I've seen the anti-woke Star Trek.

I had to stop when they invaded space Iraq due to WMD's.

Yeah but the xindi actually did have planet killing weapons so

I'm not talking about Enterprise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then what are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda

Neat, I've never heard of that show before

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The first season is okay sci-fi. The rest is awful.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

As far as I can tell, you're not missing much. A ragtag bunch of sci-fi misfits led by Kevin Sorbo as Kevin Sorbo go on a series of cliche space adventures.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And each adventure is more Sorbo than the last.

DISAPPOINTED!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It, uh, it’s Sorbin’ time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It has some interesting ideas and chapters. But when the creator of the show and the actor playing the Nietschean first officer leave due to Sorbo's ego, the show really turns into a dumpster fire.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The star of the show is definitely anti woke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Does Starfleet not? Besides literally all of their ships. Because every ship that can go to Warp Speed is a planet killer based on the information in the show.

Have you seen human history?

Untrustworthy savages, the lot of them. A rogue species just temporarily acting reasonable for some nefarious plan no doubt.

Now, before you explain that "No, the Xindi really did have it coming," I have not watched Enterprise, and I never will.

Enterprise Season 3 opens with a Xindi ship coming out of warp over Earth and cutting a 20 mile wide trench across Florida. Earth didn't know the Xindi existed at the time, had no idea it was coming or why.

Spoiler alert: the Xindi had been given faulty/false information that Earth was planning to attack them, by some other mutual enemy. IIRC it had to do with that "temporal cold war" thing they tried to push, which I'm convinced was someone in a writing room saying words without thinking about what they meant. What ensues is basically the Hell episode of Voyager stretched across a season.

But I wanted the Hell Episode stretched across a season...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The xindi were lied to by a faction of the temporal cold war that was trying to keep them from joining the federation in the future. From there perspective they thought humans were trying to genocide them so they were defending themselves. I actually enjoyed Enterprise even if it's not close to my favorite trek series
