As someone who desperately wanted to go to Starfleet Academy most of his life: These are not the elite kids I thought would be in it.

“I swallowed my comm badge” is something a toddler would say, not a Starfleet Cadet.

Worth remembering that this is a Star Fleet rebuilding itself from the ashes, not the Star Fleet of old

I get that, but if they’ve got cadets who swallow their comm badges they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel

That's not an opinion you actually hold. You're obviously saying that to generate "hate clicks."

And this is why conservatives bitching about wokeness bother me. I can’t say things I don’t like about the show without it being dismissed as one of them.

I honestly think writers and show runners do it on purpose. They can't write for shit, so they use bait, and when someone takes said bait, they use it to dismiss all criticism.

See Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Wheel of Time, Halo, Velma, Resident Evil et al. Rinse and repeat, over and over.
