If they are talking about the original from 2010, I am aware it exists...
 

What did you watch?

 
Another long workday, and I was so tired I went to bed early. So all I
got through was:
 
I saw the last half of "Wheel" - I easily got the final puzzle, but the
contestant choked (both in letter selection, and in solving it).

Star Trek: Discovery (Paramount+) - "Whistlespeak" - I just don't know
what to say about this one.  Filler I guess.  This is a season long arc
to once again save the Federation.  Destiny seems to do that every
season.  Anyway with life as they know it at stake their mission takes
them to a pre-warp civilization, that conveniently all look human, so
they can beam down.  Then they seamlessly blend in, then they figure
forget it, break the prime direction anyway.  Honestly, I wouldn't mind
it if they just pulled a Kirk and straight up said screw the Prime
Direction from the start.  That probably would have made a much better
episode anyway.  I also have to mention David Cronenberg's character.
His character is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.  Dude wears *glasses*
and a tie.  Keep in mind this is about 1,300 years in the future.  Even
in Kirk's time glasses were odd.  But this episode he pulls out a yellow
legal pad then makes a point to say it's not replicated, it's an
original from the 21st century because he likes the feel of real paper.
