    These people seem determined to do pretty much anything they can do with Star Trek except Star Trek.

      its crazy, right? They have so much to work with but they avoid it. Just give us a MOW series with some moral bullshit but keep everybody professional.. yada yada yada. You think they'd just blend...

      You think they'd just blend TNG, DS9, and VOY and take the best bits and barf it out and win Emmys.

        As someone who has steadfastly avoided subscribing to Paramount+ and thus all of the new trek stuff, I wonder how much politics has to play with it? Perhaps in a world where fascism is on the rise, tales of a progressive essentially communist society are considered risky, to put things mildly.

        That, and the trend of shows being made for second screen viewing probably doesn’t mesh well with the commonly philosophic approach of trek classic.

          Which is ironic cause TNG, DS9, VOY are all perfect shows to have on in the background as it's mostly dialogue.

            off the main topic, but that first bit of Picard with the super fast transporting fight stuff --- I really thought we were going to be in for an amazing series... then the rest happened. That first bit was so wicked, though.

            Overall, Lower Decks is the strongest of the new properties. Most of SNW was great -- but I didn't like when they started goofing around too much.

            Hopefully Ellison will yell at some people and steer the ship in the right direction.
