Discovery lacked much needed love for the franchise, with lot of nonsensical, lore breaking episodes. The same is true for Picard sadly. But I am finding STSA boasting some of the best episodes for a Star Trek season 1 series so far. Star Trek was always woke, and that is why it was so loved. STSA is no more woke than Voyager was. I see lot of respect from the writers to the previous series. STSA makes me think of TNG much more often than any other nutrek series (except lower deck, but that is nearly fanservice). Being into the future you have a lot of flexibility to do something new, and I like that a lot. Nahla Ake is a different character than Picard or Janeway, and that is fine. A great character nonetheless in my opinion.
only because of KURTZMAN was controlling nutrek, thats why conservatives called it woke, its not so much of its being "already inclusive" but to add nothing to writing or plots is bad for the show. DISC, picard are pretty bad shows, SNW needed better acting and writing.(i think the premise is fine)
I haven't watched STSF yet but yeah there's ton of stuff in Trek that would quality as "woke" right back to ToS, as well as a bunch of stuff that "broke" from an intellectual level.
I think my biggest issue with Picard is the latter... with the "fireworks in space" celebration (complete with sound of course) just making me want to bury my head in my hands.
It's never been perfect, but it's still entertaining.
