"He was an idiot"
"He was under your command, it was your responsibility as a senior officer to guide and coach him, you've displayed incompetence and gross negligence towards a member of your crew and as a result they have lost their life. We hereby relieve you of duty"
There, fixed it 🤣
Honestly, i could imagine that after that last sentence fall, her last comment would be "Pf. Typical for old white man. Blame the woman for what an idiot did." And if we would talk about REAL Star Trek or a REAL court martial, the answer from the Admirals should be:
"Come back here, Captain. WHAT did you just say? I don't think, you know, in what position you are! You had command of that ship for only a few days. And in this short amount of time, you just didn't lost one of your subordinates, who was in YOUR responsibility. You also lost that ship due to a failed experiment which caused a few Tribbles to multiply so much, that you couldn't even activate the selfdestruct sequence. And because of that, the ship drifted into Klingon Space with thousands of Tribbles onboard. Our best Diplomates had a very hard time, to explain the Klingons, that this was only an accident and no declaration of war from our side. And YOU got the nerve to insult not only your dead crewmember but FIVE Starfleet Admirals?! When i look into the faces of my colleagues here, i think we all here agree, that you are no Starfleet Material. We will recall your Officer's patent and release you from Starfleet permanently. And we will take care, that you will never ever fly on a Starship again! DISMISSED!"
That's how it WOULD/SHOULD have went if this was the real world. But since Star Trek is a joke of itself now. "he's an idiot! j/k k thx BYEEEEEEEEE GIRL POWER!"
Feminazism.
Feminism is sexism. Its the belief women are superior and that women should not be held accountable for their actions.
Well stated, all of you. Your comments are indeed accurate.
@@WERob-to5sp That's lipstick, or Champaign, feminism, the male-hating misandry to the far left of feminism. Feminism isn't sexism. It's the belief men and women are equal, that each should treat the other with dignity and respect. If that's not being held accountable for our actions, if that's sexism and preferential treatment, we've a really narrow understanding of what those things actually are.
Check out Doctor Who, before Chibnall got ahold of it. There's the example of a popular feminist in the lead, what it actually is. Fifty years of it.
SHE doesn't know how HE got as far as he did in his career with HIS attitude?!?
WTF? REALLY?
Pot meet Kettle.
Simple projection from the writing staff. They don't know how they got where they are with their poor writing and attitudes.
"He was an idiot" who was ten times as smart as her and in every other discernible way was worth at least ten of her.
Excellent point.
The irony is that the incompetence is that of leadership. She failed in her role.
We can try to talk to and reason with these woke SJW jerks all we want about our concerns, but I think this quote from predator 2 sums up their feelings just perfectly "I don't think he gives a shit"
One of my favorite scenes in Star Trek is when Data is acting captain and has to deal with Worf giving him an attitude. He takes him privately into the ready room, and gives him a brutal yet completely formal lecture on his behavior. And Worf, being the honorable Klingon he is, recognizes his fault and accepts the criticism. They part having resolved the issue and, more importantly, agreeing to not let it effect their friendship. That scene is important because it encapsulates how the relationships between characters in Star Trek SHOULD work. Duty and decorum are vital to maintaining the cohesion of the crew, but underneath all of that these characters strive to have strong personal relationships as well. Conflicts are resolved through enforcement of Starfleet regulations _and_ through personal comradery. New Trek treats these characters like office workers who barely care about each other, but the reality is these people live together in what amounts to a small town over the course of years.
Yes. We all mess up sometimes. We're all human. But what is SO TERRIBLE about feminist WOKE ideology is that women can never admit to any wrong doing. So they have to look for perverted ways to justify their sadism. HENCE "Wa-mihn." They are always whining.
There was a time when Starfleet actually looked like an organization run with a military sense of decorum and professionalism, less like McHale's Navy and more like the actual Navy.
Such a good point.
I prefer Down Periscope's model for a relaxed but highly effective team structure.
Exactly!
I kinda thought the same. Captain Edward Jellico is a great example. He was prepared for when shit hit the fan. The crew did understand the chain of command, begrudgingly mind you.
Discovery is when the federation is at war. So following orders is a must in a militaristic structure.
Had that episode be made today. Someone accessing webmd would make a half ass story about PTSD. Rather a whip snap of reality that the other will destroy your ship or prisoners without care.
I guess it goes with the times, it reflects modern leftist ideology in the Army and why it's failing so hard not getting anybody to join them anymore. Nobody wants to die for some foreign country's interests so their corrupt politicians get richer while America burns.
"I don't know how you made it this far in your career behaving like this."
- me, looking over Alex Kurtzman's writing and producing resumé
Kurtzman was involved with Fringe-a show with really good character driven SF. So he could do better at some point.
It's called projection ;)
A lot of working on my knees

"He was an idiot." He was also a member of HER crew and thus HER responsibility. In no modern navy, army or air force would an officer of any integrity get away with blaming subordinates for a disaster under their command. So if "he was an idiot," her defense is that she's incompetent and has no control over her own crew. Which means she has no business commanding a bowel movement, let alone a starship.
