Honestly probably I good idea. I actually like the show even though it has some flaws, but they really did a speedrun on developing through all the characters biggest conflicts. They just don't have much more they can do.

    They could hire actual writers not pushing THE AGENDA.

    Which agenda is it they're pushing this time? Inclusivity? Diversity? Permission to pee in the streets?

    While I'll be the first to admit that DISCO and Academy was not for me, it's more due to it departing from the format and world I enjoyed than anything else. Star Trek has always pushed the envelope when it comes to equality and representation, that's not new.

    The way they are doing it is uninspired, boring, and often cringe.

    That's not "the agenda" though, that's shitty writing, pacing, and presentation. On that I could, at least in some part, be inclined to agree with you.

    It's not the subject matter that's shit, it's how they often approach it. I find it's important to have a clear distinction between the two. It's hard to critique a poorly made story when it seems like what you're objecting to is inclusivity and diversity.

    If that happens, people are usually quickly reduced to shouting insults, especially online. It's infuriating to those who feel seen and included, potentially for the first time.
