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.
I really wish we got a Captain Seven show or mini series. I had been saying "Captain. Annika. Hansen." to my friends since Picard commissioned her. Then it happened! One of the best moments in Star Trek. Seven of Nine becoming Captain of the Enterprise.
Academy is really good for the whole franchise. There were some things that I disagree with narratively but it's bones are solid.
I re-watched the pilot with some friends who were interested because of the dumpster fire online and I played a bit of Star Trek sherpa. I had to explain that the pilot IS NOT the show. The show starts when they land in San Francisco. (And the burn. I had to spark notes the burn. Since they're still back watching voyager in the timeline.)
