Eh, you're correct about Voyager being bad for the Borg. Then again Voyager was the weakest of all classic treks.
On the comment of Picard "being put in his place by a woman": I have no problem with female leaders. Admiral Nechayev was nice, Janeway could have been so much more... The problem is that the nu trek show runners on multiple occasions talked about their... Political leanings and literally said that they don't care about trek, don't care what it was and literally that trek is their political platform, and it shows.
It's not about that Picard gets dressed down by a woman, it's about that women suddenly are all can't-do-wrong Mary sues whereas the men are all bumbling no-goods. Also notice that women mostly behave like on-my-high-horse assholes. Again, "sheer fucking hubris" kinda says it all. Can you imagine any Admiral saying THAT in TNG/DS9?
Not to mention the graphic violence. "But it happened that one time in TNG too!". Yeah, there is this one crazy episode there amongst hundreds whereas nutrek just had your daily dose of violence. I'll watch "the boys" for that (I do recommend if you're into dark humor)
This is not star trek. And no, I'm not going to give it my time anymore
@phoenixz @startrek IMHO, Strange New Worlds is the most “Star Trek” show since TNG. It really captures the spirit of the original show.
(I am not a fan of Picard or Discovery, largely because I feel they don’t have the elements I liked about past shows — they are too dark and pessimistic for my tastes.)
