Where does one start with this. Windmills in Montana (showing off "Green Engergy"), to the whiny and I am scared performance for Anson Mount as Captain Pike (shadow of the character he portrayed in Discovery) to the "human" Spock, to the I am so tough acting Number One, to the what happened to our world performance, again, by Pike. This series appears like it is going to follow the whiny, woke and we are just so much better people now route, that I can say for sure, Star Trek is dead.I had high hopes for this show, was really looking forward to Anson Mounts portrayal as Captain Pike (he was great on Discovery), but here he is, a big disappointing mess. Paramount should have reviewed how Vulcans have been portrayed in every Star Trek ever, instead of creating this "human" version of him. Nurse Chapel, seriously? Could you have at least one character that was a decent performer? Same goes with Uhura. And what is it with all these females on the bridge. As a female myself, I am so sick and tired of seeing every possible male role written now for females. Yes, we women are quite capable of filling many roles, but this woke crap has got to stop. There is nothing wrong with white males. They are not evil and toxic as the left would have you believe. At least on any other Star Trek franchise, with the exception of woke Discovery, you had a great mix of characters, male and female. Since Discovery, everything has become way to woke. And please, for the love of God, quit bringing sex into the shows. We don't care that somewhat is gay, straight, trans, whatever you want to be. This does not belong into a Star Trek Series. This should be about the discovery of strange new worlds and civilizations and not your personal sex life.
Congratulations Paramount, you have taken an great opportunity and completely trashed it.
