    [We’re going to keep going. We genre hop]

    WTF?? No do NOT genre hop. That is always when sci-fi goes down hill. If you don’t wish to do proper Star Trek, then resign and go do something else!

    edit:

    I can’t believe Paramount fucked up yet another Star Trek series by putting the wrong people in charge again! Now I don’t even care about Season 3. I don’t want to watch “Soap Opera in Space”. I want to watch science fiction and Star Trek stories.

      Even TOS and TNG genre hopped. Comedy episodes. Horror episodes. Mystery episodes. Espionage episodes. It’s part of what makes it great.

        TOS was Wagon Train to the Stars, not Soap Opera in Space. TOS and TNG did not do any musicals. If they had it would have killed Trek right then.

          They should have. Patrick Stewart would have absolutely killed in a musical episode.
