Cultural references would have worked better this way
If Seth wanted to continually reference everything in American culture from 1940 on, especially the 1980's (his youth), wouldn't it have been a cooler idea to have the show actually take place in the present, but be about some secret space fleet that has all the aliens it has, as well as humans from Earth? I think that would be much more exciting and add conflict and intrigue you never had in Star Trek. Sort of "Men in Black in Space." Just a thought.
