Body positivity and I just thought Fiz from Coronation Street had caught the wrong bus and ended up in the future

I think some people aren't seeing the problem. The problem isn't that a POC is the main character. No one actually cares about that. And if they do they are dumb as fuck. The problem is this isn't a Star Trek show. It's fucking Star Wars with Trek elements. The spore thing is just the fucking force and you know damn well that show isn't above spore force ghosts. The writers of STD have admitted they don't like Star Trek. They want to change the once idealistic, hopeful Trek of the past into Emotions in Space with a bunch of shitty space battles. STD doesn't make you hope for a better future or long to go where no man has gone before. Because it's not about how diplomacy and compassion can be the deadliest weapons of them all (WHICH IS WHAT STAR TREK IS FUCKING ABOUT) it's about how Micheal Burnham is destined to save us all with her bold and brave sacrifice as the Space Jesus Red Angel. Ffs

I had far more fun watching this witty and sarcastic video than I did watching season 3 of STD. Thanks for turning something as boring and poorly written as Discovery into an 8 minute entertaining video, not an easy thing to do.

Its Star Trek Drinker but not as we know it.

The gift that keeps on giving? I’d rather have store credit

Its not the diversity that bugs me. Its the forceful and obvious LGBT agenda. Right off the bat the stamez and doctor thingy. And in season3 the adira and trill thing. Maybe in season 7 theyll intro a MAP couple. Everbodys got to have representation right?

I am a girl and I thought the way that they handled female characters was pretty good.Can someone give me a good reason on why the don’t like that?

I don’t understand the problem with the diversity.At least to me it doesn’t feel forced AT ALL.It’s not a “woke” show.Michael has never complain about “how hard it is to be a woman of colour in the fleet” and no one has ever said “women are better than man”.The characters just happen to be female or happen to have different ethnicity.I feels natural and it if makes you feel uncomfortable that it’s a you problem 😐 I mean there have been movies were there is only 1 female and all she does is show her ass and basically say she is “cool and not like other girls” and you guys didn’t seem to have an issue then.As a girl it’s refreshing to see a female lead that doesn’t complain all the time and acts better than guys.But I guess you guys don’t like that either,I guess you just don’t like women and POC 😃

Don't worry, he's writing Clarice AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Series 1 and 2 were passable, in some ways enjoyable in my opinion but I must admit towards the end of series 2 I started to lose interest and I haven’t carried on past episode 4 of series 3

Gene: Look how they massacred my show...

Who is actually enjoying this show sober!? Anyways how about that orville 👍

Why are all the Klingons' faces so smooth?

I was horribly scarred by the CBS STD. PTSD 'n shit. 🤑

0:15 this happens with every rebooted series Dragon Ball, Avatar, Star Wars, the list goes on.

Some of the worst TV I've ever seen. Honestly. Star wars and trek are dead. Its just liberal sjw crap. It should all be dragged into the street and put against a wall. Just like socialists. Lawlz.

that was hilarious - thank you!!! loved it!!!!

Two words that will help you understand why Star Trek Discovery still exists: "loss leader."

I beg to differ on the female space jesus - I ended up concluding that the casting for Michael Burnham was *brilliant* and she was a *thoroughly* compelling character. Now, that Ash Tyler should have been killed off about 15 minutes after they escaped from the Klingon gulag, because he became COMPLETELY annoying, obstructive, and disgusting. Like an antibiotic-resistant strain of the clap, there appeared to be no getting rid of that a-hole. And I could TOTALLY have missed out on the weird alien three-ways with that Klingon lady L'rell or whatever - just *eeewwwwwwww*. Never *WANTED*, never *CARED*, they could have ALL been killed off and I wouldn't have minded a bit. Great characters: the spore drive guy (Stametz?), Tilley (against all expectations), the brilliant Supreme Queen What's-her-nose with the epic eyelids, and the new Captain Pike was truly impressive. Also, notice how the Terran Georgiou, despite being evil through and through, ends up on the side of the angels? That was masterful. Can't sign off without a tip o' the hat to Saru, though...

The Expanse is the new Star Trek! Trek died with Enterprise!

Horrible show! I would not let the writers type out my homework!

It's as if someone came up with a great idea for a show and handed it over to a bunch of woke adults that never got past the age of twelve.

To be fair, Star Trek was always about "diversity, diversity, diversity" And was always rather progressive.. The trouble though is, they went off the deep end with it, like the far-left party it's catering to.

Weirdly put. Im much more ok them doing shitshow in the future, than rewriting the past and dishonouring that proud spandex unicolour uniform, than that pathetic spandex springly colourful attire.

I owe Voyager a personal apology for being so hard on it, over the years. Things sure could always get worse.

