    “a completely new take on the Star Trek universe and not connected to any previous or current television series, movie or prior movie development projects.”

    Because the established fan base of long running series are always looking for a new take that ignores the previous things they loved? (Sarcasm mixed with cautious optimism, since it sounds like a good creative team.)

    Could still be fun, but there’s so many veteran actors willing to reprise Trek roles, right now. I wish they would give us a Captain Worf and/or Quark Heist movie or something.

      I don’t. It will be the death of Star Trek. This obsession with nostalgia means that Star Trek will never evolve, will never change, will never move past the point that it’s already at. It will just stagnate and be perpetually stuck in the era of the 90s because people are too afraid of something new. Meanwhile, Star Trek’s whole thing is about exploring the new.

      I don’t want veteran actors. We got that with Picard. We need something new to bring in new people. to spark new stories. To learn new lessons.

        You are completely and objectively correct. My mind sees and accepts the wisdom you have shared.

        Yet, heart wants what the heart wants. And my heart says “Captain Worf Mini Series”.

          Totally valid. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh there, meant to say my opinion but was just waking up and all derpy.

            No worries. You didn’t come off as harsh. I just took it as the usual community passion for one of our favorite shows. I generally expect empassioned thoughtful discussion here. It’s what many of us were raised on, after all.

              That’s fair <3 I just should have thrown something in saying in my opinion or whatever. I didn’t wanna come off as one of those guys saying there’s only one way or anything.
