Starfleet Academy & Robert Picardo: I have a theory...

[Nerys Myk]

an over reliance on dialog (aka verbal diarrhea) , too much exposition, info dumps, things happening because the plot needs them to happen...misplaced humor stealing the gravitas of scenes....all good if you don't mind that sort of thing, but if you're not a fan then it loses its appeal...

Yeah, none of that is unique to Gen Z.

 

[SatrianiRules]

Yeah, none of that is unique to Gen Z.

perhaps not unique, but It has become the standard that they are used to and expect...subtlety, irony, dramatic space are concepts that are alien to gen z, because of the programming that is presented to them in this manner...sure there are outliers but put on just about any series (not even Sci - Fi) on any of the streaming platforms and you will notice these trends and techniques.

What? I watch a fair amount of streaming programs, Doesn't seem to be a wide spread "problem".

Not in my experience either. Exposition and need of plot are all in Trek since TOS.

If that's the criteria we're using, than Starfleet Academy is going to be very "Gen Z" as you put it.