Perfect contrast: Notice how Barclay was mentored by LaForge. That was a prime example of a mid-level leader being sandwiched in between the command staff (namely Riker, who was getting sick of Barclay being on report, and as any vet knows s*** rolls downhill) and an underperforming subordinate. He took an interest in Barclay, got firm where necessary, and while he didn't exactly become some stellar officer he did end up doing some good things in Starfleet. Compare that to this entitled little c*** who is quite similar to literally every female with any modicum of authority throughout Kurtzman Trek, and you'll see which iteration of Starfleet would fold and utterly fail at the slightest bit of adversity because these power tripping harpies would do nothing but pass the buck and insist on always being right and perfect.
@@The_Lucent_Archangel It's hard to see an officer like that dealing with some of the real clusterfucks that have happened on Picard or Sisko's watch. Remember how personally Sisko took Eddington's betrayal? Though Odo and Kira were tasked with station security, Sisko took responsibility. Captain Karen here would've been all "It wasn't my fault. He was sneaky and my staff suck."
Sounds like the Afghanistan withdrawal
@@Siegzon Oh, shut up. One, no it doesn't. And two, not at all anywhere even remotely the subject, and I'm not American or British or Afghani and couldn't give two fifths of a shit.
@@dars5229 oh, it is. But here are you giving way more than two shits...so maybe be consistent?
I watched "The Trouble With Edward" once, and that was at least four more times than I should have.
"She was an idiot"
Rise of Skywalker about Admiral Holdo
"I don't know how you made it this far in your career behaving like this".... I'm actually offended by this. I'm former Navy, and naval culture is most of what Starfleet uses as a baseline for ranks and the like. In THIS situation, he would actually be in his rights to have HER written up, because officers, especially Commanding Officers are held to a higher standard of behavior. You don't *ever* get to speak to a junior officer in that manner, period.
Why would we expect writers of the caliber of those currently working on Star Trek to have any concept of anything as complex as how to speak to subordinates? These guys are probably the type of petty tyrant that no manager in their right mind would allow anywhere near a position of authority. The scene is literally a SJW's fantasy of what it would be like to be in charge; where they can verbally bully their subordinates and aren't held accountable for the actions of the people under their command.
Yeah I would certainly question how SHE got to her position behaving/talking like SHE did. Writers elevating others by making the "competition" look stupid just makes themselves look stupid by association. Flawless writing, if this was kindergarten. Oh TNG how I miss you so. th-cam.com/video/COIPAjSpd6M/w-d-xo.html
@@LoneWolf-rc4go I worked with someone EXACTLY like her. She was the epitome of the SJW in a managerial position. I mean, the absolute stereotype of these types of people: obsessed with Crossfit and yoga (if you did neither, then she berated you for it), constantly switched to whatever current fad diet, was "gluten intolerant", and so on. But by and large, just the most insufferable person you could meet. And she constantly demeaned people, but shutdown anyone who tried to defend themselves. Apparently, she got ahead by falsely reporting sexual harassment. These people do exist.
1) no stand by
2)hostile workplace
3)no irs employed
4)not told wrong behavior
5) deriliction of duty
Each one is tagged with an additional 134 starfleet equivalent charge
They would throw the book at her and her command staff
Looking at time in penal colony
@Zoomer Waffen that isn't what she said at all. She said for the idiot woman she was replying to to STOP asking for martial law, because martial law is the military killing civilians for disobedience and isn't a good idea at all.
Remember in The Undiscovered Country, when Kirk was on trial for the assassination of the Klingon Chancellor?
He agreed that a captain is responsible for the actions of their crew
Kirk was leadership material
Gosh I miss TV like that.
-"As Captain, I am responsible for the conduct of the crew under my command."-
"My crew is full of idiots. This conversation is over. Case dismissed......this is the end of the conversation."
Sadder yet it's Rosa Salazar playing this condescending captain. She went from Alita: Battle Angel to this.
by today's standards Kirk should not BE in command because of his white male cisgender hetro privilege. Notice these days all commanders and officers in starfleet MUST be alien or minority. Hmm
@@Elfrunner its a job to pay the bills. She didn't write it.
This is why, after decades of loving Star Trek, I don't watch it anymore. I prefer to remember how inspirational it was, and not spoil the memory by watching this new stuff.
Right on. The only series I will watch is Picard. The movie reboot was more ST than anything on TV which is why I enjoy the rewatching DVDs and only had Picard season 1 on DVD. I think ST on TV lost it with Voyager.
I only watch the expanse , lost in space and the orville it's everything that was right with classic star trek.
I grew up with star trek. I watched voyager so many times as it's my favorite. I know how woke and silly it gets but discovery is beyond watchable. Listening to "delta flyers" now. Reminiscing about the past. Star trek died once they tried to make the new motion pictures cool for people who don't watch it. 🙃
Yeah... but you have to see the positive side:
"Orville" season 3 is about to stream very soon!
So... this series right here is supposed to be a serious series? It looks more like a very bad parody of star trek.
Mine was TNG. AND I agree bud. Star Trek has gone downhill fast...and it's sad.
_"beyond watchable"_ you right wingers love over exaggeration
Nàh... Discovery is just different is all...
