Please stop rehashing old TV shows. TNG was great because Picard wasn't Kirk. DS9 was great because Sisko wasn't Picard. Give us new characters that continue the timeline instead of stagnating at the same old era with a shiny new coat of paint.

Yeah, except they fucked everything with blowing up Romulus and the Picard show. It turned the optimistic futurism into another generic grim 'n gritty dark dystopian sci-fi. It'd be nice to see if they can somehow reset it, but they'd probably have to go another hundred or two years in the future. I don't know how that would jive with what Destiny did, though, as I never watched that.
We need to get out of the TOS era 😭
I was so excited in the late 90s as we came to the end of Voyager.
TNG has done such an excellent job building out the era. Then DS9 with the Dominion War really made me appreciate the political tension. As Voyager got close to home we got little bits of information. The Borg were largely defeated, we were home.
Time to explore the post-Voyager era!!!
Then we went back to the beginning... Ok...
Then Trek died... Hmmm...
But it came back! Just before TOS... Huh...
Picard! No... Season 2 Picard? Interesting but also not what I wanted...
Lower Decks! Finally!
(Also I like Strange New World, but explore them in post 90s Trek, post Voyager.)
I’d like to see a maroon uniform era Star Trek show. The times they revisited it on TNG was great.
I legit think they refuse to do that is because they think the audience wouldn't be able to tell the cast apart
Just not with pseudo Kirk please. He’s the weakest and most unnecessary character on the show.
