Says what it says on the tin.
I really have no idea which one I'd take.

It genuinely feels like there’s someone trying to fix TNG all the way back to Generations. A real fan of Trek is running the show right now.
Considering the praise it is getting from Dave Cullen and Nerdrotic it absolutely sounds like someone who actually is a Trek fan is in charge of season 3
For anyone that actually cares about the show there are some fairly significant spoilers below
Season 3 is a shipload of fanservice.
Multiple ships worth, literally.
In order:
1 Excelsior class [Excelsior and Enterprise-B]
2 Akira class
3 TOS Constitution class [TOS/OG Enterprise]
4 Constellation class [Picard's Stargazer was this]
5 Possibly meant to be where the Defiant class is as that is also shown
6 Romulan Bird of Prey
7 TMP Constitution refit [ST I-III Enterprise and IV-VI Enterprise-A]
8 Klingon B'Rel class Bird of Prey [Specifically the HMS Bounty, the one from ST III/IV used to go back in time and get the whales]
9 Saber class
10 Klingon D7 Battlecruiser
11 NX class Columbia refit [This has never been shown on screen until now]
12 Miranda class [Likely the Reliant refit design]
13 Nebula class
14 Intrepid class [It's Voyager specifically]
15 Starbase 1 from the original movies
It's also brought back the entire TNG cast, including several "cameos" by supporting characters.
After the absolute shitshow that was the first 2 seasons these kinds of callbacks are generating a lot of positive reactions from fans, possibly in part because even a 5/10 feels significantly better than a 1/10.
I don’t have paramount but had Star Trek not worked so hard to turn off fans I would’ve. I am glad to hear the realized they pissed off many fans. All they had to do was have a new crew like 50 to 100 years after the events of Voyager/DS9 but I feel they like prequels so they can “reimagine” classic characters
This is what ended up happening with STD because all the concepts of the show were so dumb the writers kept boxing themselves in.
New magic instant FTL that never gets talked about in any other Trek show? Classified.
Spock's secret human sibling who taught Spock all he knows? Classified.
Same human who grew up around Vulcans, is more Vulcan than any Vulcan but also constantly shouting and crying which goes against every single basic concept of Vulcans, emotions, and the Kholinar? CLASSIFIED!
So after several disasters that were all caused by the main cast, including starting the Klingon war, recruiting a cannibal, genocidal nazi, and crying more than even a CW show, the ship leaves for the 31st century where it gets to decide how all the previous other stories ended and what they move towards.
Which is the same problem and biggest issue Star Wars has due to the Disney trilogy being the endpoint for any show like the Mandalorian. No matter how good it might be it will inevitably have to end up where people hate things.
Doctor Who did something similar by deciding who and what thr penultimate Doctor would be in one of the disastrous Chibnal episodes.
Error, inability to nostalgia farm does not compute!
Tbf TNG does have old man Bones, Scotty, and Spock in some episodes.
