Live From The Bunker 873: Has STAR TREK Gotten Dumber? Plus: is ACADEMY Cancelled Already?

The interwebs are abuzz with chatter about a new analysis of STAR TREK and the "intellectual integrity" of the Kurtzman era vs previous incarnations going all the way back to 1966 -- including the animated shows.
