Star Fag?

[Lazamataz]

Great. Another show to miss.

So, what are we supposed to ne ‘progressing to’? I ask that frequently of ‘progressives’.

Never get a good answer.

[sten]

then it will wither and die like everything else touched by progressives

[rawcatslyentist]

So which direction do the slimes face 5x a day?

[greeneyes]

What “progressive” audience? I didn’t find the original series to be all that progressive. Spock was the only reason I liked it.

“Where no one has gone before”

Yeah that sure is going back to it’s roots. I enjoyed the original series but even back then the episodes which pushed liberal social ideas were the real stinkers.

I sometimes watch the one with Capt. Picard then all of a sudden they show this hideous Black woman wearing a ridiculous hat and I just turn it off.

[Robwin]

Star Trek has always been “progressive” since its inception. The only thing different today is the boundaries of what is acceptable, especially sexually, have expanded.

[clearcarbon]

Isn’t forcing a country to accept unlimited immigration a violation of the “Prime Directive?”

[Pox]

The left always, ALWAYS, ruins all television programming with their psychotic urge to spread their ideology.

The Original Series was very “conservative” from a relative viewpoint. A few story lines that were “unconventional” has led the left to believe that this series must, MUST, be used to “shape our minds” to follow their beliefs.

As much as I enjoyed the previous iterations, I now have little desire to follow this garbage.

[Lysandru]

There's no getting around the fact that Gene Roddenberry was a Liberal--but he was somewhat sane about it. Lots of stories from the original series spoke to the necessity sometimes of going to war-- or even waging a Cold War.

But Star Trek has always been generally left-of-center. I read a great article several years ago about how the Serenity/ Firefly franchise was actually Libertarian (and I agree).

I think the most right-wing sci-fi show in recent years was Space Above and Beyond .

[dynachrome]

“Broke Back Enterprise”? Kirk and Spock get it on?

[VeniVidiVici]

The 'new' Star Trek'. Going where no man has gone before

[Wilhelm Tell]

I think I won’t watch a minute of that. And if I think of it I will root for the Romulans.

[LostInBayport]

Caitlyn Jenner as Captain Kirk. Calling it now.

First storyline: The crew discovers Captain Caitlyn has a Klingon.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

If that means the new Star Trek will start being more realistic about human nature, something that Roddenberry resisted strenuously, that’s a good thing. If it means that the new Star Trek will be a boring platform for left-wing evangelizing, I’ll pass.

Our always promoted Marxism.

“I think the progressive audience that loves Star Trek will be happy that we’re continuing that tradition,” Fuller said to Collider.

I saw this on another site and it was an answer to the question of whether the new Trek would have homos. Fuller is, himself, a homo, and the vocal Trek SWJs have been demanding a gay male, so I never doubted it. It’s set in the pre-Abrams universe, so it’s a shame, but I’ll have nothing to do with it.

[TigerLikesRooster]

I see a vision of Trump-like arch-villain and transgender figure on the main deck next to a captain. We will see this figure having casual conversation in woman's bathroom.

[SoFloFreeper]

uh huh. well, looks like the franchise is truly dead then.

good riddance.
