It says something about our times that Nicholas Meyer is reportedly developing a new Star Trek series based around the adventures of Khan and his merry band of eugenics supporters following the events of Space Seed.

..... why would anyone want to watch that?

It's planned as a limited-run series. There's definitely something at the moment about fetishizing autocracy.

And grimdarkness. I suppose, in that light, it's an appealing, or at least marketable, combination.

I have no sense of a long-term strategy for Star Trek beyond CBS finding whatever aspects can be monetised quickly.
