There was a time when Star Trek stood apart from just about every other sci-fi franchise on television. The video explores how the Star Trek universe has expanded over the decades and argues that, somewhere along the way, the franchise shifted its priorities. As the narrator explains: "For decades, Star Trek stood apart from every other sci-fi franchise. The video specifically points to series like Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks, arguing that many of the modern productions have embraced streaming-era expectations over the thoughtful storytelling that once defined the franchise. From Discovery and Picard to Section 31 and beyond, so much modern Star Trek has struggled to live up to the legacy Gene Roddenberry created."
