The Woke Generation waves around diversity like a 60's pin-up bikini model waved around her huge boobs. Interesting but it's not art. So what if they are black, if they are still a dork?

@alextreky The Woke generation remind me of a composer who lived in the Soviet Union. He rubbed Josef Stalin the wrong way (never a good idea). Stalin was very critical of a recent composition and the composer commented in private, they beat you over the head over and over again while ordering you to be joyous You walk away numb and muttering "I will be joyous". These wokie types are the same way. Star Trek in it's original form was discussing great ideas in between moments of kick azz. Diversity was woven into the show with a seamlessness that didn't disrupt the flow of the show. The wokies like to beat you over the head with their wonderfulness and you are supposed to be joyous about it. I would say Star Trek may have run it's course. Years ago I felt like I was watching an endless repeat.

@ComradeOgilvy1984 Long term fans feel the show has drifted from it's original goals. If you started with Discovery you may not see it.

@alextreky Actually, the Social Justice B.S. just causes new problems 50 years down the road. Spock was more interesting than Barret was. Since Barret was Rodenberry's wife she still got a little action and because of their relationship she would have had to deal with jealousy issues. Not a good idea to have your wife as a major performer in a production. I look forward to the next version of Sar Trek with the same enthusiasm as the next Microsoft major update, being left to wonder how they will screw things up this time. I am not a watcher of serial tv shows anymore. I tend to favor history shows and I see how history is being distorted with social justice thinking. I have good fun with the people who like to repeat this distorted history. And nothing is more fun than making SJW's live up to their standards. I don't have to wait 50 years to enjoy it.

@alextreky It is nice to chat with one of the few people who watch the show. 50 years from now you can brag you were part of the select who had seen the show. At least CNN can brag their ratings are greater than STD, one of the few programs woke CNN can do that with :)

@ComradeOgilvy1984 Of course you would have to ignore the constant cries of racism by the left at the time. One does become a bit sensitive and starts looking for race everywhere. Drinker is doing what he has been conditioned to do. The original series had a we come in peace but we'll kick azz if we have to quality. There were a lot of browns on the Earth, but it was whites that pushed the world forward. Was it worth it? I dunno, maybe we were all better off as simple farmers. Once tribes formed 1,000's of years ago, chaos, war, mass murder and genocide followed.

@ComradeOgilvy1984 If you are going to sell something on a race basis, it can be judged on a race basis. Personally, I found Drinker's review amusing to no end. As Drinker pointed out, CBS wanted to use the show as a political platform. The gloves are off. Basically a lot of Woke is not so much any great concern for others than a small group of power elite wannabes want to parade around their wonderfulness. Sorry folks, borrrrring. I watched the first 15 minutes of STD but turned it off. It started out dull and I just didn't feel like going through the process of learning a whole new show. Star Trek has become less a past time than starting a whole job. I have always liked Michelle Yeoh but in the end I just lost interest despite her. I have seen extended cuts of the program and my initial assessment seemed right. When you are down to having your characters being eaten by a space worm, you are dangerously close to Mel Brooks territory. But once again, if you sell diversity, then you open up the racial issue. And just because an actor/ actress is black, that doesn't make them a great performer. Rotten Tomato's audience rating gives STD a 43% approval rating. Wow. The original sits at 88% and the animated series is at 94% (critic). When a cartoon beats you in the ratings, that is bad.

@ComradeOgilvy1984 By the standards of today, if you do not see race, you are a racist. And if you do not promote because of race, you are a racist. The social version of the Kobayashi Maru. Just watch out for the space worms.

@ComradeOgilvy1984 When you are with SJW's talk like the SJW's do. Drinker is conditioned because he listened to too many of these people. Your use of the term mangina indicates you have issues with 57 non-conforming varieties of gender. You need an update fast. Five SJW's points have been deducted from your social credit account.

I watched Star Trek when it first aired. I have seen the slow gradual decline of the series over the years. It was just a matter of time before a giant worm spit out a cast member or two.
