Many of us used to say the same about TNG, DS9 and Voyager bringing fans to TOS, TAS and the TOS movies.

But others of us just tried to give each show a chance to become favourites on their own merits.

In terms of the GenZs in our household, who had seen all the classic series by the end of middle school, the new shows have superceded their old favourites. One’s really into animated Trek, another loves Discovery. Star Trek Online has also played a role in retaining interest in the franchise.
