    Eeh, this one has potential. It’s almost all the original crew (inc. the writers and the non Joss showrunner!) getting a chance to go back and tell more stories in a project they all loved and that’s had a lasting cultural impact. There’s a difference between people passionately revisitimg a sequel, and the gutless corpse of something being draped over a generic script and set loose on the unsuspecting villagers to milk them for all they’re worth like has been happening so much with Disney and Paramount lately (fucking Starfleet Academy)

      Do we know enough about Starfleet Academy to hate it? I like the genre of show it seems to be and love the idea of such a thing in the Star Trek universe. Why are all the teenage melodrama shows always in a magical/vampire setting? Why not SciFi? Clearly my perspective isn’t the majority of the current Star Trek audience, but why not broaden that audience and welcome new fans to the tent?

        thier formula for nutrek is pretty poor, when it was jump started by JJ abrams, and then kurtzman took the helm. thier current strategy, is forget the previous season and or movie, and look at this shiny new trek show we made, rinse and repeat.

        We don’t know enough to say it’s bad yet, but it seems to not be what most Star Trek fans want out of a new show. People will go in expecting it to be bad, so it will have to be incredible just to be accepted. My hopes are not high, considering how Discovery ended.

          STD was pretty bad from start to finish. picard tried to fix it, but it fell for the same trap. and snw still is trying to fix the problems faced by the other 2 series.

          I guess I’m also still confused by the hate for Lower Decks. That was my favorite Star Trek show since TNG.

            i find it superior, to the 3 other non-cartoon shows. i also liked prodigy. a little too much comedy, but kept the original intent of the franchise somewhat. the other 3 shows, you dont even know whats going on, its like they couldnt stick to a plot, and tried the escape to next big bad, and ignore the poor writing of the previous shows.
