Yeah Bender…ST Discovery was just an incredible leftistfest. I was able to watch the season without paying somehow? (I would not…could not…give that CBS cable network a dime) I did watch and regretted it but felt it was my duty as a ST fan to give it at least 1 season. Beside the Marxist-queer-racebaiting there was the whole texture of the cinematography that was just wrong…the science was just wrong…the Klingons were WAY-wrong.(how could these animals be a spacefaring race? And you could see where their eyes and nostrils terminated And makeup started).
Hopefully CBS’s attempt at cable networking has failed and they lose their shirts on it.
Agree with you on "Star Trek: Discovery" being a total waste of time and effort but it appears that there will be a second season and I am sad to report that "Hell on Wheels" actor Anson Mount has been set to play Captain Christopher Pike of the U.S.S. Enterprise. I have always liked Anson as an actor and his having said he was proud to have his great-great-great grandfather a Confederate cavalry colonel in the Civil War, I felt he may have a conservative outlook politically.
So, that remains to be seen but I do so wish they would have taken the route of making a prequel "Star Trek" series that accurately reflected 10 year before Kirk and Spock instead of that manure pile that they did served up.
Hell, even a lefty like Seth MacFarlane can get it "Star Trek" right with "The Orville" being more "Star Trek" that any of the current CBS fare.
