I get it. Younger demographic, new audience. Star Trek is no longer made for me. I understand that, and I get it.

But…

Regardless of who it’s made for, regardless of who the target audience is, there came a point in Star Trek history (ahem…2009) when they stopped making somthing designed to be “Star Trek” and starting making “X…with a Star Trek Theme applied on top”.

That’s why SNW was (at least until the latest season), a breath of fresh air; because it dared to be a “Star Trek…with a Star Trek Theme applied on top.”

Hell…Discovery tried to be “EVERYTHING ABOVE…with a Star Trek Theme applied on top” depending on the season.

I get it. Chase the audience. But it’s maddening.
