Pretty much agree with your “feminization” assessment of STNG, and thought Patrick Stewart an odd casting choice and a bit of a pretentious ass...Missed Shatner’s Captain Kirk and Company’s kick ass style of exploration...
Gotta thank him though for running his mouth and saving me 2 lost hours of my life and the ticket price not wasted on this woke tripe...
Actually the new show might explain why a Frenchman speaks with an English accent. Some fans have conjectured a rebirth of the Duchy of Normandy. I suppose Stewart would insist on an English family coming over on the Chunnel and marrying into the Picard family but adopting English as the family language.
