>That too. And the insistence on total serialization. Entire seasons of STD and SPIC are that "ten episode movie" format that does not lend itself well to rewatches. Only SNW is episodic in the traditional sense but it's very twee and shitty remakes of existing stories
It's fine to have an overarching plot, but the majority of the shows should be episodic. They wanted to make a prestige show, which trek is too fantastical for anyway. They ended up making a prestige show for no one. Serious TV fans aren't going to flock to nutrek and the majority of the shows are just browbeating trekkies for believing in progress. Fucking picard was made for people who obsess over tng and wanted all the characters to be miserable in their own age, or put another way, it was a show for people who don't exist
