Haven’t seen Wagon Train either, but I’d guess Forbidden Planet and The Twilight Zone were actually bigger influences. But everything has some antecedent, no shame in that.
We’re only two episodes in, but yeah, I’d say SFA is angling for something pretty unique. Space setting aside, not many YA shows concern themselves with the nation-building of a failed state. I’m not hugely versed, but wrapping your second episode around a diplomatic conference seems pretty unusual for the genre.
I’d potentially be open to watching an original YA space IP, but I don’t consider that Star Trek, it’s just slapping a Star Trek label on a thing, which actually harms both brands.
Maybe. It’s certainly a gamble. I think it’s off to a good start, so I hope it pays off. But mine isn’t the job that’s on the line, so I’m not gonna stress about it. I just watch if it interests me.

Sure, but TOS is soooo much more than Twilight Zone in space. Is Kurtzman Trek really more than [insert YA series] in space?
