Apoligies for the delayed response. Had to get my thoughts together after having a “drop of the cratur” as it were. Post evening shenanigans warranted review.

My complaints regarding Kurtzman are varied. He’s the pupil of JJ, notorious for pomp and mystery without any regard for a fleshed out plan.

Past that, his run came about during a block of plot by too many cooks. Coming off of that, there’s a thicket of checking off whichever cultural/sexual demographics the powers that be thought needed appeasing for the illusion of inclusiveness. A low point would be when Culber got fridged in season 1 only to be resurrected in 2. The representation, while appreciated, is tinged with a sour note of committee.

From DISCO to the pending shortened end of Academy, excepting Lower Decks, show that Kurtzman’s style is that of a yes man.

The still in limbo merger has me more concerned than hopeful.

Admittedly, the “Golden Age” of Trek is stamped with Berman’s hand. Still bears heavy criticism. Likewise, Roddenberry, for all his well documented faults, gifted us with this universe that keeps us talking.
