an optimistic future.

Thanks for the reminder of what Star Trek should be. That's been lost as of late.

Picard has several speeches in TNG about the pain and struggle humanity went through to get where they were by then. I recall Kirk had a couple too. The appeal of Star Trek was the idea of a future where we're past all that and now it's time to explore new worlds. New Trek barely touches on new worlds at all. It's all about waaaar, weapons, explosions!

Instead of trying to be more like media that's already about all that stuff, would have been nice to make a show that was good enough to win over new fans with the established values of the Star Trek universe.

I can't wait for the 7th Heaven reboot written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

"Hey, you guys ever notice how I'll see a movie, snap, think I'm one of the characters in the movie, and then go and dress myself up that way?"

"Hm. I don't think you do that any more than the rest of us."

Thank you so much for this insight!
