You have a point, but it got lost in the assholery of your reply. I too long for a little more of the hard SciFi and morality tales of Star Trek. The writers/producers try too hard to explore characters & relationships rather than the cool things that we can see/learn while exploring the galaxy - - all those strange new worlds.

I'm a bit older than you and gotta disagree one one point. The 50s was NOT an optomistic time for American SciFi. With the exception of "Forbidden Planet", which heavily influenced TOS, 50s SciFi was dominated by paranoia, repression & fatalism. There were monsters under every rock. Our inability to control ourselves and our technology was dooming our future. The early 60s TOS was an optomistic breath of fresh air. Maybe we wouldn't blow ourselves up after all
Longer seasons would allow them to throw in a few SciFi oriented episodes that don't necessarily advance character arcs. Where would SNW be if TOS didn't have the "Arena" (Gorn) episode that was based on a completely unrelated SciFi short story?
Mirror, Mirror was a SciFi episode that not only gave us the foundation for Discovery, but cemented the evil-twin-goatee trope into pupular culture.
Space Seed (Botany Bay/Khan) was also a one-off SciFi episode. Where would the entire franchise be without it?
I really hope SNW makes room for exploring the sort of SciFi ideas that Star Trek was originally based on.

We thought the /s wasn't necessary on Lemmy. But this comment disproves it.

Yes. Too bad he had all those guns within easy reach.

No one said "most gun owners". You're trying to shift the argument to something you have a chance with.

When you've collected 47 hammers. All your problems begin to look like nails.
It's the "enshitification cycle".
I still can't believe they threw away all that free labor.
Lol, older millenials never saw the early internet experience. UUCP, FTP, Gopher, Mosaic, et al.
Boomer, here. The fediverse is the first thing I've seen that has the potential to replace the old USENET (also a federated system). Unfortunately, Lemmy has similar weaknesses/vulnerabilities to USENET which was destroyed by SPAM, high resource (compute, bandwidth, admin time...), and an influx of newbs (AoL).
Like reddit, Lemmy discourages long lived threads, which is unfortunate. But the longer Lemmy remains the home of linux geeks, the better, IMHO. I don't have a burning need to see the newest pop culture memes.
A little bit of Kirk us enough for this show. I'd really hate to see home become a major character. I also wonder why they cast a Jim Carrey doppelganger as James T. Kirk?
