The better question is: “When did the Star Trek writers forget how to do their jobs?”
Seriously, New Trek has the most garbage-tier writing I’ve seen in a while. It’s all just flashy effects and dumb characters. Old Trek had really interesting story lines that made you think, now New Trek treats the audience like we’re idiots.
It’s not that they forgot to write it’s more likely that they don’t have the time, have an asshole production team that push metrics in their throat (the Paramount family is particularly racist but prefer money over their racism) and every good writers have been laid off for attempting unionization.
It’s sad but Star Trek is in its Enshitification phase and is going on and on and on …
Don’t have time? 90s Trek had 20+ episode seasons and a season every year, current Trek is 6 or 8 episodes every two years. While the production quality has gotten better, the writing has somehow gotten worse.
The time isn’t invest on the writing.
