Thus, not true Star Trek. Roddenberry’s vision on this question was unambiguous, if com0licating from a drama perspective. While TOS had horror aspects (the monsters etc), the sheer number of people sucked screaming out into the void of space tells me that these reboot universes are not the product of happy or optimistic writers.
