Meh, just weird that they are doing 2 back to back prequel shows. I'm all in, I hope they don't try to bring the Borg in like Enterprise.

Spare me your daps
each new series expanded on the premise in some way.
the first trek was the original.
next gen took us to the future.
ds9 took us off the enterprise.
voyager took us to the delta quadrant.
being that an entire generation has passed since the last real trek series, you would think it would be prime for another future jump. we live in different times now so we should be exploring uncharted territory. new technology, new concepts, new species, new ideologies.
i don't see how a prequel to TOS that retreads familiar ground expands the series.

That Abrams made mad cash out of the TOS era has given them license to be lazy, but maybe I am too cynical. I am happy the reboots gave the franchise another chance, but they honestly didn't add a damn thing to the Trek universe or its ideas.
Yeah but the problem with a show like voyager for example is they got lazy and relied on the premise but really they just rehashed tng episodes with a new coat of paint. Thats why I think you are overthinking it imo.
Enterprise was trash to me struggle to watch it only thing that kept me coming back was.

They should do an alternate universe where the Borg conquered the Alpha Quadrant, the Klingons won the war, etc. Would love a setting in the future, but I know they don't have the creative ideas to pull it off. The Federation is already highly advanced, they would be galaxy hopping in no time.
The networks are not trying to pay for the costs of effects anyhow. TNG was the stuff of legends that catches an young man's imagination.

Q did some cool stuff too. "Tapestry", when Picard 'died' and got to relive his life differently, was one of my favorites in TNG.
Ron Moore wrote that too. With competent writers they could easily go post-Nemesis, but today's ADHD crowd doesn't have the attention-span to handle or appreciate great episodes like "Tapestry", "Yesterday's Enterprise", "The Visitor", etc.
TOS-era Trek in the alternate universe is rather boring as we know certain events will come to fruition eventually ie Terminator rules....NuTrek films are super hammy and slapstick at times.
Will Riker and the Titan would've been awesome exploring the fragile peace of the Dominion and Federation Alliance.

Yeah, the fact a lot of people were praising the first reboot as the best Trek movie since WoK had me like
It's not just the crowd though. Producers and directors are lazy as shyt. They just want to remake something for a quick buck, longevity and message be damned. I haven't looked up the writing credits for this one yet but they better be on point.
I been saying for a minute I still don't know what the new movies are about they are just action movies lol.Yeah, the fact a lot of people were praising the first reboot as the best Trek movie since WoK had me like

Yeah him introducing them to the Borg was also a dope episode and his first episode of voyager where the other q wanted to off himself was great also.

I don't think DS9 wanted to do Borg since it was a voyager villain. They only appeared in the pilot.
