First, name one of these shows that fits that description. Seasons have a few stinkers, but a lot ot of them have great B plots.

Plus it leaves so much more room for the most important part. Characters. And their development.

The biggest problem with the new shows is there will never be another DS9 level of characters changing over the show's run.

    I mean if we're being honest then pretty much all 90's trek fits the description I've given.

    Don't get me wrong, in principle I completely agree that more episodes can mean more character development and that's a good thing, but it's not as simple as "more episodes = better", there has to be intent and desire there to make good things rather than a specific number of things.
