My Kids love #StarTrekProdigy, and I am so sick of #DarkTrek. I just want #StarTrek that I can watch with the whole family.

I used to watch Star Trek with my dad and family several times a week while growing up, and I'd love to do that with my kids now. We are sorely lacking #Kids #SciFi

@jdavidnet @billmason @startrek SF is always a product of its time. But I am with you, way too much of both fiction and film are too dark, angry, depressing and ugly.

For another stark example, compare 2001 and 2010.

@rdviii @jdavidnet @billmason @startrek My favorite example of that is the shift between Alien and Aliens. Alien, which came out before Reagan was elected, was a single alien hunting everyday people while (after) Aliens was a squad of ubermenchen hunting a horde of aliens.

@Harrison I was thinking more of the movies here, but I did read the third book but not the fourth. Long time ago now...

@jdavidnet @rdviii @billmason @startrek I'd watch a Space:1999 remake too. That show caused a world shortage of beige for years.

Have you considered the $20 they’d need to pay the writers and actors over the next decade? Think of the poor profits.
