Go watch other shows & let Star Trek be Star Trek for Star Trek fans. It’s a Utopian Future to counter the dark & gritty & negative (Supposely More Realistic post 9/11 alarmist views) we live in. I don’t know why you people even watch star Trek if you hate everything about it & want it to change, be all death & dark & Gritty. Star Trek rarely does it and as you said usually its because an actor wants off the series the few times its been done just to do it like Kirk has had an impact. So I always respect the ones that kill off an important character and its for keeps. They ‘killed’ Superman in BvS but we already knew that guy was going to be in the next 13 movies DC has planned so it just felt like they did it to have a somber ending but it didn’t feel real because clearly its not. That is the problem with things like sci fi and superhero stories, it never feels real because you can always bring characters back and they do often. Even though people hated how Kirk died in Generations, I love the fact that once he was killed off he stayed dead. Sure they brought him back but he was really meant to die. At least when they killed off Spock in TWOK the plan really was to kill him. Yeah I also don’t like the deaths where they ‘kill’ people for dramatic attention but they were never going to really die. (And yes, we’re assuming this is more about the effect death can have on other characters and viewers as opposed to referencing beheadings and squishy-sounding swords-in-the-guts deaths.) Thematically, this isn’t brand new territory for the franchise, which has seen the deaths of Captain Kirk, Spock, and Sarek and the departure of Captain Sisko, but perhaps most closely echoes Tasha Yar, who died early on in The Next Generation‘s run and thus had an impact on the ship’s crew for a long time afterwards, or Jadzia Dax, who was killed off late in Deep Space Nine’s run and deeply affected everyone left behind. But when it happens we want to make sure that people really feel it.” Harberts added, “Death isn’t treated gratuitously on this show. That show’s had an influence on all TV dramas that have come after it.” They almost made it difficult to fall in love with people because you didn’t know if they were going to be taken away from you. Berg and Aaron Harberts, talked about the way HBO’s Game of Thrones has influenced television and is likely to influence Star Trek: Discovery. Said Berg, In a separate article just released by EW today, showrunners Gretchen J. Chris Obi as T’Kuvma Game of Thrones is an influence
