A key figure behind Star Trek's classic era has likened the shortened seasons of modern TV to the equivalent of a Tinder relationship, and said he hoped the sci-fi franchise would return to 22-episode seasons.
I mean if we’re being honest then pretty much all 90’s trek fits the description I’ve given.
Don’t get me wrong, in principle I completely agree that more episodes can mean more character development and that’s a good thing, but it’s not as simple as “more episodes = better”, there has to be intent and desire there to make good things rather than a specific number of things.
I would say SNW, Lower Decks, and Prodigy, all have a clear desire to do that. And Id say the same for the Orville, which honestly may be my favorite, and I feel like SNW took a lot of notes from them.
