I feel like Picard completely killed any interest I had in nuTrek (even if it was just morbid). I couldn't be bothered with Lower Decks, I don't care for low-effort "adult" cartoons. I watched the first two episodes of STD S3 and I've yet to go past that. Most of my time with those two episodes was waiting for it to be over. Back when S1 and 2 were ongoing, I could at least laugh at it for being a pathetic try at a Marvel-like extended universe meets modern SW meets GoT, but now it's just. I don't care. Picard was the last straw, an unmitigated disaster that completely lost all resemblance of something worth watching. And I'm running out of reasons to give a shit about the rest of nuTrek anymore.

Better late than never, I guess.

For me, the question is: Can someone involved with Star Trek make a show like The Mandalorian-- a show that's in the universe, at least somewhat respects long-established canon, and is actually kind of good?

I keep coming up with the same answer: "No."

I've heard people say that the guy who is making Lower Decks is a genuine Trek fan and they wish he was in charge of the franchise instead of Kurtzman. The guy even went on Trekyards to talk about ships.

It is good to laugh. Also good to watch every single new iteration without fail fail. If they were able to make anyone actually care about NuTrek crap then that would be depressing.

Imagine Star Trek being in even more pathetic condition than Soy Wars.
 
I think this is honestly the kind of stuff you get when you get vidya and capeshit writers to try and make a TV show. The flat characters, ridiculously high stakes, obsession with giant things and invincible protagonists that also do everything makes perfect sense if you just start using videogame or comic book logic on the whole scenario. I'm not sure these people know how to do much else. I bet their home life is really bleak.
 
I follow the Star Trek Facebook page (still, for some reason) and every time they put up a recap of the latest Discovery episode, the comments section is full of people talking about how much they cried. Is the latest season really just a bunch of crying?

Yes.
 
I just pretend Star Trek ended after Enterprise and Voyager.

It very clearly did.
Voyager returning to the Alpha quadrant when it did created the TNG movie universe and everything we have gotten since has been a cascading series of parallel timelines.

It's the dichotomy of the modern audience.

"I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW [X]!" and "I CRIED WHEN I SAW [X]!".
