Gene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave right now. Any semblance of the hopeful future that Gene envisioned for humanity has been irreversibly tainted by this so called edgy spectacle. This show is Star Trek in name only. I think the most egregious part of this show is how they have taken one of the finest examples of a fictional character ever created (JLP) and destroyed his legacy. I read several articles where Patrick Stewart was excited to do the show because he thought "there was something special there". Well with all due respect to Mr Stewart (whom I admire greatly and will watch anything he performs in) who by his own admission isn't a Star Trek or a science fiction fan. Why is it so difficult for CBS or Paramount to find an actual fan of the franchise to write these shows? Where are the Okudas? Where are the folks who took pride in creating and continuing Gene's legacy? Whatever at this point I can literally vote with my wallet and choose not to give CBS any of my money. Congratulations CBS, you have successfully hammered the final nail into the Star Treks coffin.
