I’m mainly responding to your quote about new things being against the established order and my view of NuTrek is extremely biased since I mainly get my information from RedLetterMedia but do you think NuTrek ackchyually can sit on its own laurels?

I did watch Picard’s 3 seasons and I think it highlighted pretty well the problems with NuTrek:
- retconning established lore to the extreme (slavery vis a vis androids is cool with the federation, earth has super drug problems)
- gratuitous violence (I was disgusted watching the equivalent of SAW with the Borg torture porn)
- action action action (can’t have any philosophy, gotta have fast paced machinegun phaser shootouts)
I could probably come up with more issues, but it’s been a bit and I’m never rewatching Picard. NuTrek is a far cry from the old thinking man’s trek and is really watered down.