The man made it through the Academy to successfully become a Starfleet officer, so him being an "idiot" is entirely subjective. Gone are the days of scenes like Major Kira and the assumed Gul Darheel in DS9's prison cells.
The Kira / Darheel scenes are powerful, wonderfully acted and thought provoking. I think it will be a long time until we see scenes like that again!!
@@525Mat_ Totally agree. The development of Kira's character in that one episode, from hating Cardassians purely for being Cardassian to understanding that cruelty isn't inherent to them, is incredibly well done on everyone's part. The closing scene with the Bajoran radical just brings it all together beautifully.
Exactly what I was thinking. If he can make it through training, he isn't an idiot unless it was a diversity hire...
It really shows how far the writing quality has dropped for the show when they 'forget' that getting into Starfleet academy is tough and they only accept the best of the best.
*Dalik1000* yeah but in this case ( THE STD ) all of their writers are diversity hires *all have half a brain cell*
it is pure "Anti-Trek" and a disgrace to what Roddenberry had in mind....
This is probably deliberate.
I agree. TOS and later iterations featured a crew working together each time to face an external challange that was greater than their internal conflicts. There was teamwork and trust. The 'zeitgeist' now seems to be the Lone Maverick who knows better than everyone else, and who survives among a crew where everyone's ripping each others' throats out.
@@DavidBoycePiano SO, its a mirror universe
@UCAtPcECQEz16bD3Y26eqm_g i dont give a F*** about the human flaws of the man-i do care for the art that he left and that made millions happy and inspired even more!what they shit out as "Trek" these days is much more destructive and humiliating than an overpaid actor in a minor role,crying about her dressing that made her rich and popular in the first place!
It's done on purpose too.
In ep 2 of season 1 of STD they had a very 'TNG ensign' type of character enter the brig Burnham was held in during a battle.
He was injured and panicking, talking about how they were explorers not soldiers. She talked down to him then he got blown out into space.
THAT was when I knew they didn't want trekkies watching.
Belittling then killing male Starfleet officers seems to be something that happens over and over again in STD.
"...He was an idiot..."
...
"...Okay, this conversation is over."
"But wait I-"
"Based on the preceding events under your watch, resulting in a preventable loss of life aboard your vessel, you are hereby relieved of your commission and command and are being placed on indefinite leave pending a formal inquiry; effective immediately."
"Hold on-!"
"Should you wish to appeal any decisions, you will have to wait until a consensus is reached, pending a formal investigation and any subsequent tribunals regarding your actions as Captain."
"But-!"
"You're dismissed."
Having this character thoroughly get stomped by the system and have it be proven that in fact she was the idiot would be actually funny. True, a slow burn of unfunny to get to a satisfying ending, but funny nonetheless.
The one reason why I love ALL of the Star Trek is BECAUSE NO ONE MENTIONED RACISM OR GENDER IDENTITY. I saw how any one can be a scientist and that's why I became a scientist even when in reality, most of my teachers discouraged me because there wasn't enough blacks. Glad I didn't listen to them as I am now a Software Engineer. I still watch Star Trek (all series and movies) BSG, Eureka, and Stargate(all series and movies) on replay.
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made is never watching Discovery once.
I tried to watch the first episode. I could not make it through
I tried, three times. I'm sorry I did. It's not the Star Trek I know.
@@reflexxuns4065 Why are you apologizing? They're the ones attacking fans with this garbage
I only saw it once and it was enough for me.
Never wasted one second on it. It looks so bad!
Gene Roddenberry is rolling in his grave on how stupid this series is written
no he isn't,, he actually wanted the tv series to have a female captain, you people need to actually watch a program about what roddenberry ACTUALLY wanted. he was a WOKE PERSON.
For the people thinking that I am saying that having a female captain makes me a sexiest. No, what I am saying is that Roddenberry was Woke because he wanted to use the show to push the social agenda's which was happening at the time. If he was alive today star trek would be anti male, pro feminist, blm, non gendered, sjw propaganda.
@@dagonming1319 Of course he was. The writing is the main issue. I doubt Roddenberry, had he gotten his way, would have allowed the writers to make his female captain an arrogant, child-like character who put down any subordinate she perceived as lacking. It’s all in the presentation and writing. Consider how well Cisco and Janeway, historic strong characters in Star Trek canon, were presented and written.

Glad some folks are watching Discovery--if only because someone had to point this out. You nailed it.
Barclay was a classic character--the oddball who didn't fit in. And the crew, despite their own prejudices endeavored to make him a functional part of the crew. The contrast between TNG's handling of Barclay and this guy is glaring.
*Guy causes the destruction of a Starfleet ship due to Tribbles = "He was an idiot."
*Burnham disobeys direct orders and single-handledly plunges the Federation into a war with the Klingons = *gets command of her own ship
The thing about modern "Trek" that I hate the most, and this short is a prime example, is just how mean spirited it is. We can argue about the politics and economics of the Trek universe, but the one thing everybody SHOULD be able to agree on is that Trek was never meant to be mean spirited. It was never supposed to revel in it's own pettiness and loathing. It was supposed to be better than that.
You nailed it.
