In interviews, producers, writers and actors have gleefully declared they consider st:pee a mere vehicle. Thus, they could use any show at all to carry their trendy message. So they watched clips of Star Trek on YouTube as 'research', and wrote a lazy, preachy drama about an apology-tour by an old man. To try and hoodwink the rubes (that's us), they sprinkle in old faces - despite swearing before the show premiered they would not do that. (Lying? No, foolish peon, this is 'reprioritizing the narrative,'). Remember when it was going to be a character-driven show? No space battles, no gratuitous murders? That lasted what, 15 minutes into the first episode? The Hand of Kutzman has woven straw into... excremental. Again. Forget it. In five years, this will have sunk without a trace. As it deserves.
