excluded humor, excluded science,

I seem to remember the first instance of “fuck” in star trek being a humorous scene about science.

promoted how progressive the future would be.

Like every other star trek?

I’m not a huge Disco fan. I think it doesn’t stand up and is way too focused on how everyone feels, but complaining about “oh no! SJWs!” Is just a roundabout way of saying you are racist/sexist. I think there are some good ideas in Disco but moving away from the episodic formula hurt the show. SNW does much of the same stuff as Disco, but is plot driven not character driven, which is fundamental difference between Disco and other Trek. Picard went the same way as Disco and suffered for it.

I hope that the success of SNW and LD help them realize what parts of the formula work and what doesn’t.
