Everyone on star trek has anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd and imposter syndrome now. It is too much!
Barclay was OK. (In TNG.) He had his episodes but they were interesting because of the juxtaposition against the others.
Like >60% of plot & characters are now about anxiety and mental (un)health. It is individuated vs collective.
I also deeply resent the attempt to create equivalency between AI and LGBT people.
No wonder people hate woke.
Easy to forget that the season as a whole was bad because of just how good it landed the start and finish. Emissary is good, Duet is excellent, In the Hand of the Prophets was good. As a whole it’s definitely better than season 1 of TNG or VOY and these individiual episodes are better than anything nutrek ever produced,
