Comment on Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous
lucidinferno@lemmy.world 10 months agoEpic poems such as the Iliad were the preferred storytelling methods at one time, yet society had little issue with building upon that as they left it behind. It’s one thing to prefer something, and another to say that because something was once one way, that’s how it always should be. Things change and hopefully improve. Kind of the main theme of Trek.

However, the message of Trek also is that not all change is good, already evident in the M5 episode of TOS. There’s no shame in taking a step back if the prior state was superior, which some think it is (with regard to the 20 episode scheme)

Good point.
