   A lot of people say that. I see an important difference between a show   
   about space exploration which has some social messages and a show about   
   social messages which has some space exploration.   
      
   I liked the new captain. She didn't take the role too seriously, and IMO   
   that was the point. She wasn't career military, and she thought of   
   herself more as a school dean than as a military officer. I'm not   
   against change, you see. I thought a new style of captain was a good   
   idea.   
      
   Crying gay Klingons, though? They're not Klingons any more. That's not   
   so much a change as a complete gutting of the concept. There's an   
   important difference between updating an old property and adding a bunch   
   of crazy crap that doesn't make any sense.
