With a COVID-19 related "Trek drought" coming, is it time for CBS to crank out remasters?

There's eight hundred hours of this stuff, there should be no drought.
I think it was understood that a drought of NEW Trek is what is intended. But I'm also not feeling like there's any danger of that, now, with Lower Decks about to start.
 
Even if there is a drought, so what? People kept watching TOS over and over and over again from 1969-1987 with only four movies and two animated seasons added during that period. By the end of this year there will be forty-nine Star Trek episodes, ten Short Treks and three movies added since Enterprise went off the air in 2005 creating another drought. And if there is a drought, it'll only be a year or so. Considering we've gone through a combined amount of thirty years in the franchise's fifty-four year history without any new television productions, I think we can endure another year when there's eight hundred hours worth of content. If rewatching previous Treks doesn't appeal to you, watch another show, one you may not have seen. Or read a book.
 
I absolutely think they should re-master DS9 and Voyager. I think the drought of new product is exactly the reason to do it for the streaming service.

Yup. I don't see money being spent on that right now.
 
YOU GUYS! Why is it assumed that demand for physical media somehow equals demand for hd content? I'm not sure why TNG Blu ray sales were ever held against it. LICENSE that stuff. Like...do I have to explain the business model to these people. sheesh.. it is 2020.

Sorry for the snark. It just seems like a big duh to the suits.
 
Drought....

Lower Decks...August 6th.
Discovery October?

Filming on Picard, tentatively set for Sept
Filming on Discovery, set for Canada in February
Filming on SNW set for next year in Canada

I think they might need to explain the cost that are actually involved to the rest of us since the assumption is they can just do it with no issue.
