So I made this complaint over on the Star Trek community ... but others might have some different thoughts here.
Any Trek fans tired of the reboots / prequels (and yes, even hard sequels)? All Trek since Voyager has been either a prequel or a had sequel (Picard). From Enterprise, through the Kelvin films to SNW ... there hasn't been a new Trek without at least Spock or a member of the Soong family making an appearance.
The big exceptions being Lower Decks and Prodigy ... which are animations that are either targeting children or trying to be a comedy ... which says I think (and I like Lower Decks, don't get me wrong) all you need to hear about how risk-averse modern star trek productions are to trying something new (compared to the TNG era and of course TOS).

Most of Star Trek is [space] politics, and most of the people who own Star Trek don't care about [space] politics. They want a marketable good to become the DC to Star Wars' Marvel

Hopefully after they saw what Haynes could do with a non-Skywalker/Palpatine Star Wars show, they’ll let him make a non-Kirk/Picard/Spock Star Trek movie. I’m ready for that

Me too!

God yes. Not just with Trek but with everything. I am getting real sick of seeing so many origin stories for things I am already intimately familiar with. Like, I know these are for new fans but still. There are so fucking many! There should be a proportional amount of fan service stuff for us existing fans, ya know?
With Trek specifically, I just want to see the TNG/Voy/DS9 era styling. I don't necessarily want to see the same characters, but just have them referenced and still a part of the world's history. The occasional cameo. Lower Decks gets it. Lower Decks feels specifically made for people like me.

Hm, so it's only the director of certain episodes. I misread this and thought it was Tony Gilroy for a moment - that would be really interesting!

I read and reread “Abrams’ Bad Robot” as “Abrams’ bad reboot” several times before I got it right. I guess the mind sees what it wants to see.
