Yeah, and SNW leans heavily in the same direction IMO. Maybe it’s just producers circling the wagons to keep the fans happy — maybe at some point I’ll realise they hit the zeitgeist in a way I can’t decipher right now — but I feel like they’re flattening legacy characters for gimmicks and jokes.
I hope eventually somebody gets a Trek series on the air that’s just a solid space exploration show without too heavy ties to past Trek.
For me, the level of fan service and nostalgia was almost uncomfortable - we’ve got Lower Decks for that kind of stuff!

I hope the Orville manages to get a fourth season, that often felt like the most Trek of all of what was airing.
