I remember hearing it levelled at the first season of Discovery and then hearing that the later seasons were going to safe which, like, I can imagine that being a gigantic headache for those involved (combined with other stuff like corporate mandates and literally everything that caused the actors and writers strikes to happen). I've seen it levelled at every new Trek property since 2009. Trek's "thing" has always been disguising moral, ethical, or philosophical tales as a simple sci-fi show. Perhaps too well-disguised, given the propensity of certain types of people to ask why it's gone woke all of a sudden. Kelvin movies aside, which were more or less straight action movies, it does still do that – albeit sometimes being a bit too on-the-nose – but at least has tried to freshen things up by presenting it in new ways, be it as an adult animated comedy, kid-orientated animated drama, or "prestige"-style serialised seasons. Really, only Strange New Worlds has stuck with the tried-and-tested formula, and has done so with great acclaim from both critics and the fandom.

Anyway….this should literally be Police Academy where citizens are forced to enlist against their will and really shake up the system Just go the whole way and have... A wisecracking Mahoney type human. An android who can imitate sounds. A big Klingon who is really a gentle giant. A soft spoken Vulcan who when provoked has a ferocious temper. A phaser obsessed virgin. An accident prone guy. An ex space gangster who can't speak properly. A sex bomb with enormous tits. A sadistic academy captain. Proctor.

Great! That's what I hoped for and I'm glad that's the case. As much as the debate around Discovery travelling to that period is still up in the air, if you're going to do a new Star Trek show involving new recruits, you might as well put it somewhere that's still trying to reestablish itself after *waves arms around to hide Discovery spoilers* and have it be, for a lack of a better word, a discovery for those involved. I dig it!
