It’s worth noting that the last time I heard Ben Stiller talking Trek - five years ago on the official podcast - he made it pretty clear that he was a TOS fan, and hadn’t really seen anything else.
Nothing wrong with that at all, but relevant IMO.
Also, he definitely doesn’t actually have a pitch.
…they asked him “Do you have any Star Trek pitches?” He promptly replied, “Yeah, let’s do it.”

Christ… TOS is the worst of them for like the first 6 shows or something. Uncultured swine.
What’s wrong with it? It’s very much a product of its time, but it’s still serviceable.
Just the acting, the writing, and the effects mostly. Otherwise, not so bad.
He only wants something TOS related (since he only watches TOS). But that won’t happen.
