The other thing to remember is that ST:TOS ran for 3 years, airing 79 episodes. To expect the writers to get it right EVERY SINGLE TIME is probably unreasonable (see "Walking Dead" threads). Star Wars had 3 movies, each about 2 hours. The ability to explore a more complex idea is probably easier in a series that recurs every week, as opposed to a 2 hour popcorn extravaganza. If it doesn't work, hey, there's always |

srsly? I know everyone thinks of "trekkies" when they think of sci-cons, but Star Wars is the prevalent geek-meme of people taking themselves too seriously.
