          I watched the whole series up to the bitter end. It was still Star Trek, but they included some concepts that left a bad taste in my mouth. Religion, being the one.

              They tried really hard to sell the ending as something for-religion as opposed to it being about aliens. Maybe just my interpretation but that ruined it for me. I won’t say only DS9 did this because the original show also acknowledged “god” but I attributed that to at least for being in its time. DS9 had no excuse and should not have entertained it.

    Instead of an 80s genre theme song like they did with Enterprise … they’ll probably upgrade to a 90s ska band style in this one.

    How about, and hear me out on this…give us a good, well written series and ease off in the callbacks and blatant shameless fan service. If you feel so compelled to do that era, give us a compelling show about the Earth Romulan War, with new characters on a new ship and a new crew with the occasional rare cameo.

    This doesn’t mean make Reed the captain with Sato as his first officer and Mayweather as the second officer with Phlox and T’Pol showing up every other episode, constantly contacting Archer, and directly referencing Enterprise episodes every 4-7 minutes while featuring a young Sarek who becomes a regular cast member in season 2 and oh look ancestors of Kirk and Riker…

      Everyone is always focused on a new ship and crew. DS9 proved you don’t need that to make a great Trek.

      A well written show about how the Admiralty handles this early situations like the Earth Romulan War on a larger scale, that then sometimes dives down into those early Startleet officers trying to handle those directly would be a unique perspective really only DS9 and a handful of scenes in SNW sort of scratched the surface with.

        DS9 had not just a new starship but a whole new type of location instead of a ship with a memberberry name l. Also, besides Miles who was only a minor character in TNG and only in DS9 became a fleshed out person and Worf much later in the show, every character was a brand new one (with the exception of some side characters that came back for an episode or two but not every week).

        DS9 is a good example of what OP means.

          The Defiant wasn’t introduced until the third season, the DS9 series was already established by that point as having the Station be the equivalent of the ships from previous series. And after introduction it was only in a fraction of the episodes.

          The Defiant was not the primary location of the show, it was the Delta Flyer of DS9. It was useful for certain stories to be told outside the station, but it was not the focus of the show.

      How about you do a new show in the TNG / DS9 timeline, PLEASE.

      New crew, new ship, none of the lens flares, no dumb pew pew pew, have intelligently written episodes, focus on positivism which we all need… Make real star trek again!

      Take a lootk at “The Orville”, especially season 2. THAT is what I want, that is great star trek. Please please please!
