It reminds me of those people that claim The X-Men have gotten "woke" even though that's been the whole point of the comic since the 60's or worse yet those poor souls out there who thought Rage Against the Machine was getting too political lol

Trek on gender: "Don't care, will smash" -- Kirk & Ryker
PS: Memba when Ryker was captured by a pre-First Contact civ and he had to bribe a nurse with an alien kink with sex in order to escape? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Of course I to, I fucking love that episode. I think the Nurse was Lilith from Frasier and the aunt from Jumanji? Questionable consent vibes aside that episode is hilarious and amazing
I remember that being a little more "coercive and rapey" than bribing, since the nurse was the one who demanded "fuck me and I'll set you free, or you can wait for whatever they are going to do to you."
I get Riker is full of fucks to give, but he didn't seem terribly pleased with not having a choice.

My favorite detail of the TNG episode "The Outcast" is that the writers were pushing for an episode that touched on sexuality but Rick Berman wouldn't go for it. So the writers gave a figurative "fuck you" and wrote an episode on gender identity instead.
And while Berman was occupied holding TNG back the DS9 writers had enough freedom to use the Dax symbiote's multiple lifetimes to explore sexuality instead.

If first interracial kiss on TV is Woke then I don't wanna be anything but.
Don't forget The Measure of a Man. We literally watched that in 9th grade American History, as a commentary about slavery.
I don't know about woke but I liked Trek before it got boring and poorly written -_-
True. We don't have masterpieces like "Spock's Brain" anymore. /S
Say what you want about TOS, it's campy and silly but it's not boring.
Even Platos Stepchildren, which everyone remembers for the first interracial kiss, was a pretty fucking terrible episode.
Yes, but that's a reasonable take, so it gets drowned out.
That's fair, the cartoon is apparently not bad, just not my cup of tea.
Lower Decks is my favorite Star Trek since DS9. When it came out though, I was super against it. Didn't think Paramount had any right to be making fun of Star Trek after Discovery season 1. You can tell Lower Decks is made by people that love Star Trek though.
This last season, they did a classic Audience-with-the-Klingon-High-Council episode, and when I saw it, I exclaimed to my fiance, "Yes! I love Klingon bureaucracy episodes!" and then later in the episode, there was almost that exact same line
Strange New Worlds has been finding their feet too. We got a courtroom episode on Augment rights, that really felt Star Trek, and they've had some original stories as well that I've really loved, like Among the Lotus Eaters. There have been a couple episodes I haven't been a fan of, but what Star Trek hasn't had those?
If you're open to it, I recommend giving both shows another chance!

Yeah it's good and agreed that discovery is pure ass so It's definitely a little bit of both
