Did you give Strange New Worlds a shot? In my opinion in its core it holds the old values of Star Trek.

Whereas previously, it seemed to be treated as more of a case of it being the actions of a lot of bad eggs within the Federation.

That`s a good observation.

Thank you. I really liked the second episode so far and I think I can live with a federation that finds back to its former values.

The Star Wars flipping back and forth from Republic to Empire over the millennia makes sense.

Star Wars society is a constant shithole. I don't think the slaves of Tatooine care about if the senate or the emperor rules.

A fall of a galactic empire makes sense.

It does, but this is not the plot of a single show but a constant theme in most of the new series.

So, you jumped on the conclusion that you don’t like any recent Star Trek series

Not at all. I love Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.

yet you insist on criticizing every decision

I am not criticizing "a decision", I am criticizing a trend.

so fuck it didn’t read it at all

Which would be very wise, because otherwise I would waste even more of my time.

Do you truly want the answers you claim to seek?

Yes, because that would help me to decide if I am just wasting my time, continuing with the show. But don't bother. Other, kinder people have already been much more helpful then you.

Right! Totally forgot about Lower Decks. Awesome!

Rehabilitation implying the sentence is not a life long sentence.

I was talking about the sentence for Nus Braka. Maybe I'm just a crazy communist but in my depiction of a better world society knows better ways to deal with criminals then to just lock them up.

It wasn’t a “Drumhead” type trial

I don't know what your perspective on fair trials is, but a single judge rushing into the chambers, asking the felon 2 questions and immediately declaring the sentence. No attorneys, no hearing. That's some North Korean shit.

Thank you. That gives me hope I can enjoy the show. But I still don't get the necessity to turn the federation into a dystopian shithole even for a short time. Also, this seems to me just like the Picard spin all over again. Some bad event suddenly turns the Federation into a malicious society and now they have to amend...

Thanks. I gave it a shot.

Fair point. That's why Star Trek shows usually don't play at the federation but on far away planets.

I get you. Utopia does't seem very probable. But it was nice to have at least one single franchise that commits to it.

but not everyone on earth owns a fucking vineyard

That's the very reason I don't like the Picard show as well. No one is supposed to own a vineyardfor themselves in Star Trek Earth. DS9 did a good depiction of life on earth with Benjamin Siskos dad who just loves cooking and provides a restaurant for everyone.