Your point is spot on and makes me sad on how bad one of my former favourite shows is now 😞
I think the modern "Trek" series encapsulates what is wrong with mainstream culture. Being petty and loathing is now seen as a virtue. We all thought those "I aspire to be that level of petty" to be somewhat ironic memes, but they aren't. They're red flags that somehow we have reached a point where it's acceptable and even celebrated to be nasty.
@@someopinionateddirt6561 Therin lies another huge problem with modern "Trek". The writers are using it as a vehicle to reflect their interpretation of modern society is back at the viewer. That was never the point of Trek. Trek exists to show the viewers a vision of the future that we should all be working towards. It gave us something to strive for. Something to be hopeful for.
What's worse is that by showing us their interpretation of modern day society, complete with doom, gloom, and one sided political and cultural takes that leave no room for discussion or understanding, they end up damaging the culture themselves, and we just end up in this endless cycle of loathing.
I never lived in a world where the original Star Trek didn't exist; and the one thing I loved most was its spirit of hopefulness. And ironically, that series wasn't written in a utopian era -- it was written during the Vietnam War, and the Cold War, when even the Star Trek writers couldn't imagine a world where we escaped World War III with the Soviet Union.
Yet the series held out hope for humanity, and that's what I've always loved. I could come home from a miserable day and put in one of the VHS tapes my family had recorded; and whatever episode it was, it cheered me up.
Even when an alien was tricking the Enterprise crew and the Klingons into fighting each other because the alien fed off their negative energy, the humans and the Klingons could unite in temporary truce.
Now, the nasty bitterness of Wokeist spite oozes like pus out of every franchise they infect. The people who claim to be against hate, are the personification of hate, and destruction is the only thing they can create.
"He mixed their DNA with that of humans so they would breed faster."
Ah yes, humans, those notoriously fast-breeding animals, with their gestation time of a mere nine months and average litter size of a whopping 1.1. Such an intelligent show!
Directly contradicting Enterprise (I just rewatched this episode a few nights ago) where Phlox says that their planet is full of reptilian predators and constant reproduction is the only way the Tribble species survives.
I can vividly recall Bones McCoy saying "Near as I can tell they're born pregnant."
Also... he's SMART enough to be ABLE to do that... but he's stupid, too... so stupid he can't even use his own PDA... when he probably would have had to use computers to help accomplish the task of combining their DNA.
I'd suggest a new Olympic sport... "mental gymnastics"... but I wouldn't want to reward this stupidity
Watch closer. Human DNA and Tribble DNA spliced makes Tribbles breed faster.
@@tjames9698 Ok, but why though?
Can you imagine the hysterical Ree'ing if the genders were reversed in these scenes? Or if the 'butt of the joke' was a black woman? It would be unthinkable.
I fucking wish they would. with all my heart.
After watching almost any of the new Star Trek shows, I am so grateful for reruns, video's, Netflix and my memories. Long live the original shows.
It's actually heartbreaking to see how low Star Trek has fallen. Its like seeing an ex who's now a meth addict, has lost all their teeth and vitality and just slumps in shop doorways and can't even find the energy to beg for coins...in fact that's a higher plane of existence than Trek right now.
Star Trek these days is probably written by meth addicts
Your reply reminded me of a newspaper column I read about forty years ago about how Playboy had opened a club in some Ohio suburb, and the columnist's uncle had a Playboy "key" -- the writer was basically saying that whatever it was that made Playboy what it had been was gone once they've got clubs that your uncle Billy was a member -- Star Trek is now being written by mundane, ordinary individuals.
This abomination is NOT Star Trek. It is a vehicle for identity politics, wearing the flayed skin of Star Trek (because it could never stand on its own) and trying to lure you in with nostalgia. Star Trek consists of: TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY & ENT (and the movies tied to TOS and TNG, of course) period. It is not he first Franchise that has been taken over in this way and it will not be the last. It is better to rewatch the old shows over and over, than to waste even one minute of your lifetime watching these insults to the fans (that kept these franchises alive over decades).
@@Vikingmetal82 I’m proud to say aside from watching guys like RLM, Doomcock, Nerdrotic, etc tear them apart, I haven’t watched a minute of STD, Peecard, or Lower Dreck.
@@YT1300MF almost the same for me, with the exception that I was dumb enough to think Peecard would be faithful to TNG... unsurprisingly it did not take me long to see that it's not and turn it off for good.
How did she make it so far in her career with her attitude?
She sees a crew member in imminent danger and doesn't say a word. She looked like she completely froze, not knowing what to do. Not even a "look out".
Great leader.
She just wanted him dead. I hate to say it, but it's true. She wasn't incompetent in that scene, she was malicious.
exactly, every other series the anti character would have been saved or attempted to save by the lead character..
Good call
@@remo27 Knowing how woke Trek is, they probably gave her a promotion.
You’ve hit the nail on the head here. I’ve been wondering what is wrong with the spirit of this new Trek compared to the optimism of the TOS and TNG eras. In this video you’ve given a prime example of what you can call the Netflix effect, in which optimism is replaced by nihilism and moral compasses are taken away.
And Voyager?
Voyager had the episode, "Good Shepherd", in which Janeway helped a few crew members who were thought to be lost causes reach their full potential.
