Modern Star Trek is the franchise equivalent of a “deepity”.
A deepity is a superficial statement that seems profound because of its ambiguity.
Example: “Love is just a word.”
“Love” is a just a word. (No duh.)
vs.
Love is a just a word. (Preposterous!)
Mike really nailed it with his Picard monologue that Kurtzman’s Star Trek uses profound words and ideas without a pattern of meaning behind them. It “wags the dog” in that sense, telling you such and such is profound but constructing nothing behind it.
