How much do you want to bet the Chief Engineer will also be female (or Non-Binary or any gender other than a cisgender male)?

She is a female. In the form of Carol Kane, a 70 year old actress.

Best know for her role on Taxi, she played Andy Kaufman’s wife.

I'm still ready to see the old crew one more time and have fun with it. Bunch of jaded oldsters, the lot of you. ;)

All the reviews I'm seeing have been positive so far. But that was the case for season two, that fell off a cliff after episode 1.
Going in with low expectations for sure, but am willing to be surprised.
 

This is all fine and dandy, but I don't care. It's all fruit of the poisonous tree.

I won't come crawling back after nearly 14 years of being told that the real STAR TREK no longer matters, nor wave after wave of insults and hostility from the people who actively killed it.

Even if by some miracle this is actually not awful, it's already too late. Maybe--MAYBE--good word of mouth will cause a small percentage of jaded fans to come back and give it a try, but that will surely be a tiny minority compared to the droves who have abandoned ship over the past 14 years.

STAR TREK has moved out of the cultural zeitgeist. It is no longer relevant or widely popular. A barrage of low-quality shows on a mediocre streaming service is not a measure of success.

I think McCoy said it the best:


And for some odd reason, I think this video fits rather well in this part of the discussion:

They may as well bury Trek after this. And while they are at it, any other franchise, since they will ruin those too. Then we get rid of televisions, cars, industry, food processing (all for the sake of "green"), and let everything crumble into dust as we all pay reparations for offending everyone and everything under the sun.

At that point, we just stop all civilization in the name of woke. No one is allowed to disagree with anything, all of us must become vegans and run around in grass skirts, eating whatever grass we can find and letting wild animals devour us.

Our end as a race: sitting around a pile of rocks with glum faces, never allowed to disagree, have an opinion or even breathe heavy lest the shrill cry of "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" be uttered by the woke ones. Our days end as we sit miserable, all for the sake of not triggering anyone.

Then the sun devours the Earth in its' red giant phase, burns out to a black dwarf, and the universe turns into a sea of loosely-spaced, ever expanding photons, and entropy dominates all.

Darkness forever.

And of course, the one lone voice echoing humanity's last salient thought, drifting throughout space for all time:

"I ordered a latte and THIS is an Americano!! MAKE ME A NEW ONE!!!"

Thus ends the universe: not in a bang or a whimper, but in whining.

Enjoy your evening folks... I'm going to sit in my bedroom, curtains drawn and no lights,

Sounds like Season Two all over again?

Quite possibly. I watched 1 ep of Picard series 1 after that first trailer gave me 2% hope that Star Trek was back on course after the JJ films and 1 terrible ep of Disco that I could barely make it through. How wrong I was, that was enough to never touch Trek under Kurtzman again.
Even Dave Cullen has said, among his predominantely positive review, the sets are still dark and there's still a bit of unnecessary swearing. Not that I'm against profanity, I just don't think contemporary dialogue and swearing works in Star Trek.
If people get enjoyment from what I've heard series 3 of Picard described as the "greatest hits" then that's great, enjoy every minute. I just don't want to go there.

A man dying of thirst in the desert will drink…eh….

Bear Grylls, what say you to finish this analogy?