"He was an idiot"
on a ship that you were in charge of. That you lost because you couldn't handle one "idiot". I'm not sure what that makes him but it's clear what it makes you.
Is that a clip from an actual official Star Trek show or some fan made shit?
I know this sounds dumb but I'm seriously asking (I don't follow the new stuff anymore) ..
@@richtifilmpalast5373 It's from Short Treks, actual paramount-produced nu-canon short films.
@@entropy11 Never heard of those, but as I mentioned I stopped watching a couple of years ago. And if these Short Treks are any indicator for today's quality of ST writing I'm glad i stopped.
Just out of curiosity, do they fill story "holes" between different ST shows and movies with these shorts?
That line alone is the one line that any manager, supervisor, superior officer or Captain would never say in that situation. That line alone is enough to inform us that she is not Captain Material. Can you imagine Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko or any other saying that when one of their crew died?
The series promotes feminist propaganda and is a reflection of the sexist culture that exists among the writers and producers. This is why the phrase 'feminazism' was coined.
"End of conversation." That's the kind of captain who, in real life, ends up getting fragged.
Doesn’t happen as often as it should.
Pretty much.
@@TGuard00014 Shitty "leaders" like that more often just hire more of their kind to confirm their bias.
What means fragged?
@@marioluigi9599 Fragged means to deliberately kill an officer, usually with a hand grenade.
It's such a sad reflection of the people writing it, and indeed, of the current generation of writers in Hollywood. Once upon a time it was *understood* that if you took over a long established franchise -- a Dr Who, a Star Trek, a Star Wars, a Superman, a Batman, whatever it may be -- it used to be understood that if you took on that legacy you were only the temporary custodian of something bigger than you, something that had been around a long time before you and which you wanted to be steward of in such a way that it'd still be in good shape after you leave.
The writers of EVERY previous Star Trek knew this. There were people who worked on The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise who've gone on record about how much they thought Roddenberry's vision was ridiculous and stymied their ability to tell the stories they wanted, heck among them are such heavy hitters as Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore or DS9 showrunners Ira Behr. But what all these people knew is that if you're writing Star Trek, you have to write STAR TREK. If you don't want to find a way to write your story within the confines of Gene's Vision, you GTFO. And many writer's did leave. But those that remained, did so because they respected that you don't change Star Trek to suit your writing, you write to suit Star Trek.
The modern showrunners just don't get that. Hollywood is now full of ideologues, and they're hell bent on changing every franchise to suit their agenda. They no longer care about legacy, history, or even making a profit. It's depressing.
That being said, i do think them being able to hide on streaming has helped them. If they had to go out on mainstream commercial TV like all of the pre-2016 Star Trek shows did, I think they'd quickly find market forces bringing them back under control, eg removing all the gratuitous swearing for a start.
After years of being mentored as an educator, this WASP became a trained mentoring educator and helped numerous young teachers develop their talents. And yes, as a kid I was inspired by TNG and its ability to see through the surface traits and look for the untapped talent. My point is that a WASP Male in the 21st century seems to be better trained and capable of leadership than a star fleet captain with all the training and ideals that the organization is supposed to reflect.
Without the Enterprise crew helping Reg to come out of his shell, find his own path forwards and contribute to Star Fleet then Voyager would have been lost in the Delta Quadrant with no way to communicate home.
Weird fact, Reg was in more Voyager episodes than TNG episodes.
Broccoli was one of the best characters. Dwight Schultz was already well-loved by A-Team fans who, by and large, were Trekkies. Bringing him onto the show and later reprising the character just shows how fantastic the studio producers were back then. They understood their fans and responded to the outpouring of love Barclay's story received. Next Generation was always predicated upon the notion that the best and the brightest made up Star Fleet, and that the best of Star Fleet were crew members of the Enterprise. Picard, being the stellar captain he was, understood this. Barclay's story is a very human one. Anyone can succumb to addiction, even great geniuses. Perhaps, often times, it's one's genius that drives them to said addiction. The bridge crew and Geordi recognizing that the genius among them was salvageable and a crucial component to the engineering team shows that Next Generation is FAR, FAR more woke on basic human principles than any of the trash rolling out by these feeble shadows of once great franchises.
*And Reg got more character development in his Voyager episodes than most of the Voyager crew.*
If this man went trough Academy or training in field and passed to become a member of a crew on a star ship he would NOT be an idiot.
Logic and common sense is irrelevant when it comes to wokeness.
Maybe it's the diversity hires projecting themselves on this guy, because in real life it's usually the opposite how it works. Feminists think they can't do no wrong, but amazingly they are never right about anything.
Yeah, that’s why the set up makes no sense to me. If he was really that incompetent and stupid, he would have gotten weeded out at the academy. So the writers abandoned that bit of logic to try to make something that isn’t even funny.
If this woman went through Academy or training in field and passed to become a member of a crew on a star ship, still less captain of that ship, then it would NOT be Starfleet Academy or anything like it.
Where's the academy that stumped Wesley Crusher that impressed a transdimensional alien with his instinctive understanding of the universe?
Hearing that “this conversation is over” bit I cannot believe SHE is supposed to be the good one here
Gene Rodenberry once answered a question about Picards baldness with the repply "in the 24th century, no one will care". In the TNG era everyone was excepted equally. One persons struggle was no more important than others.
