    There’s a significant lack of excitement for “90210 in space” in this thread, so I’m gonna try to defend the idea.

    It sounds kind of fun, to me. I liked NuTrek, though. The part of NuTrek I disliked was it’s snap back to status-quo before the end of the first film.

    Seeing inexperienced cadets do cool space stuff, I’m down for.

      My biggest concern is with the new ownership. The lack of any announced queer rep, SNW’s tepid third season, and even the pointed heteronormative attire in this poster all seem in line with a Trek that’s not going to push for anything progressive.

      I agree with you that a Star Trek teen drama has potential though. Star Trek was built to encompass a variety of genres. Most around here seem to have appreciated the Star Trek animated comedy, and I don’t hear much denigrating of Bakula’s West Wing in space proposal, so I don’t see why 90210 in space should be such a punchline.
