The next Trek franchise debuts May 5th. It’s centered around Captain Christopher Pike’s time as commander of the Enterprise. I thought I’d let other Trekkies know. There’s a trailer out now.

I still remember the time Riker fell in love with the asexual alien.

I watched the train wreck until the end. They marched out Stacy Abrams as president of Earth. That's how freaking woke it was. Terrible. Even if the new series is good they lost a ton of viewers with the Discovery abortion. We can't have anything good anymore.

As far as production values Discovery is an amazing achievement. Star Trek has always pushed social boundaries. I'm on season 2 episode 2.
I grew up watching Kirk mackin' on the ladies, it's normal behavior. This queer bullshit with the doctor and the engineer is going to lead kids astray.

I must say that is, to me, a fun and compelling trailer.
Yeah, I'll find a way to watch it.

So far, for my money, the only good modern Trek is Lower Decks. That's at least occasionally funny.
It has NOT been a great crop so far, and this makes me tremendously sad. So many good ideas squandered.

I've been watching Discovery. Just doesn't feel like star trek. I don't know the definition of the method but each season has one theme with all episodes connected. Woke as ****. Excellent acting and movie quality production.

We watched it. It was ok, so we'll continue watching to see how "woke" it gets. We really liked, "Picard", except for the last episode where Raffi and #Seven kissed. Picard was a bit slow, but was one of the better shows on tv to watch.

The problem with me is Discovery ISN’T Star Trek Original or TNG.
Kurtsman and fag writers ruined it!
So Screw them, I will not watch that one.
It doesn’t exist in my head canon or DVD collection and never will.

I like it so far. More like the original series.
Politically, Star Trek was always globalist, but the original series and the new one in the OP are not as "dark". Picard (the series that just ended) also turns-out pretty good.
Star Trek II (Wrath of Khan) started things getting darker: more violence and compromised personalities. Glad to see a more light-hearted series now. I like science-fiction for the bright future it can offer. Dystopian? Not so much...

How do you really feel?

Basically, Trumpers caused WWIII
I want to like Star Trek, but basically its a one world order (or galaxys rather) built right in the main story line, a federation of worlds, so it's kinda like the empire in star wars, only fans are rooting for the wrong team.
As a diehard deplorable, I'm rooting for the klingons and romulans

FYI:
All Star Trek, new, old, inbetween is on Paramount + a streaming service. Not on TV.
Paramount uploads the shows on Wednesday. Don't know when, cuz like we watch it on Thursday along with HALO, Picard which just ended and "New Worlds" just started. Including a cartoon version. Currently doing Voyager, can't wait for the Borg encounter. And species 6874 or whatever it is where you only thought the Borg was bad. They even have the show where Scott Bakula is the capt.
Star Trek has always been woke. What, you don't think interalien sex, and marriage was actually not a thing? I want to ask some people today what planet they are from. One world economy and money system. One planetarium world governance, and military?
The only question is how much you can take, of the in your face wokism.
Just saying.

The more I hear of all these videos the more tiresome it sounds. I'll continue ignoring it.
Oh, that would never happen! (Were there any Ukranian flags showing?)

But feelings are important!
I remember a clip on CNN(? maybe NBC) of a reporter asking a Marine if he felt anything when he saw his target fall down dead.
"Yes Ma'am; recoil."
Sorry -- off topic.
I meant vs the evil empire, err Federation

I saw that. Instant turn-off.
