Yeah, I'm not excited.
"Best I can do is gay theater kids."
I'm sure there are plenty of actual bigots who hated Academy solely because it starred women and people of color, and they deserve to be called out. However, there are just as, if not more people who think the show had awful writing and characters.I wanted a real Star Trek Academy show and this piece of shit is what I got. Anyone wanting Enterprise back is likely gonna have... something like Academy.
better shows have been cancelled for worse reasons, but this was cancelled because it sucks.
yeah the idea of the guy born into space travel knowing lots of little bullshit about space life should have gotten a lot more mileage
I've still never seen a single image documenting any letter-to-the-editor, op/ed, or even a tv listing saying they're running a different Trek this week to back up the claims of outrage at the time the space jerks mushed Uhura and Kirk's faces together
Well she's wrong. And fat.
I don't hate it because it has gays and nogs in it. I hate it because it's the same slop writing we've been subjected to for almost ten years: everyone is special, everyone is a victim of something, people behave like idiots and not like actual (aspiring) members of a military organization. It shits on its own source material and legacy and feeds the audience decoy memberberries in the vein of "we've skimmed memory-alpha for five minutes", Also just like all the other Kurtzman shows before it, it looks absolutely terrible, I'm really fucking sick of the set design, lighting and lens flare everywhere.
The producers could also have chosen not to cast the niggiest nogs to walk the planet. It really brings me out of the show when a Jem'Hadar STARS TAWKIN LAHK DIS 'N' SHEEIT. NIGGA, WE BE OUT HEE.
Only so many hours in a day... It amuses me that we may need to start paying bigots to keep up with the demand for them with current year writers.
It's all good as long as the replicators work to provide a quick taco to tame the hanger.
That's what bugs me about a lot of shows etc nowadays which do things like time travel. They have the people in the past be like insta racist. As if they were patrolling the roads for black people to oppress.
They probably think videos by "right-wing grifters" (whatever that means) are the same as actual bigotry.
We already kinda have a gay Klingon everyone loves: Bortus from The Orville. His relationship with Klyden is a major part of his arc, but it isn't the only notable part about his character. He's stoic, he's a loving father, he has his own vices, and he gets along well with Kelly.
Well you... uh... you don't like Burnham, so that makes you a bigot, you bigot!
It sucks that Star Trek kinda blew its load with a really good black character (Sisko) and now all the following black characters are fucking lame.
That's a case of bad acting, bad writing AND bad casting happening all at once. She's got no charisma, she's very ugly, and her motivations are annoying. The dudes at least have a chance in the Melrose Place/90210 reboot kind of production, she shouldn't be acting at all.
Bad directing, too. A good director can throw out a script, coach a mediocre actor, and get a decent result so long as the actor knows his lines.
Picardo’s been on thin ice with me for years.
