"modern wokeness", ah, yes. Because the show about religion as a means of control, that featured strong women throughout, was broadly about how colonialism is bad and the importance of respecting different cultures, that brute force was almost never the 'right answer' is anti-woke.

I'm on season 6 of a rewatch with family right now, and I will say that one of the things I had not remembered was just how much of the time brute force IS the right answer in this show.
Many classic scenes like the P90 demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjlCVW_ouL8

Or Carter's literal first scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi4lt-17OxE

And so on

All the women roles were reasonable back then. Actual characters you could get behind. Now it’s going to be some nonsense like an all woman crew every one of them aping male behavior. It’s off putting and something most men would have a hard time watching.
For example, look at all the recent Star Trek series; they have been an abomination, and are rightfully canceled.
State, don't insinuate.
I’ve seen those shows and still don’t know what you mean. Since you didn’t mean the other stuff you’ll need to be more explicit
Ah, yes. That great anti-woke series Star Trek.
