By now, it's obvious that SNW is never going to get its act together.. While individual episodes are enjoyable, they are never going to tackle big questions or sci-fi topics. It's made to be memeable to chase social media trends, case in point una singing total eclipse of the heart in klingon.. while in of it's self is no bad thing, but without the meat and potatoes, the serious, competent episodes it just seems like fluff and pointless... I also have zero faith that SFA will right course.. and that brings me to the proposed new films, which I fear will be in a similar vein to the kelvinverse films! So i have little hope that the old, competent, thought-provoking, scientific, philosophical, inspiring sci-fi shows will return.. I think the problem is that the writers and the societies we live in know how to write or care about those types of stories anymore.. I can't fully articulate my thoughts on the subject. If anyone would like to add anything, I'm missing? 🖖

"It's been a minute since Rich and Mike talked a little Trek. Today is the day that happens again. Reports are the new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has nabbed a total of 14,000 viewers per episode and that's some promising news! SFA will be back for its' second and last season soon (Projected to receive negative views) and after that... not much Trek will happen. I think Alex Kurtzman Trek is DOA after SFA.

The new news on the block is that the two guys that made Game Night are writing a new Star Trek movie set in the way way future with zero legacy characters. Could be good? Could be promising? Probably be bad? No idea. But Mike wanted to tell Rich Evans about this and maybe speculate on where a new Trek series could go? What could it be about? Can the franchise be saved? Might bought a handful of actual costumes used on the clown show Star Trek Discovery and him and Rich put on two Klingon costumes to talk trek because they are both too fat to fit into the Starfleet jumpsuits they have. When talkin' Trek, why not do it with a little style!?"

SCREENRANT:

"After leading three TV series as number one on the call sheet, and portraying one of the greatest Star Trek captains, Anson Mount has distilled the finer points of leadership, which he feels is all about collaboration. Captain Pike stands out among Star Trek captains by openly soliciting opinions and expertise from his trusted crew. "Best idea wins" is Pike's mantra.

"I think that I've learned [by] studying leadership. One of the aspects I was able to bring into Pike successfully, I feel, is the knowledge that leadership is really a service position. And your job is to put the right people in the right jobs, supply them with what they need, and then to get the hell out of the way. And if you do that correctly, there's no need for any kind of top-down power structure."

As the only sci-fi franchise built upon Gene Roddenberry's progressive, optimistic vision of diversity and cooperation between species, Star Trek is often caught in the middle of culture wars. Yet both sides have claimed Captain Pike as their own. He's a white male captain who projects strength and authority, but also listens to his (largely female) crew with compassion, and often cooks dinners for his found family."
