An opinion by an Electronics Engineer and Scifi guy-

The good things: the opening is artistic, the acting is good, the props and special effects are great for a TV series, the camera work is awesome. It's bright, super saturated in color, has action in it.

The bad things: It's entirely PC mush (diversity themes), homo agenda, feminist, demographically represented, all the white men are "toxic," environmentalist crap added, AND BREAKS WITH STAR TREK AND CONTAINS LITTLE TO NO SCIFI.

Unfortunately, the new Star Trek has little to no science fiction. It's a PC situational drama in space. There are the power warrior women, loving and balanced homosexual interracial couples, spores and rare endangered species that power the newest drive and navigation systems... If you're looking for science fiction, you'll find zero.

The original Star Trek is a high bench mark to live up to regards the SciFi. The original Star Trek came out in September 1966 and had such things as touch screens, communicators, tractor beams (at a microscopic level we already have working tractor beams: Optical Tweezers), flat panel displays, tablets, voice activated controls and computers, ear buds where you had a signal going to them like what we have today with Bluetooth, self opening doors with sensors. Remember the doctors tricorder in Star Trek, where they would get all the medical information by just holding the tricorder near you or running a sensor over you? Do we still run a thermometer up the butt or under the arm? Even pulse, how do we get that today?

It is evident that the original Star Trek coordinated/consulted with scientists and engineers that were on the bleeding edge of development at the time, but that CANNOT be said with these demographically correct newer versions of this show where all they come up with is mushroom powered starships that are navigated by endangered species. While today the actors cry much better, and the sets are more elaborate, camera crews and special effects are awesome, only the original Star Trek remains true "science fiction."

Suggestion: Keep the camera crew, keep the artists that did the opening, keep most of the actors, keep the folks that make the props or do the special effects, ***kill off the writers for this show.*** They have managed to literally stuff ever pop culture and PC theme into this show. It feels like plastic, fake, artificial and forced. The show is so chalk full of this crap that it over powers everything else in the show.

It is evident that the new Star Trek coordinated/consulted with social scientists and social engineers that are on the current bleeding edge of "development". I think the bleeding edge is at the cutting point on society's neck.

It is a well known fact that the largest consumers of science fiction are young males.

These shows are not put out to entertain.

They are put out to propagandize.

Watched it last year without paying. Had to watch it because it was Star Trek but was totally disgusted with the politics.

I won’t pay for it

They are pushing a social agenda in this TV show.

I would say that’s activism (Why I selected that). Not sure how you define it?

Season 2 is going to be epic. They’ve hired New writers and the focus of the season will be on Captain Christopher Pike (former captain of the Enterprise before Kirk) and Spock. Pike arrives on the Enterprise and takes command of Discovery on a season long mission.

If they think I’m actually going to pay for SJW drippins they are as insane as the worse than worthless writers.

And yet, every once in a while, an anachronism would be thrown in. I remember one scene inwhat was probably an engineering section, where there was a fight, and sitting all by itself in that pristine, uncluttered, futuristic room was a 20th century style monkey wrench, that was exploited as a weapon.

I looked it up. It was an adjustable wrench, not a monkey wrench, and it was used in the episode called “Miri”.
