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.


they hated the middle star wars sequel too, for wrong reasons. reactionaries not liking something because they’re illiterate bigots doesn’t mean the thing they don’t like is good quality.
it does mean there’s a backlash to the backlash and you have to walk on eggshells to critique whatever they’re hating today because people will jump down your throat even if you only talk about whether the plot makes any damn sense.
To me it means they’re probably doing something right and get the benefit of the doubt. Worth noting that nutrek is a lot more “woke” than golden age if that’s the standard.
“kill your gays” isn’t woke
Forgot about that in the first season but they brought him back pretty quickly. I don’t know how much of that was pressure and how much it was planned but they didn’t seem to plan much despite being serialized. Definitely not as bad as Code of Honor though.
yeah code of honor is egregious. at least those actors got paid i guess.
