It would be fine if the style of Trek that the original fans liked wasn't sidelined for over a decade, and if Strange New Worlds was actually an advancement of the formula rather than a retread of things we've already seen with a higher budget. It just feels like Trek is a shadow of its former self, and that the best Trek show is the parody from the Family Guy.
Maybe a new show will come out, or Strange New Worlds will start to get really good in its third season (like every previous Trek series lmao), and we'll just remember the 2010s as Trek's "Dark Ages".
Prodigy is really good albeit geared towards a tween-ish audience. Lower Decks is also more than parody. Its stories are pure Trek and the whole show drips with Mike McMahan's genuine love of the franchise. It really feels like people judge this stuff purely from promotional materials rather than actually give it a chance.
