    @ValueSubtracted I feel like the writers were visibly struggling with being painted into a corner by some extent by TOS, which would have been progressive for the 60s but backwards by the 90s. With a side order of being stuck, depending on market, with following or competing on another channel against Baywatch (mostly reruns but still).

      TOS was famously a flop in the market, cancelled and then brought back by popular demand with a letter writing campaign. Which shows how important it is to let writers stick to their vision and what makes them creatively happy.
