CNet:
Someone working for the US Space Force must be a Trekkie. Star Trek fans say a new logo is a direct ripoff of Star Trek's Starfleet Command logo.
President Donald Trump revealed the new logo for the Space Force on Friday via Twitter.
[...]As soon as it was posted, eagle-eyed Star Trek fans responded, pointing out the logo's similarities to the Starfleet Command logo. The arrow, the swirl around the arrow, the star background and text placement are almost identical.
Cultural references and inspirations are only allowed for the right people?

It's an analogy for Trump and Brexit, [thedailybeast.com] it's supposed to be crap. Give the man some dignity FFS!

The synth attack on Mars was 9/11 all over again. America has been fascist since 9/11; we don't need another poorly written reminder, and only a short-sighted idiot would cite Trump as the start of fascism.

More like:
Romulans were suffering from a natural disaster = Syrian drought
Federation failing to assist = NATO's US, EU and UK ignoring the problem
Mars stepping in = Turkey borders opening up the EU
Synths bombing the Romulan evacuation fleet on Mars = Syrian civil war escalating to attacks on Turkey
Romulan refugees scattered all over with two living and working in Picard's French vineyard since no one in authority is willing to help = Obvious enough...
compiling...

More like stop looking for exact real world matches and judge the ideal on its merits. More often than not analogies in fiction draw from several sources that have influenced the writer's thought process.

Like your fake news post that had you screeching like a dying parrot about the "Authoritarian Left!"
So let's see, your inspiration was: stupidity, lack of education, and lack of research. Oh, and a love of Trump's trolling methods where he lies and then lies some more.
Maybe you should stick to criticizing yourself, you'll probably have better luck.

Maybe you should stop spouting things that have already been proven false.

So does it suck or not? My money's on "Yes, it does suck." Even back in Nemesis Patrick Stewart constantly looked like he was drunk and slammed out, like a guy waking up from a 5-day bender.
I'm not surprised that there's yet another Trek show out, I am surprised that he is the center of it. I'm guessing the Jews gave it to him as a reward for publicly jumping on the anti-Trump bandwagon. I'm also guessing they're taking advantage of his senility, he really should appoint somebody with power of attorney and have that person make these decisions for him.
I'd rather we get a show about Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Lian -- We don't have to deal with any obnoxious politics coming from their mouths because they get their jobs from Jewish producers coming in their mouths.

Nah, it's pretty damned good. Think the best work by Sir Pat in TNG and the movies, along with better special effects. So far the writing's damned good too but there's only one episode to judge by.
