In looking up the latest news about the war in Ukraine, Google News decided I needed to see this:

Netflix saves scrapped show helmed by Star Trek: Discovery boss

In short: CBS had a pilot and decided not to go forward with the show, but Netflix picked it up. The pilot was helmed by one Jordon Nardino, a “co-executive producer” on Star Trek: Discovery. This show now to be produced by Netflix is described thusly:

Coming to Netflix: Miss Benny (they/them/theirs) will star in GLAMOROUS as Marco Mejia (he/him/his), a young gender non-conforming queer man whose life seems to be stuck in place until he lands a job working for a legendary makeup mogul.

Uh huh. This explains a *lot* about modern Star Trek and why it sucks so badly and is so unlike actual Star Trek. In Star Trek: TOS, it was made abundantly clear that mental illness was almost entirely eliminated, with the Federation having something like 15 incurable nutballs until some new medicine comes along that cures even them. In all actual Star Trek, what is celebrated is someone trying to actually do something meaningful and useful with their lives. This new Netflix show is the polar opposite… as are modern debased Star Trek.
