Watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds, I’m enjoying so far after watching season 1, but I personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia more than a new public, specially with lots and lots of reference who only fans will catch.

And I start to remembering those people who complaing about Star Wars or Fallout, with the idea of franchises which need a 360 grades turn to bring something new, for example, Fallout fans complain about the overuse of Broterhood of Steel, something I think is a silly thing to complaing since is almost the face of Fallout franchise is a whole.

But my question is; do Star Trek fans has the same opinions and thoughts? Of letting go the franchise?

Image as example, also, I’m waiting for respectful discussion and not flamewar.

    90s Trek was fantastic and did a great job handing off to each other. Even Voyager being stranded was still moving the world forward. Then we reset back to the first Enterprise, absolutely killing all the momentum.

    The best thing Discovery ever did (apart from soft launching Strange New Worlds which got lucky) was launch us into the far future and give us a place to build.

    I feel this is a powerful argument against prequels in general, not just for star trek.

    Like, I cant help but think you’re right. The latter half of disco did indeed move the setting to a place where Academy can pick up and it seems like it’s working.
