    Right? And why focus on one character instead of the crew? There is no “main character” in Star Trek. It’s just another example of how Rodenberry’s vision has been bastardized beyond recognition.

      What are you talking about? What about Tilly, what about Engineer Stamets married to Doctor Culber, Saru, Captain Lorca(Terran Infiltrator), Christopher Pike, Spock, Sarek, Georgiou, Cleveland Booker, his cat, the future admiral, all of future Starfleet, all of the people affected by the burn… Like what are you talking about. What about pike seeing how he was meant to die. In a chair where he could only beep and was mutilated until he was nearly unrecognizable, how are you going to twist that into a story about “the main character”.

        As far as I’m concerned, Trek ended with Enterprise and the end of the Berman Era.

        It’s a stinking pile of unrecognizable garbage. It’s made by people who openly hated actual Trek.

          I disagree with all of that, especially Enterprise, I liked it but it misses on replay value. I don’t think it is unrecognizable, it applies the same Starfleet principles to new situations.

          But I will admit that I would appreciate any new view into the Starfleet universe. If I get to see something new, then the Starfleet universe is ever expanding, and there is greater hope. Hope that someday that will be us, the human race, exploring the galaxy.

            I see none of the Fully Automated Gay Luxury Space Communism. It’s the opposite. It’s corporate crap produced by Nazis. Even before Ellison, Moonves was the one responsible for killing it. He hated Star Trek, the guy who kept a permanent employee and office for a full time blowjob woman.

            Star Trek died that day. What’s left is a disgusting corpse being dragged around by their killer, like some macabre marionette.
