I watched 24 minutes of "Starfleet Academy" before I turned it off.
I stopped it when the fat Klingon Jem'Hadar lady started verbally abusing the black male kid and the Klingon male kid.
Before that, there was a lot of talk about how people are hungry and have to steal food - in the 32nd century!
At one point, the female lead says, “Separating children from their parents isn’t exceptional. It’s reprehensible.”
To which, the male admiral replies, “These kids are inheriting a broken world they did not create, but have to clean up.”
None of this is Star Trek.
It’s Marxism in a Starfleet uniform.
One hour and 16 minutes of people’s personal problems, trauma, inherited chaos, and despair.
No optimism, no exploration, no bold future—just bleak lectures on systemic failure, class struggle, broken families, and kids forced to fix the mess adults made.
Roddenberry’s utopian vision of unity, progress, and human potential is GONE...
...replaced by oppression, hunger, abuse, violence and “cleaning up” a ruined universe.
FUN FACT: THE TREK UNIVERSE WASNT RUINED WHEN MEN WERE IN CHARGE.
Poverty, hunger, famine, scarcity, money and exploitative capitalism, racism, sexism, discrimination, disease and most illnesses, crime and violence on core worlds, oppression and inequality, environmental destruction, and geopolitical or national conflicts had all been solved in Roddenberry's Star Trek universe.
And that's the awful thing about these FEMALE reboots: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS WORSE.
They either go back to before the beginning (DOCTOR WHO) and posit that women did it first, but they failed and men had to take over...
....or they go forward into a future where women now rule - and everything is horrible.
This isn’t inspiring the next generation.
It’s force-feeding them anxiety, victimhood, and Marxist hopelessness.
Star Trek used to lift us up.
Now it drags us down into the same miserable worldview Hollywood shoves everywhere.
No thanx, I'll just rewatch the original 5 series ad infinitum.
And Paramount can go 🖕 themselves for destroying this once-great series.
