The other example is Episode 7, "Embracing the Winds", where Spock is in competition for the vacant captaincy of a starship with a young ambitious and questionably capable female. Admiral Erin Grey (of 70's Buck Rogers fame) serves as judge. Very little happens in the episode, aside from Commander bossy-pants giving long speeches about early 2010's fourth wave feminism that could have been copied directly from a contemporary Anita Sarkeesian diatribe. All the characters nod along politely throughout her terrible arguments noting what good points she's making. Then the episode resolves with the vacancy no longer available, leading to nothing happening, other than Captain Vic pondering how wahman have been so done wrong.

At least Chekov got a promotion!

Kirk future-proof that episode by saying that there are no women captains, so this show had to abide by that continuity and make sure Garrett couldn't be captain. What made it a waste to me is that they had Jet from Cowboy Bebop play a boring Vulcan instead of a hard-nosed Tellarite grilling her incessantly like that iconic scene in A Few Good Men. That would have been an awesome way to tell that story because the mystery is what Garrett did to be suspicious in the first place, so having her melt down in spectacular fashion would keep the continuity.
 
Sisko is more akin to a sheriff then a ship captain and acts as such

Gene sitting there like a confused old dog, and they’re jingling keys in front of him going, “Remember The Rifleman? You liked Rifleman, right?”

And they wanted Odo to act like "Clint Eastwood.":story:

I watch a lot of absolute bottom of the barrel stuff and one thing I try to do afterwards is pick one nice thing to say about it. Some movies might have a really good score, another a good location scout, one might have attempted some interesting practical special effects, heck, at worst I can say that it looks like they at least had fun making it.
I've been wracking my mind trying to think of a positive for Academy. The best thing I can can up with is that the basic premise of a show about Starfleet cadets isn't a bad one and I could see decent writers doing something inventive with it.
This is the worst show in nu-Trek by far, it feels spiteful in a way the other shows weren't able to pull off.

This game is news to me. I kind of remember a SNES Academy game. If you name your cadet James T. Kirk, the game’s like, “Alright, fine,” and you beat the Kobayashi Maru.

Afaik they couldn't manage to drag any actual DS9 vets into this except for like one throwaway voice-over.

I'm gonna throw a hundred bucks on Kalshi that this episode means nothing, it won't move the needle and then it'll be ignored for the rest of the season like always.

They paid Brooks to read some kind of poem so I don't know.
 
Rewatching DS9 for the first time in over a decade and holy fuck did I forget just how much I hate the Bajorans and every single plot element that has anothing to do with their stupid shit.

It's like the writers try to force you to sympathize with them while also making them as unlikable as humanly possible. And no even if that was done on purpose for some interminably faggy reason it doesn't make that writing decision any less retarded.

The Federation should've just left Bajor under a Cardassian boot.

A whole lot of nonsense could have been prevented if the Feds helped Cardassia eradicating the Bajoran menace.

It's pretty fucking hilarious that they didn't win their freedom in a fight. They just annoyed the Cardassians to the point it wasn't worth putting up with them anymore.

Which is very funny because it’s like imperialism made them annoying.

I do like detail where they’re like, “Bajor used to be hot and fun.” Like they were doing ayahuasca and chilling, and then the Cardassians show up. And the Cardassians are implied to be former monks too. Then there was a famine. It’s like an abuse cycle.

...Also, who is Bajor's guy? Garak immediately steals the show. Dukat is doing Brando in Streetcar shit. Bajor's representative is… a very sex starved librarian.

Klingon Academy is also an absolute banger and did far more to flesh out the Klingons than even TNG.

Their religion is pretty cheesy. The music they play during spiritual scenes reminds me of Peruvian flute bands. It's very 90s. Kira pronouncing Bajoran prayers and blessings is slow and deliberate like someone reading made up words. Which it is, but you're supposed to sell it better. Peldar joi!

They blended freedom fighter and terrorist so much that retard liberals conflate Bajor vs Cardassia as simultaneously Jews vs Germany and Muslims vs Jews. It snags and tangles into a mess as fans overlay it on too many real world conflicts at once.

Bajoran uniforms were ugly colors in extremely generic styles. They should've done a redesign as soon as they swapped out for DS9's new Starfleet uniforms (the best in any series btw). Bajor actually had a good excuse to change their uniforms, unlike the other shows. 90s Trek uniforms were like baseball teams across ships.

Cardassia had already withdrawn it from their neck. Without the Prophets, the Federation would have lost to the Dominion, but by the time they lost the Founders would've been genocided by Section 31's plague doctors.

I'm on a rewatch and just watched the soil reclamators episode. It's like the Federation couldn't just bring in industrial replicators to help Bajor rebuild.

There's a tradition the final Kai before the golden age is a servant of the anti-Sisko.
