    It’s hard to imagine a world in which writers are not allowed to express any harsh criticism of the work of other writers. I guess it would produce some really bad writing. If that’s really how it works in American film and television, perhaps it explains a few things.

      Is he criticising mordern Trek though or basically just pushing the “its woke” nonsense narrative?

      Like, there are critisims. Discovery felt incredibly out of place before they time traveled. Academy spent 4 of its 10 episodes on metaplot and ignored several of its characters (reminder, Tarima has a brother). All of it has too much “ThE gAlAxY iS At StaKe” overpowered plot constructs.

      That is criticism.

      Being angry they have gay Klingons is stupid.

      Also I can only imagine his pitch.

      “What if a white dude Starfleet Officer gets stranded in the Delta Quadrent alone and has to make poop potatoes alone to survive!”.

      It depends on context. A random podcast is not a venue for harsh critique
