   I do not like prequels in general. The cast is something you need to get     
   used to, but still it was "more Star Trek-y" than anything else that came     
   after it.   
      
   Discovery is as you say later "usual SciFi with Star Trek clothes".

   The original ST does have a lot of political statements related to the     
   time it was made. But instead of criticism against political actors,     
   especially not specific ones, ST used to show a vision about better     
   alternatives and kept the science within the fiction as "possible as     
   possible".   
   This is probably the reason so many nerds and science people love it.   
      
   To me, dreaming about a better world and thinking how to achieve it has     
   always been a way better attitude than ranting about the existing one.

   Yes... we will likely have to accept, that "our" Star Trek might never     
   return again.