The character Janeway is much overlooked by the Discovery brigade. She was played brilliantly by Kate Mulgrew, so much so that there was no discussion about wether or not she was inspiring and beievable as a leader.
The scene depicted contributed significantly to my being turned completely off by Kurtzman’s new Trek (I was well on my way already). It made me wince and angry, and wonder how anyone with any amount of knowledge and respect for Star Trek could have written it. The officer comes across as a completely arrogant, snarky, rude, and incompetent ass who doesn’t know how to lead someone who just needed some guidance. As a former real world leader and manager, it’s a perfect example of poor leadership. I literally hate watching it since it disgusts me so much. I never thought Star Trek would end up in such truly incompetent and clueless hands.
Came here to see or say this. Exactly right. Contrast with how this was handled on a good show, TNG, with Barclay. Barclay was a bit creepy at first in addition to needing guidance, and yet the enlightened crew of the 1701D took him and helped him rather than toss him aside. Can you imagine what Kurtzman Trek would do to Barclay, he’s a straight, white male, so he’s already got that going against him. This is why I ignore any Trek made after 2005.
@@YT1300MF and look how the character of Barclay ended up being written, he became a respected member of the pathfinder project and was instrumental in establishing contact with Voyager. He would never achieve anything if he'd been written for std.
That scene was evidently written with hatred.
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo Definitely. The guy is a punchbag for modern prejudice.
So true. I worked on passenger ferries for years and it took me an absolute age to find my footing and fit in. It was one of the First Officers who took the time and encouraged me. By the time I finished there I was CSO(command of a cabin crew), had worked deck, bridge watch, type rated for 2 fast craft vessels. I achieved so much more than I would have without that extra help and push an not ashamed to say but I was bloody good at that job. Takes a good officer/leader/manager to get the best out of their people and the depiction here is the exact opposite.
"I don't know how you made it this far..." That line, the lack of self awareness of the character also reflects on the writers lack of self awareness and self reflection.
They don't see themselves as the possible problem, so they believe themselves justified in being obnoxious and utter spiteful attitude.

He had composure while talking, she was aggressively trying to cut him off at every word. She was written a Karen lol. That one conversation was enough to show her character as a whole.
"I'm not allowed to defend myself here at all?"
"This conversation is over."
"Wow, you're the least professional officer I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Thank you for the transfer. Good luck with 'the kind of work you're doing here'."

As someone social awkward and with anxiety how TNG handled Barkley meant a lot to me. What they're doing now is an embarrassment. A fanfic writer could do better.
💯
Many often do.
The current writers of Star Trek ARE FANFIC WRITERS and untalented ones at that!
@@georgeso4364 well normally fanfic writers genuinely like the source material and are writing about characters they love. That level of sincerity isn't president in any of nu-trek.
It's insulting to me too since I am also awkward and have social anxiety sometimes. It's interesting that woke SJWs claim to be for the outliers and the disenfranchised in society yet will belittle most of the outliers in society to push their agenda.
There was one person who was responsible for the loss of the ship, it's captain. To paraphrase TOS: a captain is responsible for every member of the crew, and their deaths.
That scene reminds me of how I react when I encounter an advertisement for a modern Star Trek show. "End of conversation" ... it's like she's reading my mind
She sounds and looks like a 12 year old. I have people around me who are not good at their job. They don't mean to do it, they are just capable of so much. I do what I can to put them in a position to be productive. Work gets done and they feel accomplished.
Kudos to you. I hope they appreciate what you do.
She looks like a 12 year old.
Same, I have a crew member that is... well... He's unique. And there are times I wanna throttle him, but I don't. I build him up and encourage him, and he's a better worker today than he was a year ago. And I didn't have the benefit of academy training and command training. Someone give me a ship lol
Exactly! I'll never forget when I was working at a site with a new co-worker who was very dedicated but was having so much trouble in the position he was in. But when he was redirected into areas where he COULD do better, it helped him and it also helped us to be a better work force overall. Berating and belittling him would've only made everything worse.
she sounds and behaves like an entitled millenial
The new Treks can be described in two words to describe why they don't work: mean spirited.
The new shows are written by people who do not know real kindness, real tolerance, etc. They're written by people who do not know what forgiveness is. As the Bible says: evil will be known as good and good will be evil. And modern media demonstrate this.
Yes. They are hatred personified. They're like the alien feeding off negative energy in "Day of the Dove".

I didn’t get past the episode where they basically said it was okay to promote a woman over a more qualified man bc of “the struggle.” That was about when I officially tapped out.
My goodness, am I happy to have found this channel!
Imagine the uproar if that Edward character was anything other than white or male!

@@pretikewl76 Nonsense, there would be no outrage, just small and mostly-peaceful but slightly fiery public gatherings like a summer of love.

Just one more reason whites need to get the point. Where if a white is being actually oppressed. Then people have a fit about as much as any other race. As it is racist to bring up oh what if it was any other race and sex. As if we have to keep comparing white males to other races to show how bad off we are. We will never win.
“This conversation is over” tumble weed moment of cringe. Sci Fi and Comedy writing is not their forte.
