I haven't seen STA yet, but it seems like, with a few exceptions, the most recent Star Trek has always been controversial, since The Next Generation. I feel like Enterprise deserved it the most, and SNW escaped most of it. Discovery probably got it the worst? Though TNG was by far the least deserving of it.
Which I find kinda surprising, since I would call SNW fairly "woke" if you actually pay attention to the show. Maybe it's just because it's a male captain set in the TOS era, and it's a more traditional trek show?
SNW is a good balance. Discovery on the other hand, was way too emotional for me. Where is STSA on the crying-every-other-scene scale?
I found Discovery the same way, it's the only trek series I couldn't make it through.
Picard suffered from bad writing unfortunately. Season 3 cashed in on nostalgia and I appreciate it for that, but the first 2 seasons were very meh.
Starfleet academy is great though, IF you're ok with a show targeted to young adults. If you're not ok with that, the episodes will be very hit and miss. The most recent episode was fantastic, once you get through the 3 minute long sex scene it opened with. Even that does serve a purpose though to show the bond that's developed between two chars.
Oh, I don't talk about Picard. Too much WTF.
STA is another "SGU-like" i only see it will end quickly.
Yeah you're wrong. I could barely make it through a few episodes of SGU, but STA is much better.
S2 of SGU was great
It had its moments
