Not enough that the project was mismanaged are you expecting more demands from critics for the show to be a perfect political critique?

How would a Trek version of President Trump be different than a badly-written Ferengi? Other than Ferengi being less racist?

I joked the election was between Brunt and Janeway, and nobody in my circle knew what the hell I was talking about.

You think just putting a Trumplike someone would be good commentary that will come off great?

Acting Grand Nagus Brunt.


Ok, on a more serious note, I don't see why annoying about half their audience is a good move for CBS. Just make the bloody show!