Lower decks Is the living proof of that
It really sounds like written by HR.
While I have enjoyed what little I have seen of the F troop of the Star Trek universe (Lower Decks) This short trek story seemed like a Family Guy/Bob's Burger instead of a glimpse into the every day life of a Star Fleet crew. The whole end of the beat down that was supposed to be a Captain addressing a crew members weakness instead seemed like Peter from Family Guy holding is knee for 5 minutes going Ewww...Owww. It wasn't funny. It did not help that the "idiot" was played by H. Jon Benjamin.
She did that annoying feminist faux outrage thing with raised eyebrows as well, total cringe.
They succeeded in making something worse than the "communications joke" in Star Wars Last Jedi.
Completely agree with this video. As a kid, I was a little embarrassed to admit I was a Trek geek. As an adult, I feel ashamed.
Barclay was an awesome character.
Remember that at the end of the day ; Barclay found a way to speak with the Voyager in the delta quadrant, he is the man that helped admiral Janeway to change the past. THAT is true character development. It remind me of O’Brien in TNG/DS9 actually.
I never liked Barclay htough...
Except that O'Brien started out as an arrogant twat and never changed , while Barclay underwent significant character growth.
It also seems to be ageist.
Edward looked to be a man of about 45 - 50.
All the other characters, including the other males, looked about 25.
Yep. I'm 50. I still have most of my hair and it's only just starting to gray, and I'm blessed with very few wrinkles (so far). Guy looks to be my age to maybe ten years older (50 to 60). At this point, you'd think at least SOME of his personality flaws would have been straightened out by necessity through the course of his life. But apparently not. How'd he ever get his position, anyway? Maybe if he was an Admiral's son and they were implying that the Federation was corrupt and appointing officers based on other considerations than merit, but no, they don't even give that impression. This guy is just a poor nobody who somehow rose up the ranks despite being so comically incompetent and clueless one wonders how he could tie his shoes. Either that or he had undiagnosed age related dementia coming on a bit early - in which case, good job Star Trek for persecuting and killing the mentally impaired! You'd think he must have done SOMETHING to get to be an Officer, esp if he was as he seemed a 'nobody': yet there's no indication he's ever done anything good or useful. Heck by making him obnoxious and a bit , it seems, autistic, they make sure he gets no sympathy from the audience either. They just made a total throw-away character who got treated by both the crew and the show writers worse than many downright enemies of the Federation. And considering he was apparently targeted for his skin color, it wouldn't surprise me if they targeted his age as well. Disgusting.
Oh yeah, Wokeists are blatantly ageist. They agree with Oprah that the world will suck until the old people (as if she's 25???) die off because "they're all racists". 🙄
I'll never forget when a woman helped her grandfather make a Facebook page and he was so excited to share some pics of his family, and one especially cute pic I loved -- of this sweet old grandpa holding his dog. Just a bunch of lovely pics of a happy family.
But.
He was white. So Wokeists came on his page with comments like, "I can't like any of this unless I know what you were doing in the 60s!" and "you old white guys wrecked the world".
So I've given up on trying to understand the Woke cult. Now I think of them like the alien in "Day of the Dove" which fed off the negativity it created. Wokeists are the personification of hate.
yeah just part of the "ok boomer" bs
The funny thing is...that "idiot" is sterling archer. Lol
I looked up this episode on iMDb. The actress who plays Captain Lucero is Rosa Salazar, the same actress who plays Alita. A little part of me died.
its not the actresses fault
The new Star Trek:
"Where no man will dare venture"
Idiots abound is a better title
5:42 "you can't rely on sensors. Never mind that they're more sensitive than to light in a wider spectrum than your eyes, have a far wider field of view and run on solid-state computing hardware rather than the somewhat laggy wet chemistry of the living body. Rely on the plot armour you get from having a contract that runs to the end of the season"
I actually laughed out loud at that line - if you can't rely on them, why have them? Wth is going on with the writing.
"Use the Force, Michael"
its laughable you would pilot a space ship with anything but sensors. "viewscreen on". its already default in the show, sensors are the method. the viewscreen can be turned on and off, and is a video feed, and is only used just to look at things. not pilot or tactics at all.
You got killed by an asteroid halfway through that explanation apparently
@@Derikboy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Captain Pike was my favourite character and a typical Starfleet officer, unfortunately he didn't last long. It's a shame because he was one of the few actors I genuinely enjoyed watching.
We have to remember that the people that are doing the Trek shows now probably never watched an episode of the earlier Star Trek series. Gene Roddenberry and the others a vision of the future with great storytelling. Now it's all about CGI and explosions with very little storytelling.
"I don't know how you made it this far in your career behaving like this." Mind boggling how someone like her became captain with a petty and callous attitude. I guess its true that the culture reflects the health of the civilization producing it. Next Generation handled this trope amazingly but instead of belittling Barclay and dismissing him, they took the time to get to know him and helped him be the best he could be. A crew member died on her watch and her only defense was "He was an idiot."
Did you watch the actual short this is from? That guy was portrayed as a maniac right from his first scene and he tried to destroy the ship and murder everyone when the Captain called him on his behavior. He did this to himself.
