If these writers and directors had any courage they would call up Donald Trump and have him play himself.
He'd do it, too.

Oh, and stupid couple shit between Seven and druggie lesbian, I’m sure that will be a large part of the season.

Let's roll some dice to pick episodes of TNG and DS9 to watch instead.
I briefly dated a woman that was interested in watching Star Trek. And I said to her that this is great, there are so many episodes to watch in each season. And she got all upset over work standards in TV production and how they treat actors cruelly by filming too many episodes. We didn't end up watching Star Trek together. I still watched it though.

Goddamn you were not kidding. That's hilarious.
Should have asked her if she wanted to stroke your tribbles if you catch what I mean.

If there's a topic on which I can't take Whoopi seriously, it's politics.
I don't much want a lecture on ethics from her, either.
I think she has insight to offer on talking to ghosts or playing a nun. She's done very well on those.

It's worse than that (it's dead, Jim)
Here's the thing: nerds love science and technology. That's why they're nerds. They're the awkward, shy kids who were in the ham radio club and chess club at school, did well in math and physics, probably know how to use a soldering iron, definitely know how to fix your computer, and asked annoying questions about how deflector dishes work because those kind of details are important to nerds. Probably not too busy dating, amirite?
Science fiction was for nerds. Was.
Until about 2007 or so, suddenly you have "geek chic". Nerds thought they were popular all of a sudden. But hold on there, Poindexter, and Danger, Will Robinson! Geek chic is just a marketing ploy and a pivot. A way of repackaging and selling product to the kind of people who decidedly don't love science, they Fucking Love Science™ (the Facebook page). They love wearing Star Wars t shirts and quirky glasses, following Bill Nye on Twitter, and most of all - being thought of as smart. They don't have a clue about magnetars, momentum, the metric expansion of space, or any of that boring stuff, and they don't care. It's all a larp.
So Star Track is now "sci fi" made by people who don't like sci fi, aimed at people who think they like sci fi but actually prefer emotionally retarded Mary Sue drama with shiny CGI effects.
There's no science in it. Sciencey-sounding words aren't the same thing, when the concepts they're describing are completely arbitrary and fundamentally retarded (being able to see a planet in the sky from another solar system, faster than light travel via fungus
). It's become Dr Who, another show aimed at autism and/or gender spectrum Tumblrettes who like to imagine they're nerds but have no real interest in science and technology.TNG had a big problem with technobabble, but it was usually technobabble trying to bring real scientific ideas into the show, however poorly executed for plot reasons or writer misunderstanding reasons (tachyons are a real scientific concept, inertial dampeners are based on the real problem of inertia and chunky salsa, positronic brains are dumb but positrons are real, etc.) The show was set in a fantastic universe where people apparently break the laws of physics on a regular basis, but there was a genuine nerdy love and awe for sci-tech that showed through in the writing, and the internal consistency of how things work in that setting.
Not any more. It's Mass Effect: Andromeda (also IN SPAAACE!). There's less appreciation for science than there is in early 20th century pulp novels that speculated about fighting Martians with swords and radium guns. It's not really science fiction at all, it's dramatic fiction that just happens to have sciencey backdrops. But that doesn't matter, because the new audience doesn't care about how phasers work, they care about romance options, YASS KWEEN moments and shipping.

Last time Star Trek traveled back to 2024, it was in San Francisco being a shithole in DS9.
Even the future of ST
is basically just as bad as ours because Leftist writers don't actually believe in their own utopia

And it’s already been shown STD and Picard have been ripping off Mass Effect.

DS9's prediction of San Francisco in the 2020s was too bright and optimistic.

You're right, they were too optimistic.

I remember him from r.a.s.reviews. It's weird that someone's still doing written reviews. Tim Lynch and Cynic's Corner gave up long ago.
Professor Tosspot made some Star Trek comments in his long-delayed review of 2020. He doesn't like Nu-Trek.

Like the only consoomer that watch prodigy was really surprised about this episode
Im kinda liking this and it worry me
Without entering to much into the plot the episode is called Kobayashi where as you guessed it the main protagonist tackle the infamous Kobayashi Maru, he gets to pick his crew first choice the system give him is Kirk but he decided against it because he is supposed to be the captain so you get, all of them talk with archival footage (except Beverly i think) because there is no money for more
He got
Uhura
Beverly Crusher
Odo
Spock
And Scotty
The first thing he ask if that if someone know people in the kobayashi then vote to abandon them to their fate, everyone protest then he get wrecked by the program then he try more than 70 times until he get tired of it and decide to another approach, he open all frequencies and start blasting Thunderstruck by AC/DC, this confuse the Klingons and make them decloak, then he overload the Warp drive to 130% and eject it to make it explode to kill all of them, the kobayashi somehow survive but another cruiser appear, because this one came decloaked he managed to teleport inside of the cruiser and he and Spock neutralize all of them, sadly because this is the kobayashi maru he accidentally press the trigger on the cruiser and blow the kobayashi maru making him fail, Spock tell him the same speech about leading he gave to Kirk and he notice that he need his crew to actually be a captain, he ask the computer if there was a way to beat the test and the computer says that there is none but he is amused that he almost got it (and a matter of fact he ALMOST won one of the very very VERY few that did not cheat or use weird klingon rules for it)
To close the episode and dump the final piece of fanservice they unlock the memory core of Virtual Janeway and discover that the first captain of the Protostar was Chakotay thing that heavily surprise Janeway

I suppose if you do something 70 times and then just do the most unpredictable shit possible at ever turn, you could probably win eventually just because the program doesn’t know how to respond.
