Star Trek’s Returning Star Hits Back at Criticism of Divisive Spinoff Series – Comic Book Resources (CBR)
By Sam Fang, Published 2 days ago
Sam Fang primarily covers news for CBR, with over a decade of experience writing about entertainment and pop culture and degrees in both journalism and art.
One of Star Trek‘s veteran actors who returned for its divisive new spinoff, Starfleet Academy, is speaking out against criticisms of the show. Robert Picardo recently talked with fans on social media about the show’s backlash.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Picardo shared a newspaper image published from the time his previous Star Trek project, Voyager, went to air. “It is interesting to note that @StarTrek #Voyager, so beloved in retrospect, was thought “woke” (“politically correct” was the term way back then) at its premiere,” Picardo wrote. The post generated plenty of dialogue with Star Trek fans regarding Starfleet Academy, which has been incredibly divisive among fans, and Picardo took the time to further share his thoughts with the naysayers.

— Robert Picardo (@RobertPicardo) January 18, 2026One person replied to the post, claiming to have an “insider at CBS”, claiming that “Alex Kurtzman, behind the scenes, is intentionally turning it into a political lecture”, which Picardo responded to. “I know Alex Kurtzman. I work with him. I know what you were saying is not true about his motives. But my point remains: if you have a better vision, bring it to the table. You are a writer with a lot of experience and science fiction. Turn your back on what you don’t like and create something with your vision.”
Picardo also took the time to share one of his own experiences of being offended by entertainment earlier in life, responding to a fan who also criticized Kurtzman’s era of Star Trek. “I remember refusing to see THE GODFATHER,” Picardo wrote. “Being 100% Italian American, I thought it promoted negative stereotypes. I prejudged it and refused to watch it for years. Now it is my favorite movie.”
He went on to share how disheartening it was to read people tearing the show down rather than just not watching the new Star Trek installment if it wasn’t to their liking. “Here it is, simply. I miss the days when, if you didn’t like a TV show, you simply didn’t watch it. What I find sad about this present moment, is that people who don’t like a television show make it their mission to keep others from watching it, to attack it round the clock, to destroy it,” he shared.
“This isn’t a football game. This isn’t a zero sum battle to the death. This is freedom of choice in entertainment. Aren’t there more positive ways to spend your energy than simply trying to destroy someone else’s creative effort?” Picardo continued, “If you are certain you can do better, write a pitch and take it to CBS-Paramount. You have writing talent and credentials. Invest all of the time spent in trying to tear something down into trying to build something new. I promise you I’ll watch it.”

I was permanently banned on Thundr in Second Life just for saying I want to connect only with creators. They assume rule-breaking instead of respecting freedom of choice. Users shouldn’t be punished for seeking like-minded people. #FreedomOfChoice #UnfairBan #SecondLife #Thundr

"So if we just go, 'well it works for everybody, or almost everybody, therefore you need to fit in', there's a higher risk of that person being discriminated against. The flipside being, if we do make changes and adaptations for everybody, so that there's choice ...
... the more choice there is available in any given context, the less risk there is of discrimination."

Sophia Rosenfeld's 3,300-word magnum opus on the "explosion of choice" is here to remind us that too many ice cream flavors might just be ruining our lives. 🤯 Apparently, freedom now means drowning in options like it's a philosophical buffet with no exit sign. 🙄🛍️

"Whip It" is a song by American #newWave band #Devo from their third studio album #FreedomOfChoice (1980). It is a new wave and #synthpop song that features a #synthesizer, electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums in its instrumentation. The apparently nonsensical lyrics have a common theme revolving around the ability to deal with one's problems by "whipping it". Co-written by bassist #GeraldCasale and lead vocalist #MarkMothersbaugh.

#Abtreibung - #Polens paradoxer Weg
"A history full of contradictions, a country trapped behind the Iron Curtain, ruled by a totalitarian, repressive regime, where #abortion rights had existed since 1956, long before #France, #Britain, or #Sweden. A country that took away this #freedom in 1993, just as it became a #democracy."
Wieder was gelernt.

How absurd would you find it if:
📞 a T-mobile customer couldn’t call someone with Vodafone?
✉️ a Gmail user couldn’t email someone with Hotmail?🤔 Would you think: “This is absolutely unacceptable!”
And yet we accept this when it comes to:
🎥 Not being able to video call from MS Teams to someone using Google Meet.
💬 Sending messages from a WhatsApp client to a Signal user.Why don’t we demand:

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyGenerationMusic. I was born in April of 1980, and there were SEVERAL great albums that came out that year.
But my top choice for that year has to be DEVO.
Devo released their third record Freedom of Choice in May 1980 with the magical song (and my favorite song on the album) 'Gates of Steel' opening up its second side.

Way back at the start of 2022, I wrote an essay on one of my favorite weirdo post-punk bands, DEVO, and how they took aim at consumer culture in their art and music yet were still subsumed by capitalism, their dissent commodified.
It seems oddly relevant now, as the birdsite collapses and we all recognize the #SmartPower it exerted on us.
