The voice of reason

After a first season of dismal ratings and widespread hatred from fans,
Paramount has finally stepped up and pulled the plug on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The show is cancelled. Starfleet Academy’s second season has already been shot and completed, so that will air to a disinterested audience on streaming at some point, but afterward, it’s finished. CBS and Paramount issued a joint announcement today, confirming the second season will be the show’s last. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (premiered January 2026) has faced backlash from critics like Elon Musk and Stephen Miller, who labeled the show "woke". Critics cite themes focused on social change, diverse representation— including the franchise's first openly gay Klingon—and a "liberal arts" approach as departing from traditional Star Trek. Themes and Values: The series is accused of prioritizing "corporate wokeness," focusing on emotional safety, trust-building, and liberal arts college values rather than traditional space exploration. Diverse Representation: Starfleet Academy features a diverse cast, including the first openly gay Klingon character, cadet Jay-Den Kraag, who is depicted as gentle and science-minded. The Paramount+ series has received over 8,400 one star reviews on IMDb with fans slamming it for pushing DEI, ‘woke’ characters and LGBTQIDP+ storylines. https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/...r-two-seasons/ Instead of making a show that people will like, these clowns make a show that they think will make people like them when will they learn

with tv shows, people simply switch off if they don't like it. No-one is forced to watch anything

A gentle Klingon sounds pretty Woke tbf.
Tbh, the trailer with the weird woman spinning around on the chair put me off checking the Show out as she looked like she was going to be really annoying.

How many times do you have to watch people fall on their face before one of them thinks, hang on... I think I know where we went wrong.

The last 2 Star Trek shows produced by paramount have been "politically correct" nonsense. Most people stopped watching the show years ago

It hasn’t suddenly gone woke (still waiting for OP to tell us what “woke” is), it’s just not centred around certain types of people anymore and that’s clearly the problem.

Eventually people will wise up and realise audiences are sick of their agenda. And please, someone show Glenn how to look up a word on the internet so he doesn't keep asking the same question. Unless he already knows what 'woke' means and is just asking to be confrontational.

[CBS and Paramount issued a joint announcement today,
confirming the second season will be the show’s last.] I blame the American Writing team. They got this series wrong. Star Trek, back in 1966 when it started was Fantastic. |