Creator Rene was making fair diverse show... now we see diversity for sake of it. And of course. Only white guy is gay. Or maybe idiot or both?

The worst thing about this and Picard is how it deconstructs our beloved past heroes and renders them weak, mean, and small. It's heartbreaking. Why don't the likes of Kurtzman stop 're-imagining' past classics and create something new? Because they haven't got the ability, drive, or passion.

Question: Isn't making more diversity genocidal? I mean, removing a large portion of society in favor of having more of another group seems pretty awful. Also, if being part of the majority is a bad, evil thing, then shouldn't Hollywood purge themselves of the woke majority?

Star Trek was always a "diverse" show, and STD expanded on that. So, I'm not sure what the fuss is about.

I don't come across your videos all the time, but when I do, I always think "ah, the guy who sounds like he's gritting his teeth the entire time"

Cancer culture has ruined EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING!!!!!

I actually tried to give discovery a chance and even when it shit on my childhood I still persevered, until I just couldn't anymore. It hurt my heart too much, there were good parts but it's the equivalent of peanuts in a turd.

Subscribed this channel for discount Idris Elba, LOL.

it is the slithering, nefarious work of alex kurtzman.

Discount Idris Elba 10/10 Star trek: the woke generation

Why and how does all the dilithium explode. Don't know.

I didn't think there could ever be anything worse than having to sit thru Charlie's Angels (2019) or Ghostbusters (2016)...but this frolicking POS of a series makes those epic failures look like Oscar contenders. Maybe they could sonehow do a crossover with Batwoman (believable and talented writing is obviously no barrier for these folks) where diverse female space jesus meets diverse lesbian omnipotent super hero. Imagine the boxes we could check with that one. I think I smell an Oscar...or is that just bad Tuna?

Michael Burnham is an awful character. She literally makes me feel sick and vomit. Rey Palpatine was lame, but Michael Burnham is on a whole new level...

The camera shake drives me crazy. It's like they tried to make it into a CBS cop show. (The ones the cater to dumb people)

Discovery is bad Fan fiction with a budget. I

Alex Kurtzmann has already admitted on camera that this show is first a political platform.

I watched this more than once... i really cannot stop laughing and ... crying

Discovery has been a bloated, botched abortion from day one! Fuck, how the mighty have fallen....

I wonder how their parents feel, imagine your child taking part in ruining your favourite franchise.

What’s wrong with u sad sad people. If you don’t like it just don’t watch it. This is pathetic and childish, grow up

FIrst: Don't think of it as "Star Trek"-Discovery, think of it as "generic science fiction TV show"-Discovery. It really doesn't have anything to do with the Star Trek franchise other than stealing some ship and minor character names from the original. Second: It's amusing how each season seems like a reboot of the show, having little to no connection with the previous season beyond having a few of the same actors wearing the same costumes. Main plotlines and characters from one season are either killed off or tossed out the airlock to make room for the next season. Season one was all about some war with the Klingons and some guy who is possessed by a Klingon spirit that has some kind of romance with the diverse space Jesus. (?? at least that's what I think was going on, it's usually so convoluted that it's hard to tell...). Season two was the JJ Abrams-style reboot where everything is just an amalgamation of all the cliches of the original series (with the Enterprise and Captain Pike!). Season three was a jump 900 years into the future so diverse space Jesus could save the Federation and the plucky comic relief ensign from the first series becoming a battle-hardened starship commander. (WTF???) How does this show keep getting renewed?

the show is just pandering to people, there are some gems that show the old star trek but not enough to justify the agenda pushing feminist bullshit.

I'm sorry, but Martin-Green was brilliantly in some of these episodes. Yeah, this show is flawed, but it has its moments.

..Naomi Nagata at home

Maybe they should have named it star trek diversity instead. It might have been better received if they did.

The fat ginger running like you'd imagine a fat five year old to run and expecting us to believe she is a reputable commander just about summarized this show.

Space Jesus ha ha ha .. You forgot AI diversityyyyyyyyy ha ha love ya shit dood....

This looks so terrible it literally makes me sad. My day is ruined. Fuck off film.

I was enjoying the first season, right up to the end where it fell off a cliff. Haven't watched it since.

It sucks!!!!

This is what happens when a beloved franchise ends up in the wrong hands.

"Discount Idris Elba" LOL. This is exactly what I thought when I saw him

Blacks and acting.. erm no.

I thought season one was okay. The biggest complaint I remember reading about is how they changed the look of The Klingons... my answer, look at ToS, and then TNG... it is okay to change the look. Season 2 of Discovery was a bit ridiculous. Season 3 is absolute trash.

In one of the last episodes of season 3, Saru has a nauseating emotional scene with some bastard. Saru says something like “We grow through change”. It was uncomfortable to watch. It made me go back and watch TNG, etc.

