'Star Trek: Discovery' will be the worst series.

You could be right, but I think the existing evidence proves this is unlikely. If you're right I'll eat my words.... but I don't think that is the case.
Presuming that you're talking about the registry numbers, yeah I do think that they only go higher. The old ship taken of mothballs variant seems at least possible to mee.

Oh, sure. I'd love to see Archer again, but doubt we'd see him once again... and then I'd remember the TRIP MURDERERS!!!! :(
Personally I hated Archer but I don't want to start discussion about him now and here so... I'd like to see Phlox or Hoshi again though.
Trip is revealed to be alive in the Enterprise relaunch novels, namely The Good that Men do, Kobayashi Maru and the Romulan War duology all by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels. You might want to check them out :)

Men are much more likely to be sailors than women.... even astronauts most are men despite the more inclusive nature of spaceflight today. I think it's a fair thing to say that men are more adventurous and this would be the case in the future.
Well there is a difference between sailors and starship captains. And judging from background captains there are defintely more than 20% female starship captains. I don't think that the 'men are more adventurous then women' thing doesn't necessarily apply to the future and definately not to all alien cultures.
 
Please, it'll have to be pretty atrocious to beat Enterprise!

You can't base the series on the ship alone, or the rumours about casting/characters.
 
Roddenberry jumped ahead to the next century for TNG. I think he would likely agree that moving forward is sort of the point of ST....

For Roddenberry, the point of ST was to tell stories and to make money. Never in any interview, article, story or series concept have I ever seen it said that it has to be set another century or any time forward from the series or movie prior.

Star Trek was a venue to tell stories in a future. Any future from now.

As for worst series? It will be hard to beat Voyager. Bland characters flying through space in a bedpan with warp engines.
 
DS9 was fantastic.

I admit it's possible. I just think the odds are relatively low compared to the obvious possibility.

Hoshi? PLEASE. You like her over Archer? I always thought she didn't belong. She was the weakest point in the show by far.

Eh... I don't know.... also Starfleet is mostly humans anyway. And Fuller said a few years ago he wants a "woman of color" as the Captain AND the First Officer... talk about approaching this with a pre-conceived agenda about what race and gender two key characters should be.
 
ENT wasn't shit because it was a prequel.

It was shit because it was shit.

You are entitled to your opinion. Thankfully your opinion doesn't mean much to those of us that did like ENT.

Some folks will dutifully spend their $5.99 a month and watch every episode, so they can come here and complain about the "gay agenda".

That'll teach CBS!

... and some folks will bitch about every perceived slight against the "gay agenda".
 
I think that idea was supposed to take place like in 3000 or something. Once again though, I'd really take in to consideration that certain characters, and certain actors who play them would LOVE to be guest stars, and the fans would appreciate it too, which is why I give the time-frame that I do.

IMHO, 3000 years would be much too great. The technological progress from more the half of millenia from 2300 to 3000 would be incredibly hard to represent. A century or so would be just fine, for such scenatio...
 
Yep, Star Trek has a fairly spotty track record predicting future tech (as does all SciFi) and extrapolating well over 900 years into the future is a fairly impossible task.
