Legit facts? Who's claiming that? We understand this is an opinion piece. It's just really sad that an opinion piece like this is published in mainstream media, let alone anywhere.

It's tantamount to hate-speech.

Discovery is very much Star Trek. It has a lot of problems bit not being star Trek? What? That's not one of them.

Tell me - get rid of the symbols, change the race names and imagery, and of what remains do you think screams 'Star Trek?'

Bunham is kind of a Mary-Sue but mostly her personality is really unlikable.

The fact that this article was allowed ANYWHERE on NBC's domain is DISGUSTING.

The articles author and her Anti-White male SJW rhetoric is oozing out of her writing.

She's not a real Star Trek fan, just somebody who is hating on "White-Males".

She doesn't understand what makes the Star Trek Community works.

The Star Trek fandom has been "Progressive" long before she was born.

CBS is using the nostalgic reboot to placate the (white, male) demographic that felt alienated by the networks first Trekkie reboot Discovery, a show which was legitimately diverse and therefore immediately controversial.

Huh? Star Trek has been legitimately diverse since the very beginning.

Yeah you nailed it on the head. Star Trek did a lot of first on TV, and The Next Generation alone had a ton of very forward thinking progressive views that we're only really starting to find acceptable. Star Trek is about being ahead of time society-wise. To ever blame it for anything discriminatory is insulting

A we know is Patrick Stewart is reprising the role of Picard. We don't know how large his role is, what the show will be about or any of the details for the show. Making the claim that it was done to please close minded bigots is dumb. That probably didn't cross CBS's mind. Discovery was a success to them and they want more Star Trek shows.

Now I liked Discovery. I understand why people hated it, and I see those flaws. I actually feel it was one of the better first seasons for a Trek series, second only to DS9. I did like some of the characters like Saru, Tilly, and Stamets. Yeah Burnham who is the main character sucks and she had too much of the focus.

While I didn't like the war plot that much it did keep me interested. Season two's main plot looks much better. Season two as a whole looks much better.

Your right it wouldn't be. But neither would any of the shows if you removed that stuff. You are saying take away what makes it star trek and it's not star trek.

If you took away the symbols, changed the race names and imagery and Deep Space nine would be Babylon Five and not Star Trek.

Hehehehe.

I can come up with a plot reason to hand-wave the Klingons as a different Ethnicity of the Klingon Species.

Even that wouldn't be that bad.

But Burnham and her Mary Sue-ness.

I disagree - like, I see where the impression comes from, and I think she is SUPPOSED to be, but...

She fails. Like, all the time. And hard.

Tully and whoever the fuck that science officer she hates for no good reason is have to fix her shit every other episode.

Your right it wouldn't be. But neither would any of the later shows if you removed that stuff. You are saying take away what makes it star trek and it's not star trek.

I agree with you - the only post-TNG show that felt Trek to me was Voyager, and that's admittedly a huge stretch.

She succeeds more often than she fails, and gets proven correct in the very end.

Does it matter that she's right with that kind of body count? A body count brought on by a battle she started for no good reason?

For her fans, her being "RIGHT" in the end is all that matters.

The body count is literally ignored and hand waived.

TNG dealt with transgenderism and AI rights.

It was very progressive.

known for his calm equilibrium and wisdom, is a sharp U-turn from Discovery, which stars a diverse crew focusing on a young woman of color, played by Sonequa Martin-Green.

So is she not calm and wise? Why would I care about a captain doesn't have those traits?

The author obviously hasn't even watched the entire first season of Discovery given the way she writes.

She doesn't know much about the character other than it's Female, Black, played by Sonequa Martin-Green.

But the main character was a WHITE MAN.

Meanwhile, Discovery's main character is a BLACK TRANS MAN.
