I had very low hopes for this, and it was orders of magnitude worse. I guess there's some device that becomes relevant for the climactic scene, but who cares? I don't even know who the audience is for this, because anyone into Star Trek isn't gong to see much here to work with, and anyone not will be put off by the branding.

Sadly I suspect it had a lot to do with cutting the original women who were creating it out of their own project.

Not sure ‘cutting them’ is totally accurate.

The writing team and original creator/showrunner EPs Kim & Lippoldt were joined by a guy who had some showrunner experience. At the time, it sounded more like the Paramount suits weighed in on that as the show stayed in development hell even after an original greenlight.

But the fact is that when S31 got put on the back burner during the pandemic lockdown, Kim & Lippoldt took an offer from Netflix to take over as showrunners of ‘Sweet Tooth’.

They have been very successful with that. Paramount would be very fortunate to get them back to run anything.
