Television Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is terrible

I’ll save you some time, it objectively sucks. Unless you have a mature woman foot fetish, maybe? Holly Hunter has aged well and sits around with her bare feet pointed at the camera the entire time.

Take William Frakes and his minions with their progressive agenda over writing / entertainment out of Star Trek and it will be good again. Dont get Frakes getting all the love he does when he has destroyed one of the best sci fi universes to be a agenda obsessed virtue signaler .
 
Aside from all the skirt wearing man mocked into oblivion. Why?

It would have been cancelled because early TNG is weak compared to what we get now.
The Old School TOS fans hated TNG when it came out. Season 1 and 2 were very weak overall(other than a few standout episodes). If it came out on a network, it most likely wouldn't have been renewed, but thankfully, they stuck to their guns and released it on first run syndicarion, and we got 20 years of awesome Trek.

Now I don't love Academy, and honestly went in not expecting to like it, but to my surprise, I havent hated it, and have found some enjoyable moments in it.

I still want the Kurtzman era to end, and for someone like Ronald D Moore or Terry Matalas to be brought in to take over Star Trek, but I can't stand the mob reviews, who don't actually give a show a chance.

Take the butch lesbian in the blue. She was on screen for all of 15 seconds so far in the 5 episodes released. Yet review after review act like she is the lead of the show. It's just put out to piss off certain people.

Name one.

I'm not certain if you even like Star Trek.

That is very opinionated of you to say.

Star Trek is done.
 
The only reason for me to continue watching Starfleet Academy is to see which sensually comical couch pose Holly Hunter takes next.

Is that enough to preserve through the season?

Star Trek used to be about so much more.
