Love the show, but not a fan of "The Burn" or the sort of dystopia it creates, did you grow up watching Trek? Is the show what you expected?
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?
