> I'm all about the episodic setup that worked so well in the 90s

Apparently, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" will be in episodic format.

TBH I'm thinking "Strange New Worlds" is going to be more "let's dragg up old TOS ideas".

I think Discovery in a time far far into the future had a better chance at exploring "strange new worlds" and they screwed it up with "same old stuff just written even more poorly".

I don't understand the obsession with prequels outside of recycling known characters. It's set ten years before TOS, with Pike as captain, and it will mess the canon because it's made by people who ignore it.

For all the hate it got, Enterprise was a prequel that respected canon, expanded it sensibly, and brought new characters instead of reusing old ones.
