They need to make one episode in which they retcon Trip’s death in that stupid Holodeck finale, air it so it’s canon, and then immediately cancel the show because this sounds mid AF, and Archer was an ass, and Bakula has all the presidential gravitas of a single neutron.

Never mind. Kurzman and his ilk would just turn it into another soap opera in which everyone is somehow related to Spock.

Star Trek is under new ownership — it’ll be interesting to see if they hire a new show runner/producer going forward.

Fuck this.

If Paramount doesn’t pick it up, they should at least offer the idea to David Mack or one of the Trek novel authors. Would make a great series.

On the other hand, they could pick up Vanguard for a more serious show.
I’m actually disappointed that United would focus more on Archer’s kids than his government

I mean, if they struck a balance, it could be enjoyable enough.
It’s not a dynamic we’ve fully explored in Trek. We kind of got it with adult Jake and Captain Sisko in the later seasons of DS9, but we haven’t really fully seen the experience of a Starfleet empty nester.
Still, drama after drama is rather annoying.
After being disgusted by the horribly-done pre-school show, I’d much rather see a Star Trek done in the spirit of Craig of the Creek and Bluey that’s about a friend group of kids running around a star base and getting into fun and trouble and low-stakes ethical dilemmas, preferably while their parents (the crew and civilian residents) deal with DS9 levels of heavy stuff. After saying this to my younger sibling, they have a more developed pitch, having sketched up some concept art for fun.

New crew. New ship. Post-DS9. Not an animated comedy. That’s all I want.

Prodigy?

A sitcom about the kids of Janeway and Paris it is then! With singing!

I’d watch this, but only if there’s a laugh track.

Starfleet Academy technically has all of this criteria met, depending on how far you’re willing to stretch the definition of “crew”.
SteleTrovilo@beehaw.org 2 days ago
Prodigy meets your criteria.

Ok, then I separate animated and comedy :p

Legacy with Captain Seven.

I would certainly not reject a well-written Lower Decks season 6, so I don’t agree on the animated comedy front.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
I like Lower Decks, but it’s not old Trek. Strange New Worlds is great, but I’m so tired of prequels and reboots and blah blah blah
