    In the hypothetical scenario that I presented, star trek never existed and was created for the first time in contemporary times.

    Strange New Worlds doesn’t fit in this discussion because star trek was already created in 1966 and this is a prequel/spin-off of that series

      So by “original Star Trek” you’re actually referring to a fundamentally different series. This hypothetical version of Star Trek magically keeps everything you like about it, while shedding anything problematic or downright bad.

      The lengths anyone on this site will go to avoid admitting that they made a stupid hot take comment is wild.
