    There will always be disasters, and suffering, and unfortunate events, and there certainly have been throughout Star Trek, but I too would prefer we had more protopian sci-fi.

    I think SFA is actually trying to be more light and positive and less serious and dramatic, vs Disco for example. SNW seemed to make that intentional shift as well. And I think that’s also why other ST properties like Lower Decks and Prodigy are so highly rated.

    SFA started out pretty dark, and I immediately went ‘yuck’… But again, I think they are working their way towards something better. Reopening the Academy is kind of a reboot for the Federation, so it’ll probably be getting better still.

    I wonder what kind of insight Karim has into this, that he can share?
