![]() That’s why STD got cancelled and that’s why this news is being met with such joyous jubilation all over the net. If I wanted a grim, dystopian future with lots of pointless action scenes, I’d watch Star Wars or any of the dozens of similar sci-fi shows. Sure, there were conflicts and bad choices, but they were dealt with in a mature and philosophical manner, exploring both sides of the issue before coming to a competent resolution to a complex moral quandary. But the whole purpose of Star Trek from the get go was an optimistic and positive future with a competent and mature humanity taking its place in the wider galactic community. There’s nothing wrong with diversity and progressive politics, every TOS and TNG episode was a flawless masterclass in this respect. I’ve never heard anyone say “wow, that Tilly character, I wish I had her bubbly incompetence”, or “that self-centered, insubordinate, mutinous, convicted criminal Michael Burnham never faces any consequences for her terrible choices and always seems to be crying in every episode – she’s such a positive role model for young girls”. No one wishes to live in the dark, grim, dystopian future it portrays. In contrast, no one identifies with any of STD’s characters. When I watched TNG in the 90’s I actually wanted to be Geordi, I longed to have Riker’s charisma, I dreamed of having Picard’s calm and authoritative presence – I could hardly wait for the future to finally get here. STD was just a horrible show with horrible characters and a horrible premise. I’ll sum up the main problem with STD in just one short observation: a bridge crew member died and to this day no one cares or even remembers her name. Paramount+ will celebrate the show’s legacy at key events over the following 12 months, according to Deadline. “This final season will see our beloved crew take on a new adventure, and we can’t wait to celebrate the series’ impact on the franchise leading up to its final season early next year.” She continued, “The series and its incredible cast and creatives ushered in a new era for Star Trek when it debuted over six years ago, embracing the future of streaming with serialized storytelling, bringing to life deep and complex characters that honor Gene Roddenberry’s legacy of representing diversity and inclusion, and pushing the envelope with award-winning world-building.
