Its cool that, as of tonight, there will be a star trek and a serviceable parody star trek both issuing episodes. I hope that either lives gives a generation of people what tos or TNG did. and yet...

it's important too, I think, to remember that star trek never lives up to, never even routinely endorses its own ideals. it having those ideals is of great interest, but somehow acting them out goes too far. this central irony is perhaps the most interesting facet of the whole franchise.
