Imagine if the new owners of paramount decided to try to appeal to Star Trek fans. Or imagine execs saying “you know the vast majority of people aren’t lgbt, so why are we pandering to that group so much”.
Maybe it’s petty of me, but I’d like to think that even an earnest attempt to appeal to old fans will fall on deaf ears. Besides the fact everything Trek has been shit for almost 20 years now, Paramount made it very clear those old fans were no longer wanted. I would be fine with there never being anymore Trek. It’s a relic of a bygone era and simply can’t be repeated.
But there were enough idiots with no pride who insisted “Picard season 3 is so great because it has old characters in it” so that won’t happen.

Over 30 if you don't like Enterprise and Voyager. I personally have mixed feelings on both, but I know plenty of people who don't like them at all.
It’s kind of like the Star Wars prequels. Sure they have their detractors, but they’re amazing compared to what’s come out since.
The Star Wars prequels are still complete trash. They aren't misunderstood like 1980s The Thing.
