All I want is a voice assistant that I can call "computer" like Star Trek, I don't want to have to say a brand name thankyou!

You could’ve always set Alexa to respond to “Computer” instead.

Ah I admit I haven't looked into it for several years, good to see they added the feature - I might have to grab one

The problem is that it will go off every single time you watch Star Trek.
