bulb.
One other thing I will say about Picard is I did not like the way the Cast was treated and watching "The Pitt", they really did Isa Broines badly. She's a terrific actress who really wasn't given a chance to shine.
Isa should have remained a significant character throughout the entire run of the series. To have her be so instrumental in season 1's story and then put her on a bus in season 2 was rather insulting.
