Talk all you like...  I'm not one for getting bent out of shape on spoilers. 

I'm somewhere around Episode 5 for this I think.. maybe further.  Its not a bad season overall.  I wasn't super into the middle seasons of this.. ie. the alternate universe crap.  I can tolerate it on a single or double episode level but I've never liked it much.  A whole season of it is a bit of a turn off for me.  I also found the 'wokeness' of it to be a bit overbearing in this show.  I get it..  we're accepting of lgbt etc. in the future.. for the most part, we are in the 21st century as well with caviats.   Wouldn't it just be a non issue tho?  Like sure.. so and so is trans..  but why make a story around it. Wouldn't we be so past all that bullshit that we wouldn't just  have someone trans or non binary walking around without having to make note of it? or at least making note of it when coming into contact with a species that has those attributes.  

Without bringing a debate to the table for the community, I just kinda think that in the future we wouldn't go looking for that information.   It just seems like Hollywood pandering to me as opposed to useful story.  I'm sure thats gonna get me called a bigot in some circles but whatever.  I'm not..  so anyone who wants to throw that crap around can gladly keep it to themselves. It really is OK to question things and still not look down on them.
