“ To boldly go where no they/them has gone before “ Absolute garbage show.

A perfectly respectable first start for the show, providing a quick insite into the core characters that will reoccure in this show. All interesting and already set appart from each other. Though maybe a bit overly quirky off the bat Predictably much review bombing by the usual group of people who seem to think that old trek was some sort of capitalist propaganda machine and new trek has become a woke communist hellscape. The only real concern I have at the moment is the current trend towards centering an individual rather than a team of characters. I am hopeful that they keep all characters centered rather than just one main character with supporting cast,

Why? Please let Star Trek die.

Engage… if you must. This masterpiece boldly goes where no one with taste has gone before: straight into high-school-drama territory, complete with teen angst, rivalries, and enough interpersonal melodrama to make even Counselor Troi reach for the chamomile. Who needs philosophical debates about the Prime Directive when you can have cadets pining over who gets to sit next to whom in the mess hall? The accents? A glorious United Federation of Babble. We’ve got a bridge crew sounding like a bad Babel fish translation convention. And the casting? Truly living up to the sacred DEI mandate—because nothing says “infinite diversity in infinite combinations” like prioritizing checkboxes over, you know, chemistry or gravitas. Holly Hunter as Chancellor/Captain Nahla Ake (the half-Lanthanite who’s apparently been around since before the Burn but still can’t enunciate like a proper Starfleet officer) delivers her lines with that signature… unique… delivery. It’s less “Space: the final frontier” and more “What was that? Engage the universal translator, I think she just said something about the warp core.” Very difficult to understand what she’s say—er, saying. Almost as if the script was written during a plasma storm. Speaking of the script: it feels like someone fed every rejected CW teen drama into a replicator, hit “ChatGPT, make it sound like Discovery but worse,” and then sprinkled in a few “boldly go” Easter eggs for the nostalgics. The result? Pure dilithium-grade mediocrity. I’ve tried to power through episode 1 four separate times now, and each attempt ended the same way: me slipping into a deeper coma than a Vulcan in a healing trance. Just took a shot of espresso stronger than Romulan ale so I can maybe—maybe—make it to the past the 37-minute mark and limp into episode 2. But let’s be real: the glory days of actual Star Trek—where captains commanded respect, stories explored ideas, and redshirts knew their expendable fate—are long gone, scattered to the cosmic winds like so much debris from the Burn. This show has about as much to do with the original franchise as a tribble has with quantum physics. Live long and… well, good luck with that. Resistance is futile. The academy has already assimilated us all. 🖖

don't believe the naysayers, yes it's got a big teen cast but no it's not a teen drama. people love to complain about anything these days and very little seems to please. all I can say is, give it a chance, it does have this very charming nature almost a playfulness. something that captivates that inner feeling you've been waiting to unleash. Give it a chance and you may just be surprised.
