      This is like saying Kevin Feige writes every single Marvel movie. He heads the general franchise at Paramount, not a show runner/writer/director on any series at this time.

        yeah that's the problem. The general franchise is now just about generic scifi space battles and violence. Newest Picard season is some crazy shit about ICE (like literally American immigration). Also federation is fascist (called the Confederation lmao) and yet another fucking trump story now. They literally wrote a sci-fi show about 21st century America, like how lazy and uncreative are you?

        any of the actual heart of star trek: exploration, discovery, diplomacy; is simply gone now.

          I think this shows that, for certain liberals, Star Trek was always a direct allegory for the United States - rather than an imaginary future. Trump broke their understanding of the United States as 'moral' entity, so the Federation has to be outright evil now.

          Sounds like you've only seen the promos because that stuff is barely part of the season. The show is about exploration of the self, particularly JL and him coming to terms on why he is the way he is.
