A key figure behind Star Trek's classic era has likened the shortened seasons of modern TV to the equivalent of a Tinder relationship, and said he hoped the sci-fi franchise would return to 22-episode seasons.
I don’t know. I think there are good shows and bad shows and it doesn’t matter how many episodes per season they have. It doesn’t matter how much they split it up, if they just keep on making up stuff just for the sake of going on instead of working towards a planned goal. With the shorter shows I get the feeling that they knew where they were going when filming started more than with the older 24 episode shows. But as I said, you get good and bad examples for both long and short seasons.

I have been watching more older shows over the years and noticed they had more filler episodes. I do not miss that.
