Welcome to my free speech rights and social media. "Let" people watch what they want? How the heck am I stopping anyone. All I said was maybe give the franchise a rest to refresh itself and all the wheels came off the cart as far as some people were concerned.

To be fair, the Democrats don't really support America either, they support their own party's interests. They just have a better marketing department. This is why I'm an Independent and don't trust big name politician gurus.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy "300th Night" Review: Stumbling into the Season Finale - TREKNEWS.NET | Your daily dose of Star Trek news and opinion Despite its sky-high stakes and emotional reunion between Caleb and his mother, β€œ300th Night” asks for one too many leaps of faith. From the cadets’ alarmingly easy shuttle theft to the Federation’s s...

I suppose I could be accused of reopening recent wounds, but I came across this review of the most recent episode of #StarfleetAcademy from what I suppose is a fairly neutral source & the reviewer had actual criticisms about the writing. It's ok to point that out. treknews.net/2026/03/05/r...

I have weird dreams. In last night's dream, I was in the public library, and this was in a book I was reading.

Then two strangers on the internet disagree with each other about something. That's hardly unusual.

Progressive and woke aren't the same thing. My substack article outlined in detail how Star Trek specifically and science fiction in general comments on politics, social movements, and so on. By the way, the original definition of "woke" isn't a pejorative and has been around for a while.

Kurtzman accused it of not being Star Trek.

Beats me. He should be since he's the single character most associated with Star Trek.

I don't keep up on these things.

I posted one article. How is that "continuing to criticize?" I really didn't expect this to get so much traction.

I watched the first episode which was free on SFA. I don't subscribe to streaming services so I don't have the ability to assess any of the others. That said, if I choose not to watch a show, why should anyone else care. I'm perfectly fine with you watching and liking it. Why isn't that good enough?
