Politics in TV shows and movies is a cunt. If you hate Trump, Boris or Brexit. If you love people who think wearing a skirt makes them a woman. If you think the world will end in 12 years because the changing climate will make the Earth uninhabitable, fine. You go ahead and think that. You have every right to believe whatever the fuck you want. I don’t care.
What you do NOT have, is the right to force your beliefs upon other people, via the mediums of film and television. For too long now, we’ve had movies and TV shows that have purported to be one thing, but have turned out to be nothing but woke bullshit. The Watchmen TV show, which was on recently. Batwoman, Terminator Woke Fate, Charlies Angels, Ghostbusters 2016, Birds of Prey. All have been woke as fuck. All have carried the message that woman are superior in every way and men are shite. And all have fucking bombed worse than the weapon that hit Hiroshima. The latest examples of this bullshit are Star Trek Discovery, and Star Trek Picard.
Neither of these two shows bear any resemblance to what fans would recognise as Star Trek. To be fair, it’s partly because the rights are split between CBS and Viacom, which used to be one company, but are now two separate entities. Mainly though, it’s because the assholes who made them are woke, far left dickheads, who are more concerned with lecturing us on their far left politics than they are with doing their actual jobs, which is to entertain us. As a lifelong Trek fan, I was looking forward to seeing Star Trek Picard. Then Patrick ‘Slaphead’ Stewart had to proudly announce that the show would be an allegory for Trump’s presidency and Brexit. So, the actual science fiction can just go fuck itself then? Ok then, I’m out.
Just so I could claim to have an idea what I’m talking about, I’ve watched the first four episodes. It is, as I expected, shite. Picard is a shadow of the man he was in TNG. He’s constantly getting shouted at by women, and basically playing second fiddle in a show that carries his name. Oh yes, and he’s dying. If these smug pricks want to put their politics in a show, then they should make a fucking show about politics. Star Trek is supposed to be science fiction. Escapist entertainment. It’s always carried a political message to a degree, but it was done in a subtle way. STD and STP hit you in the face with an express train with their politics. And they can shove it up their arrogant asses. Smug cunts.
