    Anyone who tries to say Lower Decks wasn’t respectful of the heart of Trek, just was not paying attention at all.

      Yeah. This article reads like an April Fools Day piece.

      ‘The best part of Game of Thrones, all fans agree, was the stellar ending which perfectly concluded the show by showcasing the characters’ consistent ideologies and habits’,

      ‘The Simpsons is a show that has managed to somehow get better with every single passing season. And in doing so, its cultural relevancy is as sharp and defining as it has ever been.’

      ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks has ultimately proven unpopular because of its unconventional choice to depict adventuring through the stars as a morose and dreary affair. The dour, rule-abiding protagonist Mariner’s recurring catch phrase ‘I do not model courage and loyalty to my friends and ideals,’ was a perplexing thing for her to shout at a minimum of 6 times in each episode, unprompted.’

      I think a lot of people assume they know what classic trek is about without even watching it. Hence the surprise when they realize that it’s “woke”.
