I guess it's cute that Zachary Quinto is hosting the new in search of given that he also played Spock. But, that doesn't mean it has the same heart.
The first "In Search Of..." the real Spock's series, had a lot more heart to it and seemed more inquisitive than this one.
At least it, the original, seemed like it had a thesis but was considering evidence about the thesis. It didn't seem to walk in with the clear assumption that they were right and then only look for the evidence that backs it up.
This one seems that it's only going to accept the evidence that fits the thesis and throw everything else out. It doesn't even really emphasis that it's based on "theory and conjuncture" like the first one did, that was the draw to it, the appeal.
This comes across more like Ancient Aliens, where everything BUT the thesis is discounted and they don't really want to entertain how much of it is just speculative theories to entertain and titillate.
Really it's more History Channel Junk. The title makes you miss the Josh Bernstein era where, when they went for speculation and conjuncture and pure titillation, at least it felt like they were being honest about the conclusions.
This just feels like Ancient Alien conspiracy crap with no real effort to be anything more than speculation past off as total truth.