What military force would have an obese (space) soldier? Tilly would have failed and left during physical training at the academy.

With a future like this one, who wants to wait. Talk about taking something of value and destroying it.

Damn I wanted to like this

Only discovered (hahahahhaaa) the critical drinker..a few hours ago..haven't laughed this hard in a while.."Diverse female, Space Jesus, & Discount Idris Elba"😀😀

The worst part of this video (for me) was seeing that Michelle Yeoh is in this show.

Creators on audience score: You dont like it? Good. Let us make more!

I actually watched the original show, next gen, and started in on deep space 9 on net flix. Then I watched a couple episodes of discovery and a couple picard. Needless to say the ended my star trek binge and my love for that franchise was obliterated forever.

Dude do you have any videos where you like what you're reviewing?

I LOVE grouchy female engineer... Tig is awesome!

not enough black people

RIP Star Trek.

Discovery: Where White Boys need not apply, except the homosexual ones.

DIVERSITY!!!! YEYYYYY!!!!

Diverse female space Jesus and Discount Idris Elba😄🤭🤣

the show is dog shit from the start

Yea the whole swearing and cussing just doesnt feel right in a star trek movie/show. I don't mind it usually, but here it's just off.

I have seen exactly two episodes. I have no desire to see any more.

Diverse because old Trek clearly wasn't :headdesk: Am I ever so glad that I opted out of watching this shit after two episodes.

This series gives me sad GOT vibes

Star Trek ENDED for me with the last episodes of DS9 and VOY. PERIOD. 🖖🏻

When social justice and feminism join to form terrorism. What a way to ruin star trek and Roddenberys legacy

Well ah... I guess it's back to watching Next Generation.

Thank you for saving me!

Thanks for the line "diverse female space Jesus".

The diversity itself isn't the problem -- well, if you ignore the tokenism behind it, of course. The biggest problem is the really bad writing, and the almost complete (and did I say "bad"? I meant "awful") rewriting of the canon. I hate the new Klingons. And also, for being such formidable foes, the way season one dealt with defusing them was completely ridiculous. It was all building up to a big confrontation, but no, it fizzled away like a dud firecracker. "Wonderful" in its cringe value. I have not been able to muster the courage to watch the next two seasons.

First season wasn't bad. I actually kind of liked it. There were a few good ideas. If they only had removed 3/4 of the crew it would be an amazing show. After season one it went downhill.

Diverse female space jesus... I couldn't help laughing every time I heard it.

ive never seen this garbage but im sure the Main strong female protagonist is also bisexual and is against misoginy and patriarchy XD

Eh? Really that big of a problem when the diversity and representation was organic and not drummed up in the story? Really can't look past that? Discovery earns whatever praise it gets. I guess not everyone logs-in to tomato for that audience score to be representational of reality. From the Vulcan episode alone, they manage to thrill without any action in the episode, just dialogue.

Hollywood's idea of diversity is African American, female and asian. Native American, Scandinavian, Persian, Siberian, Mongolian, south east asian, Indian, Arab, Polynesian & etc basically don't exist. When was the last time you saw a non-American Star Trek main character? If Gene Roddenberry was alive he'd make one of the main Characters Iranian like he casted Chekhov in the middle of the cold war.

I forced myself to watch a few episodes season one its so woke it's stupid and I heard it gets much much much much worse bit what do you expect it is Hollywood wokewood

Who is watching this pile of crap to warrant a fourth season?

You didn't like Picard either. Are you even a Trekkie? Or just some drunk guy ranting because there isnt enough explosions?

Occurred to me that part of the reason why I enjoyed Season 1 and Season 2, Burnham was balanced by some reasonably strong male characters: Lorca, Ash Tyler and Captain Pike who were able to challenge her. I liked Book initially, but after a while realized that he although he has some good moments and advances the plot, eventually he only exists to show how capable Burnham is. Sadly, calling Burnham a "Jesus" character is appropriate because not only did she save the galaxy, it was clear that she was predestined to do so - while Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Picard and co, Janeway and Scott Bakula saved the galaxy too, they never seemed like messianic characters, because the writers were clever enough to avoid falling into that trap - sadl, here it seems to be done on purpose. I'm pretty much done with Discovery, might watch 1 or 2 episodes of season 4, but if it's like season 3, that'll be it.

Perfectly stated

Greatest. Review. EVER!

I thoroughly agree with this critique, but he didn’t mention my favorite “innovation”: the ingenious idea of powering a starship on a psychedelic, intergalactic Gordian knot of magic mushrooms! WTF!!!

Oh Alex Kurtzman. Everything he touches he destroys.

The ironic thing I got from watching this video (loved it by the way) is that the intro ad thing before it started was for Star Trek Picard! Drinker! Have a word!
