Hollywood has officially run out of ideas… again.
In this episode of Old Man Yelling at Star Trek, I take aim at the newly announced Star Trek: Year One—a concept that somehow manages to be both unnecessary and creatively bankrupt at the same time.
Apparently the plan is to rewind the clock and show us the earliest days of Starfleet and the Federation. Because if there’s one thing Star Trek fans have been desperately asking for… it’s more prequels that shrink the universe and over-explain everything we already understood perfectly well.
In this episode we talk about:
Why “Year One” is exactly the wrong direction for the franchise
How prequels keep making the Star Trek universe feel smaller instead of bigger
Why mystery and imagination were always part of what made Trek work
The modern obsession with origin stories and “filling in the blanks” nobody asked for
And why the franchise should be moving forward instead of constantly digging up its own past
Plus: a healthy dose of sarcasm, a bit of shouting, and the lingering question—
Has Star Trek learned absolutely nothing?
If you enjoy Star Trek discussions with a slightly grumpy tone and a lot of honesty, this one’s for you.
