The title used here comes from a line in the article, which has the title "Star Trek: Discovery". The essay starts "This week on Dear Television".

It does not look at the broader question of "why did science fiction stop moving forward", but mostly Star Trek, with a few references to Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse.

I write this because when I saw "L.A. Review of Books" I thought it would include SF in books, and touch on things like Stephenson's Hieroglyph Project (See http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dear-science-fi... - "Dear Science Fiction Writers: Stop Being So Pessimistic!".)
