How on earth this apalling politically motivated fan fiction trash ever got
past the studio I'll never know.
Such a shame because the actors and actresses are really good as are the production values.
Burnham, the Empress and Pike are clear stand outs - they desperately need a capable writer.
Unfortunately the stories are clearly female written - lacking in logic (sic) and any form
of science fiction ethos of attempted or consistent scientific plausibility. There is a big
diffference between science fiction and science fantasy. Having a tense dramatic
scene based on not being able to solve a problem then seconds later coming back
with "I've looked at the data again and we can do it after all" is audience manipulation
of the worst kind. As for the person pushing his wheel-chair in the background -
well Star Trek doesn't seem to offer much hope for the dissabled in the future does it?
Presumably they've taken on board the myth that Star Trek is all inclusive and are determined
to get every race gender homosexual variation and dissability in every episode and never
mind the story - that's incidental.
Far too many women on and off screen looks to be the main issue.
As for the ability of every character to have intimate engineering knowledge of
everything - it's just hillarious.
When will they learn the Star Trek Voyager lesson?
This is beyond political correctness - it's simply inept.
You could write a book on what's wrong with this series - or maybe a trilogy.
