>instead of viewing this trailblazing work of art as an inspiration to become more imaginative and creative with their own projects, TV and film producers see it as a cash cow and spend the next 60+ yeas turning it into a "franchise" and milking every drop of it long after the dead horse is capable of offering anything exciting or unique
poor gene. he was simply too successful for his own good.

I actually thought SNW came close to actually being Trek and not just nuTrek slop. Then I rewatched s3 and the Vulcan episode broke my delusions. I won't even pick on the obvious camp bullshit like a musical episode, I'm talking about basic character and writing in the episodes, Trek knowledge in general.
Somehow the injections to make them Vulcans even change their hairstyles. Even though it takes a lifetime for a Vulcan to master logic and not be overwhelmed by emotion, they're doing the worst "fascinating" type Vulcan parodies immediately. One of them even turns Romulan (because they're genetically predetermined to be violent and conspiratorial I guess? What the fuck is the lesson here?). Not only plot rape, but some of the worst Vulcan acting ever put to film, everyone's a fucking cartoon character. It did give me some respect for nu-Spock though, he's at least in the right ballpark.

Basically they encountered some anomaly that makes everyone sing and dance or some shit, so you get this garbage. And the retarded thing is that they could have retained some dignity by making the klingons perform a klingon opera but no, you get this shit instead.

I was surprised when I watched a few episodes of Star Trek for the first time and found out it's actually hardly about space and shit at all, but more like... whatever they wanted really. Society and the future and shit. I can't say I was a big fan, but it blew my mind because I had grown up assuming Star Trek was just a lame version of Star Wars, but it was very much not.

Prodigy season 1 was good, somehow combining its two goals to great affect.
Goal 1: teach new, younger viewers about the basics of Star Trek. By doing do, they had to actually... stick to the basics of Star Trek. None of the inane plots and terrible writing found in other nutrek.
Goal 2: use references and past lore WELL, not as a jokey deluge of unoriginality like in Lower Decks. In particular, Prodigy's a stealth sequel to Voyager.
Season 2 shits the bed with an absolutely terrible plot and writing, and culminates in the baffling desicion to directly link itself, partially targeted towards younger viewers, with fucking PICARD of all thingd.
