Can you please elaborate a bit more, because I really didn't like discovery and I don't want to be disappointed again.

    It’s much more focused on the emotional development and relationships between the characters. Academy feels like a teen drama, which isn’t something I liked even when I was a teenager.

    Academy is basically Harry Potter in Space.

    That’s exactly what the showrunners were going for.

    which is exactly why Star Trek needs new showrunners.

    I think one of the problems a lot of franchises face is that there’s one, singular showrunner.

    Why not open it up to multiple people, all able to tell different stories the way they want? Let a million Star Trek flowers bloom, I say.
