Star Trek—a franchise that famously promotes the philosophy “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”—is being accused of “becoming” too “woke.”
Last week, White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller shared a post from the X account End Wokeness that featured a short clip from the premiere episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Tragic. But it’s not too late for @paramountplus to save the franchise. Step 1: Reconcile with @WilliamShatner and give him total creative control. https://t.co/HRMDcYeBnU

The clip showed cast members Tricia Black (playing Lt. Rork), Gina Yashere (Lura Thok), and Holly Hunter (Capt. Nahla Ake). The caption read: “Star Trek 2026 … Beyond parody …”
What sparked the vitriol? Three women talking.
Miller went on to describe the current state of the Star Trek franchise as “tragic” and suggested that Paramount+ should bring back 94-year-old William Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek TV series from 1966 to 1969, offering him full creative control.
On Monday, Shatner responded. “I am so on the same page with you @StephenM!” he wrote on X.
