Noticed that I am extremely tuned out of media discussions bc of Maoism-Autism mao-shining , but that sometimes I need to engage products, because I can't be picky about the battlefields. Vidya was a maladaptive coping mechanism for [fun and exciting] childhood kermit-pain spamsus for me, so I view old stuff with a distorted perspective and new stuff, I neither have the money nor the time for anything RPG or timesink wise. Same for anime, shows, movies and other stuff.

Now I don't want to be left out of these convos entirely but is there any way to get back up on what a cultural product was about, preferably in-depth and critically?

    I agree with your general point but in this specific case I would stay the fuck away from anyone praising any of the nuTrek shows unironicaly and unequivocaly, even RLM who were positive about Picard S3 will eventually look back in shame like they did with their Force Awakens review years later guaranteed.

      he's pretty down on later seasons of disco and especially season 2 and 3 of picard. I don't agree with some of his framework but he cusses out conservatives fairly frequently and that's cathartic even if he doesn't think alex kurtzman deserves to die.
