Fair point.
Coffee laundering. It's like money laundering but smells better.
I agree with quite a lot of this. I prefer early TNG to later TNG by a long shot. Final Frontier is a *GREAT* TOS movie, and the Marshall fanedit is perfection. And you nailed my feelings on ENT - I'm actually (verrry slowly) watching the show for the first time, and I see a lot of the "big three" in Archer/Trip/T'Pol - I could absolutely see it as a reimagining of TOS, the emotional human and the logical Vulcan both informing the Captain's decision making as the ship encounters frontier-like environments and boldly goes..... even T'Pol as a genderbent Spock would fit the modern aesthetic of reboots. I noticed it early on, with the three of them meeting for dinner in Archer's quarters, I think. I really like ENT so far, by the way.
To me, DSC is Prime, but after at time-line rewrite, post FC and ENT, where the Borg tech kick starts upgraded technology and a more prominent Section 31, and replaces the original TOS portion of the timeline, in the original Prime Universe.

They'd need to launder it first, anyway.
I like the idea of a Section 31, all major planetary powers would have an extreme, dodgy, intelligence black ops organisation. Starfleet is not run by a bunch of Mother Theresas
Except the money is just as illegal.
"Starfleet is not a military organization. It's purpose is exploration."
Picard, "Peak Performance"
"Section 31 is not an intelligence organization. It's purpose is protecting the Federation."
Georgiou, SECTION 31 (Assuming that show will ever be made.)

That Axanar nonsense made me come this close to changing my username. But I didn't because that would suggest I give them legitimacy.
Garth of Izar is still a cool character. Alec Peters is the asshole.
Although the Axanar mess may be part of why Garth of Izar isn't mentioned on the list of Most Decorated Captains that Saru views in Season 1 of DSC. Why give Alec Peters further fuel for a tantrum?
I still want them to do a Short Trek or something that features the Battle of Axanar and have it not even involve Klingons.
I never even thought they were involved in the battle to begin with. TOS made the whole event sound like some internal crisis that helped keep the Federation together so the fewer Klingons and external powers the better.
Had Shatner had a tighter script and a better effects company TFF might be a more popular Trek movie with the fandom. Some of it was his own fault but much of it wasn't. A lot of factors combined to make that movie flop at the box office and with fans.
It was not horrible. It was mostly enjoyable. My main dislike? The cheap gags and the expense of the characters. There was a solid story there and you can see it.
In universe I just assumed he'd already gone nuts and the black mark on his record kept him from making that grade.
And STV also foreshadows Kirk's death.
"I always knew I'd die alone."
I told my wife about that dialogue after we watched GENERATIONS and it saddened her, despite her not wanting to watch TOS. Truthfully... that saddened me, too.

That's actually a pretty good theory. Why acknowledge the man after he went criminal on Antos IV?
