Good Lessons Don't Corrupt
By c.p.

Don't misunderstand and think that people who see strengths in BSG and see lessons to be learned there, are suggesting that Star Trek abandon it's own canon or it's own purpose. Just as with TWOK, TNG, and to a lesser extent DS9, there comes a time when the WAY in which Star Trek is told must be updated to remain relevant. THAT is what we can learn from BSG. NOT a complete bastardization of Trek's purpose, but simply a new, more relevant way of telling it. Over the last few years Star Trek has turned into Hamburger Helper. So no one can be blamed for losing their appetite. But that doesn't mean the world has to give up on beef itself. We all know that there is so much at Star Trek's core that will remain relevant as long as there are curious human beings who strive to make the world better. But retelling that in new ways that connect and REconnect with people is the challenge. The experts described in this article seem to think the new BSG contains lessons in how to do that. I agree with them.
