An excellent thread on why to save Star Trek: Prodigy
(via https://twitter.com/NerdForce5/status/1686121027405819905)
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.