@@ShadowSonic2 The fact that they wrote in a character that has no business being in starfleet isnt exactly stellar writing either.

@@ShadowSonic2 Name some.
Kurtzman ACTUALLY said it himself in an interview that he could give a stuff about the Trek franchise. He's using it as a platform for his values. THAT is why Trek is where it is now ... because people like him are allowed to reign unchecked without our beloved franchises to push their bullshit.
That is saddening to hear, because if the show represents his values, then they are shit.
Could give a stuff or couldN'T give a stuff?
You're saying that they do care, but really you're trying say that they don't. One of the funniest quirks of (i am making an assumption here) American language.
@@noodles1595 Works both ways. People say "stuff it" when it comes to things they don't care about or don't want to do. At least here in Aus. Can't swear to other countries. So, again, here at least "could give a stuff" works in the same way "couldn't give a stuff" does.
to be fair, michael piller (think it was him)said a similar thing and went on to make ds9.
i dont know for certain that was the person, but it was someone brought in to raise rating for star trek who, in an interview said he hated star trek, thought it was like how he imagined kansas, he wanted more drama.
Let's hope that when actual aliens arrive he'll be among the first casualties, intentional on the part of aliens or not.
Geordi : "Maybe I'm not make myself clear, Guinan. Barclay, well, he's always late. The man's nervous. Nobody wants to be around this guy."
Guinan : "If I felt that nobody wanted to be around me, I'd probably be late and nervous too."
Geordi : "Guinan, that's not the point!"
Guinan : "Are you sure?"
Maybe if they had Guinan's wisdom on the ship, the capt and crew could found out what was behind the guy's poor attitude, actions, and motivations...
Everything that comes out of Dave's mouth is pure gold
The only redeeming route this episode could've taken is the administration board berates and strips the captain of her rank and position. Slam her for her complete and utter incompetence as a starfleet officer.
But this is not the Star Trek that we know.

Simply put, the people currently writing and creating Star Trek have no idea what Star Trek actually stood for.
No, they dont care. They watched the old shows to get some names and places and terms and that's it. They never had any intention of keeping the spirit of the show the same.
They do understand it. And they hate it. This vandalism is not the product of incompetence, it's malice.
And they don't care. They are just as horrible as the characters they "write"
SJW type leftists don't care about the IP. The IP is a means to an end. A vassal with which to propagandise the masses. A bottle to fill with their message.
Think about that maybe they don't know how to do it. They are so brainwashed that they, pure and simple, don't know anymore.
In their words: "They're just idiots." :)
It's sad how the Orville is the only true successor to Star Trek
Oh well see where we got: Discovery couldn't cross the fifth season mark, and JUST because Paramount was relying on it for their platform. They probably lost a lot of money, because Discovery had better FX than Star Trek First Contact. They think CGI and FX are what make Star Trek fans go nuts and don't realize we were ok with wood scenarios with carpets as longs as it had great stories and themes. It took me a long time but The Orville is a Star Trek show we deserve! The end of the second season was like a Star Trek V story but done correctly.
I was a lifelong fan of startrek. Star trek next generation basically raised me like the father I never had, and I am often shocked as an adult how much of my moral character came from that show. But this garbage is unforgivable, I won't be wasting my time with it.
Same here, I grew up on TNG, Voyager and Original Series and I can't even bear to watch even a minute of these newer shows.

“The search for truth, Scientific truth, historical truth, or personal truth. It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based.” - Capt. Jean-Luc Picard.

So the message of that short trek is basically "you're good but socially awkward? Ok you're a problem, something that should be thrown away". Thanks new star trek, as if some of us didn't have enough problems with that
This is unfortunately something we are going to have to deal with for some time across all forms of entertainment, due to the new ideal of employing people based on their beliefs rather than their skills
That "conversation" felt like a parody skit. Can't believe that was actually real and the producers thought that it fit the show...
I’m old enough to remember a time when Star Trek fans had to hide, in fear of being beaten up by jocks.
Now, Star Trek fans hide in just plain embarrassment, and fear of running into another “fan”.
It really is disappointing that anyone can even call this Star Trek while claiming to be a fan. It seriously makes me wonder why they watched the old shows at all... Unless somehow they're only fans of the movies which famously failed to capture the essence of Star Trek too (for the most part).

It’s fu the industry I had high hopes of becoming an actress at 40 as I am a triple threat but due to the woke I’m being discriminated against again.
To be honest, ST reeked of postmodernism even when I was a kid.
Did they not know that Deep Space Nine is a thing? Very diverse crew. Commanding officer? Black Cajun from New Orleans. First officer? Female alien and former resistance fighter. I guess Ben Sisko would be the aliens since it was a Bajoran space station, but you get the point.
And it was the best that Star Trek has ever been, in my opinion. The characters had so much nuance and development, and were so more relatable than TNG or Voyager. It wasn't great because of the diverse cast. It was great because the focus was on story and character development.
But this? This is like an over-promoted Dairy Queen manager belittling an employee just to get off on having authority over someone else. And yeah, it's not just bad. It's comically bad. The way she's chewing on her own gums while se tries to assert her dominance over the goofy white man only makes it that much harder to believe that it's not a parody.
