So I just watched the new Star Trek show the other day. It's on television, not CBS's equivalent of Netflix, so that's cool. The general look and feel is closer to that of JJ Abram's Star Trek than it is the previous series. The political commentary doesn't bother me too much, as Star Trek has always been a liberal show with commentary on modern politics and social attitudes. It made fun of Trump supporters by just having them a bunch of idiotic Klingons, and I kinda like that. I think it's funny. I also think it's funny that people are pissing and moaning because a black woman is in a lead role. Like, who the fuck cares one way or the other?
My biggest problem with it though, is that it doesn't feel like Star Trek. Where is the feeling of exploration, and being isolated in space? This isn't Star Wars, it's Star Trek, TREK damn it! I want them to explore new worlds, not have Antifa vs. Nazis battle it out in space.
So those are my thoughts. What are yours?
