There is a lot more viewing than folks think. The Star Trek Academy podcast has seen way more uptick for downloads than they have for other new era trek. I mean that’s pretty weird if people aren’t watching.

Every time I hear some #TrumpHumper say Star Trek is too WOKE, I tell them "Star Trek has ALWAYS been WOKE, and anyone that uses WOKE as an epithet, is not welcome as a fan in the Star Trek universe😈
That seems to make them really mad! I wonder why?

The important thing to remember is that these chuds don't know or don't care about facts, precedent, history or values. All they care about is stirring up shit and discord as a means of furthering their own ends. Nothing they say is in good faith.

'I don't like star trek academy' is now the Trek fans equivalent of boomers leaving reviews that say 'I haven't been to this restaurant, 0 stars' or 'This recepie is awful. It had too much sugar and didn't need to be cooked so I swapped it for 50 grams of protine shake and destroyed my oven'.

It is super frustrating discussing Starfleet Academy with critics because so many of their complaints are just signs they don't watch the show but draw random complaints from screenshots. They don't engage with the material, just hate for hate's sake.

I will cheerily read a comic about Spider-Man in his 20s or watch a Star Trek show about teens, but if I don't like it (and believe me, I often don't) I don't start thinking the rot is with out-of-touch creators and showrunners. Simply understand that they're working to a different brief.

Respectfully hard disagree, have been waiting for contemporary music since TNG era. The idea that some of Earth's most influential and listened to music would more or less disappear and only classical, opera, and jazz would survive is oddly unST. Academy being aimed at YA audience pop music fits.

Riiiiighht? So scandalous and tasteless to have any kind of sex or intimacy in Star Trek. What if her fallopian tubes were on the outside of her body and his appendage was too large to fit? I mean does no one think about complications of biological dissimilarities? Anyways, here's a clip.

Academy is Star Trek through and through, and I love it so far.

Sometimes in Trek movies/shows, the core message gets muddled by a bad script or plot, but only one Star Trek has ever failed to embrace the message even in the slightest, and that was Section 31.

I just wanted to understand your point of view. Not sure how me trying to do that is telling you what to think?

Well older Star Trek is your thing and I love it too. But the nuTrek is like a new Doctor - different face same character 😍😍

John Logan said something on Frakes and Spiner's podcast that dropped yesterday and it really struck me, it was along the lines of "if Star Trek becomes nostalgia, we lose Star Trek" and that's all these people want, they want nostalgia
