I still count myself as a huge Star Trek fan, but if you want to understand why I, like so many other long-term Trekkies, have lost interest in the program over the last decade or so, then I thoroughly recommend watching this Dave Cullen vlog. Cullen is spot on: since the 2009 reboot, Star Trek has lost it’s way, getting bogged down with ‘alternative timelines’ and ‘mirror universes’, playing around with cannon, and rewriting fan-favourite characters like Spock to the extent that they become nearly unrecognisable. Frankly, the franchise is a mess, and apart from Picard I haven’t bothered watching the latest few series. However, it’s good to see that I’m not alone in this, as it would seem that most Trekkies want to see the return of the kind of star Trek most of us grew up with: Stories about a set of interesting, well written characters going out and exploring the final frontier.
