Strange New Worlds - Star Trek & The Business of Risk
Added 2023-08-28 13:01:59 +0000 UTCEarnestly, I think this might be one of my favorite videos I've ever done. I went really far out on it... I may have gone too far in some places. Legit, I drove 3 hours to film at Vasquez Rocks and got a huge sunburn for this haha. But I also think it has some important things to say about not only the state of Star Trek... but much more besides. It's my classic "It's a Star Trek video, but not really about Star Trek." I'm excited for you all to see! Let me know what you think <3

Jessie, the title of the YT-released version seems to have a confusion about the word “Eugenics.” We’re thinking the word you’re looking for may be “Genetics” and that the title should be fixed since the video is really not primarily about eugenics at all. We found it extremely confusing, though the video itself is quite interesting if sprawling and unwieldy in our opinion. Please seriously consider correcting the title.

And were these really “big swings” this SNW season, or was it really a retreat into sure winners with the conservative and fringe wrong-wing crowd? Making M’Benga a drug-fueled berserker assassin (yes with Complex PTSD, but still) could be interpreted as another appeal to people who can’t abide with Roddenberry et al’s peace, love and reconciliation IDIC core principles.

2023-08-31 13:39:30 +0000 UTCWow, thank you for this! This crystallized a lot of the critiques I've had of New Trek in a more coherent way than I could think of. Also I need to state that I HATE the idea of the Section 31 series/movie. It's glorifying the space CIA. I hate that Modern Trek has rehabilitated Section 31.
