It felt the last episode, which was so full of great nostalgia, also seemed to be testing such an idea. Jack sitting in the captains chair, talking to Seven, and the scenes with the LaForge daughters, felt like a testing of chemistry with them in mind.

Have a show with a mix of new and old characters. Occassionally link stuff back to the past, but don't be afraid to create new stories in that timeline either. Not overly focused on prequels, but not afraid of new stories that continue on in the main time line (unlike Discovery's insistence of jumping a few hundred years into the future, as if it's terrified of having old heads pop up).

Let me catch up with what happened the DS9 and Voyager crews, please!

At a complete guess, and with the greatest of respect, that sounds like you were downvoted cause you asked something that would have been easily found via the search bar. 99% of questions asking for recommendations have already been asked and answered extensively. Not every thought needs a new thread.

It’s karma whoring. Blatantly so.

It put me off Twitter when I started trying to use it more actively recently, where you’d get people posting five or six questions an hour,but never having genuine conversations. It’s to get engagement, get karma and upvotes and then move on to the next question.

It can somewhat lead to good conversations with other people, but you’ll notice a lot of the time, the OP asks a question but barely engages deeper in the thread. It feels so soulless and fake. Vapid.

There’s a lot of the right wing media in the Uk have absolutely riled up hatred against them. To an obsessive degree. There’s some people who seem to make hating the pair a core part of their personality. I think it’s an extension of British adoration of the royal family. But look at the anger over Clarksons latest rant against Megan. He stepped over a line but the reality is the likes of the Daily Mail love straddling the line daily.

There’s also a lot of people who like celebrity drama, and it doesn’t get much more dramatic than genuine royalty throwing barbs at each other in public.
