Star Trek Discovery, Diversity Casting, Star Trek Continues Fan Film
The new series Star Trek: Discovery is criticized for its perceived political leanings and departure from traditional series structures. In contrast, the fan-funded YouTube series "Star Trek Continues" is praised for its high production values and faithful recreation of the original 1960s aesthetic. The fan production features the son of the original Scotty actor and focuses on nostalgic storytelling rather than modern social commentary.
