we wouldn't have gotten the jose chung etc episodes out of the chris carter cinematic universe without 26 episode seasons and a writer's room needing a minute away from the current themes. the world is worse without writer's rooms having the space to just shrug and go "screw it, demon breakfast"

STAR TREK USED TO MAKE TWENTY SIX EPISODES A SEASON WITH ONE MILLION DOLLARS AND PAPER MACHÉ!

we never would've gotten vulcans playing baseball. we never would've gotten space station motorcycle club. we never would've gotten holodeck moriarty. list goes on forever.
