    I get not liking Discovery, but do people really think Lower Decks, SNW, Picard are “Woke?”

    Also, obviously, sci-fi is at its best when tackling politics… Isn’t that kinda the point?

      It’s woke because they’re so unhinged that basic human decency is woke now.

      “Woke” has long since lost its original meaning.

      Used to mean something positive and progressive. Then it meant something that tried writing itself off as something progressive, but was simply stupid and entitled (i.e. That Batwoman series), now it’s anything a right winger hates, even if it isn’t trying to be progressive in any way.

      Truth is, with NuTrek, it doesn’t have a single progressive bone in its body, and the writers don’t have the skill to pull off any sort of commentary.
