What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Star Trek Continues sticks impressively close to the style and spirit of the original series, focusing on storytelling and character development over ticking diversity boxes. Casting choices and character arcs seem motivated by narrative fit rather than ideology. Forced representation and 'Mary Sue' issues are almost nonexistent here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show respects the original’s era, handling themes of family, duty, and morality with minimal revisionism. While it occasionally touches on more modern sensibilities, it mainly honors traditional values depicted in the classic Star Trek. No apparent attempts to subvert or mock traditional gender roles or foundational culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Star Trek generally leans toward optimism and progressivism, Star Trek Continues avoids heavy-handed modern ideology. Alternative perspectives aren’t villainized or ridiculed, and there’s room for debate, true to the spirit of the 1960s show. The show doesn’t feel like an ideological echo chamber.
