Like, advanced technology, focusing entirely on intercrew arguments, (terrible dialogue and cheesy action), ships flying sideways, no knowledge of ship operations and procedures. Magic technology. Blasters of different colours so we can tell good guys from bad guys. Robots and drones. Really, that's the big one.

If you hate star trek so much Kurtzman, just make a different show.

    They set up the Pah Wraiths and other "magical" species really well though. It's like this attainable but distant level of advancement. It's supposed to sort of humble humanity.

    They have the wormwhole alien/prophet dichotomy from the get go. You realize that the line between Bajoran gods and advanced beings is very blurry. Like they're confronting the issue head-on the whole time. It's clear that the prophets are just very powerful life forms, and Starfleet doesn't believe they exist until they have clear an unambiguous effects upon the universe.
