Comment on The best answer to "when did Star Trek get woke?"
kboos1@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDon’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.

Well they’re doing it wrong then. Most TNG episodes were written by freelance writers, not by the show’s main writing staff. The freelance writers sold scripts to the show and the main writing staff would polish them up for production.
A freelance writer could spend years playing around with ideas before finishing a script to send in. The show didn’t care, they had plenty of other spec scripts to choose from.
