The thing is, Star Trek from its inception has been a positive message of hope foreshadowing a bright future for the human race contingent on a number of things. Namely, humans as a whole being openminded and understanding in all things from social matters to science. But that open-mindedness and understanding was always tethered and encouraged by a morality formed through caring about other people and caring for them above the self.
Now, Star Trek’s “vision” has decayed into something dark, negative, hopeless and seedy. I believe this is because the hacks writing it are themselves these things and the root of such feelings are the antithesis to what formed the morality of Star Trek, the concern for others above the self. So that morality is gone and all that is left is an insidious focus on self destroying Star Trek as we know it.
How many episodes of TNG, DS9 or Voyager were about self sacrifice? Without that concept would there have even been the iconic moment when Spock gives up his life to save the ship? Would there have been a following movie when those on the ship decide to give of themselves to in turn save Spock? No.
In summary, the no talent ass clowns writing current Trek have stabbed at the very heart of what made Star Trek, Star Trek. And in doing so murdering it for the foreseeable future until it might hopefully one day be resurrected by some group with actual talent and a true sense of understanding beyond the self.
