      Most of Star Trek is [space] politics, and most of the people who own Star Trek don’t care about [space] politics. They want a marketable good to become the DC to Star Wars’ Marvel

      Hopefully after they saw what Haynes could do with a non-Skywalker/Palpatine Star Wars show, they’ll let him make a non-Kirk/Picard/Spock Star Trek movie. I’m ready for that

      God yes. Not just with Trek but with everything. I am getting real sick of seeing so many origin stories for things I am already intimately familiar with. Like, I know these are for new fans but still. There are so fucking many! There should be a proportional amount of fan service stuff for us existing fans, ya know?

      With Trek specifically, I just want to see the TNG/Voy/DS9 era styling. I don’t necessarily want to see the same characters, but just have them referenced and still a part of the world’s history. The occasional cameo. Lower Decks gets it. Lower Decks feels specifically made for people like me.
