I'm sorry to anyone I gave shit to about the writing or about it being the Michael Burnham Whining Hour. Y'all were right.
Expect a name change soon.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

It's not that it's too woke, woke is a star trek cornerstone. It's because it's "corporation flying rainbow flag" woke. Stamets in particular does nothing but provide empty representation. Representation is great but there needs to be something to it. You can't just sit down and be like "ok, he's gay and neurotic and possibly autistic" and never develop any further than that. Minorities aren't cardboard cutouts who exist to check off a box. They're people.
Yeah, thank you, I think that's a great way to describe it. Do you think season 5 was significantly worse in this regard? Or perhaps I'm just remembering it better since it just came out.
Either way, I totally agree with you. I wasn't able to connect with any of the characters or storylines because they were so hollow and superficial
IMO season 5 was a little better in terms of getting representation right compared to, for instance, season 2. I did not like the strong focus on Michaels self doubts, it just gets old.
