> Kurtzman Star Trek is not really Star Trek in any spiritual sense, it’s a vessel for political messaging (they’ve pretty much said as much)
replySo was most of Roddenberry, Piller, et al., Star Trek. At its low ebb in Braga Star Trek, but even then...
AFAICT, Star Trek has ALWAYS been a vessel for political messaging.
replyNot really. It had a strong perspective on some things, and stories were occassionally commentary on real world issues, but at the end of the day Star Trek had its own viewpoint. Modern Stark Trek isn't run or written by people that are Star Trek fans, it's written by people that want to use an existing IP to attach their agenda to. They care about the agenda not the show.
