I decided to watch the third episode and just felt "These are people who were raised on Harry Potter and Hunger Games" and nothing else. Like they've never read anything outside the YA section in bookstore, if they read anything at all.

It felt all "Gryffindor vs. Slytherin" with the whole Starfleet vs. War College interactions. And even the whole Dumbledore tricks the kids into a lesson.

And all the frat pranks sound like what are Robot House does.
 
Why does everyone act like a retard? The teenagers act like retarded toddlers, the adults act like retarded teenagers. I think I figured out the plot twist. This isn't actually Starfleet Academy, it's a tard school for developmentally disabled spergs where they allow them to pretend to be Starfleet cadets and officers. It's like that little town for old dementia patients where the whole town looks like the 1950s and the loopy retarded patients think they're living their glory days.

If that were the actual plot, I'd be watching the hell out of the show.

Kurtzman’s brand of humor is, “what if Han Solo smoked weeeeeeeed," but this time without actors good enough to brainwash you into not noticing it sucks.

And if he’s really trying to make it The OC in space? That’s blank-check levels of stupid.

Bubba Ho-Tep but with Vic Fontaine and Jonathan Archer in two wheelchairs arguing.

Because as they saying goes; "you write what you know" and all these nepo-baby Hollywood wokies know is Commiefornia and their lives in upper class society.

The worst thing to ever happen to them is when Daddy buys them they wrong color of car or the barista at Starbucks gets their latte order wrong.

They can't write interesting or moving stories because they lack any measure of relatable human experiences. To them this drek they write is moving, it's thrilling and it's great drama because of how shallow the writers are. They collaborate and pass around the script, patting themselves on the back for how "relatable" and "realistic" the characters are because they all come from the same background.

Again to them this show is good, it is moving and it is great drama. They just have a completely different frame of reference then the rest of us non uber rich nepo-babies.

They are kids who grew up in a golden bubble dome and they just cannot related to us ordinary humans, this teenage agnst they write is what they know. It's all the they know so it's what they write.
 
Normally I'm not into "alternate universe" episodes of shows, because I know by the end they'll be back home safe and the chances are nothing that happened in the episode will have lasting consequences.

I'm glad I didn't skip ' Crossover' though, Avery is very obviously having so much fucking fun being the "evil" version of Ben Sisko and it's really fun to watch.

The psycho smiles he does all through this episode are borderline fucking degenerate

for some reason, I'm picturing George Lucas in the documentaries about the making of the prequel trilogy, pointing to this on a monitor and telling Rick McCallum, "Well, you see, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. That's what I hear, anyway."

Isn't the black one a hologram? Why can she take her clothes off? Why does she have to shower? If something got on the Doctor they just shut him off and turned him back on again. What's happening?

and "the characters are as smart as their writers".

Also if the Doctor was able to make himself look older, why doesn't she look fit, like a proper Starfleet recruit?

They hit the jackpot with "Crossover", then repeat the joke six more times until it feels like a Borat impression. Here comes Smiley O’Brien like a fucking NPC in Fallout. "I’ve marked another mirror-universe rebellion on your map."

The real mistake was killing mirror Odo. Once he’s dead, they can’t bring him back, so all you’re left with is...

I used to frequently listen to a few different podcasts about screen writing, one of the common complaints by veteran writers was that the new crop of writers coming up didn't really read books and were just influenced by other films and TV shows. Now you hear things that even in literature courses at college students haven't ever read an entire book, just assigned passages. It's surely getting worse.
 
In the new series, the Federation seems to be starting over, again. Captain Dentures Frizzle, despite her age, doesn't want to socially interfere with the new class of the Academy, and how they choose to shape their own Federation. And while watching just recently turned adult students in a newly re-established SA is odd, like some teenage romcom or a CW show, it does have merit. The underlying thought that our kids are the future, whether we like it or not, despite all our nostalgia, isn't wholly bad. I can find the positive in any Star Trek. (I can also find the negative, but right now, I don't want to. Cloning some dude's eye and making endangered sentient plants overrun the dorms to win a prank war with the rival school is the sort of stupid thing I'd have got up to in college given infinite technology.)

That's your mistake there: there is not such a thing as "proper" in the progressive vocabulary. Those things are just white people arbitrary designated standards that mean nothing. You can be an obese ballerina. You can be a dancer without legs. You can be a photographer without sight. It doesn't matter if the firefighter is fat and slow and he can't reach the victims in time. What matters is that his or her feelings were not hurt.

The OC was a dumb show, but at least it was sexy and the cast were, for the most part, hot.

There are hot black people, but they aren't interested on casting them. There is a bunch of shows and movies that include the obligatory black person and they aren't remotely attractive, which it's funny. I insist that the reason is that they just don't know how a hot black person looks like, so they cast whatever.

Correction: he likes birdwatching.

You just know that the writer was patting himself on the back for that one. They had absolutely zero idea what Klingons were like apart from the ‘warrior race’ trope so they thought they were so clever in choosing birdwatching of all things.

Doesn’t matter to them that they had years worth of shows/movies/multimedia that showed how varied Klingon culture really was. Hell, their biggest cultural export in the show is opera of all things!
