This is why sequels are shit. Every studio will take every moderately successful franchise and milk it until we hate it. Movies are generally a better medium because it's easier to pretend the sequels don't exist, but the fuckers sure will try to do it to that medium too.

Roddenberry plugged the SJW shit of his era into episodes all the time. Kirk kissing Uhura in TOS, making capitalists the main villains in TNG, then promptly making them a joke because he couldn’t bring himself to depict a capitalist as competent. Plus I have a gut feeling that he probably personally diddled a young Wil Wheaton, which is why that beta faggot ended up the way he is now.

If not Roddenberry, someone else in the management.
As far as the capitalist villains go. Ferengi ended up more of a Jew stereotype than anything lulz.

TNG is good. Lt Commander Data is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time.

Q is my favorite. Data is 2nd imho.

I gave it more time and realized that marketing pukes and associate producers ruined what is actually a very thoughtful story arc.
Within a few episodes of that one, they go really deep into those Klingon characters and they also do "parallel universe with evil kirk" which is more campy and fun.
So while clearly the SJW and the idiotic stunt they pulled where they took a knee is juvenile - blame the actors and the producers. But the writers and special effects are top notch, and the story is fun once all their crazy emotional baggage is sidelined.
You cannot escape identity politics. It is the old guards primary method of control right now. But it is failing.

The Orville has SJW shit in it too

I tried to watch the first episode. Unwatchable. I was bored and annoyed within the first 15 mins.

I thought surely they'd kill off the black girl or something. Terribly annoying actor and the character is also just poorly written. But nope, apparently she's the hero.

It goes back to the whole thing of the left can't meme. They can't write memes, they can't write scripts.
