Season 3 is just aload of woke garbage just pushing "the message". No longer funny just comes off as a very poor mans Star Trek. Loved S1@S2 but they lost me with season 3.

I watched one episode and found it crass, dull and deceptive. The episode was on gender reassignment. Two homosexual male monsters from a race of homosexual male monsters have a baby girl!!!

Two homosexual male monsters from a race of homosexual male monsters have a baby girl!!! Gender reassignment or not? Is the question the show asks. Plot twist, one of the males was actually born a female!!! Glaring failures in logic abound. A species requiring males and females to replicate will die off within a generation if the females are removed. A female cannot become a male with surgery or hormones. Every cell in the body knows if its male or female. The show puts the value of women in the dock and tries to argue they are strong and can fight like men (obviously untrue) and make major contributions to society (yes up to a point but all major modern inventions are created by men).. While ignoring the bleeding obvious that we would not exist without women. So its a show that is lying to its audience. Then I would also say the show is covertly white supremacist. The captain of the ship is white with his ex wife also white acting as his second. But they preside over a mixed group of different races and monsters. It promotes the delusion that the outnumbered few can live as they choose as cock of the hoop which is again delusional. All over the world minority populations white, or otherwise are abused and ultimately destroyed. If you want to watch deranged white supremacy and homosexual baby makers this is the show for you. Otherwise I would avoid… Expand

What a steaming pile of milquetoast garbage. There is absolutely no originality in any of this show. Everything is rehashed Star Trek storylines but homogenized into a 'safe' package while upholding patriarchy, sexism and conservative biasWhat a steaming pile of milquetoast garbage. There is absolutely no originality in any of this show. Everything is rehashed Star Trek storylines but homogenized into a 'safe' package while upholding patriarchy, sexism and conservative bias without any of the dreams of hope for humanity that Star Trek holds dear. The humor is so basic and broad, and the characters a stereotypes without nuance. They literally removed a character and brought in the exact same character to replace her. It's like if on The Next Generation they got rid of Worf and brought in Vorf. Also Seth MacFarlane can't act, he's always smirking like a fool. Oh and its super boring.… Expand

The problems here are exactly the same as "Discovery" and "Picard": endless, backwards-gazing, failed attempts to relive the glory days by rehashing old plotlines and played-out, stale ideas from previous series. This is where Star Trek goesThe problems here are exactly the same as "Discovery" and "Picard": endless, backwards-gazing, failed attempts to relive the glory days by rehashing old plotlines and played-out, stale ideas from previous series. This is where Star Trek goes to die: the most acclaimed series is... Seth Macfarlane adding "Family Guy"-style jokes to turgid, nearly word-for-word retellings of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes. If this is the series that Trek fans give "universal acclaim" per the current Metacritic score... then, indeed, just let Star Trek die already.… Expand

So many opportunities for humor in season 3, but it didn't happen! I think they may not understand their audience.... there's just not enough sophistication for sci-fi only street cred. Would love to see the comedic flair return
