Yep. If I'd judged Prodigy by early images and reports then I'd have hated it. It's my second-favorite streaming Trek show.
News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

I didn't know the Hagemans (or McMahan for that matter) from Adam when the show was announced.
Me neither. But they did a great job making good Trek.
All writers gotta start from somewhere.
Gene Roddenberry had a string of freelance writing credits, some one-shot pilots that weren't picked up, and a show he created that was cancelled after a single season. He was a jobbing writer just like everyone else who's run series during the Kurtzman era.

Yep. The Lieutenant and episodes of series like Have Gun Will Travel were a decent resumé but not as long or stellar (no pun intended) as those of some current showrunners. Roddenberry busted his rear end to get TOS made and had to burn through no fewer than two pilot episodes to get a network to sign off on a weekly series.
Much like Picard seasons two and three.
If this thread is now PIC Season 2 then we're ALL in trouble.
Proving once again you don't need plot to be entertaining.
With a hefty dose of Aaron Waltke.
I'm still incensed that I almost passed it by.
I've no idea what any of the new creatives Trek knowledge is. Might be the biggest fans in the world.
There’s been good Trek written by writers who never watched Trek
Not for a very long time.
IIRC Braga wasn't really a fan and Moore was. They teamed up and produced some good Star Trek.
I don't know why I should care. Not every writer I know their work and even then they can surprise me.
Only thing that I can judge is the output.
Not true.
You mean like the guy who wrote Nemesis?
John Logan did not have a background in science fiction, nor knowledge or passion for Star Trek.
And he could have wrote an absolutely fantastic script, it would have mattered - Stuart Baird was completely unsuited to direct the movie, he did a horrible job combined with the studio giving into Patrick Stewart's demands.
The screen tests are actually head and shoulders above what we actually got.
