1) I want it. 2)I thought Lower Decks was very funny :-). Except 1.) I don't think most fans want that, and 2.) the humor that they are actually providing isn't that funny.

No one said you had to like it because you are a Star Trek fan.
My point was, and is, if in 2020 the network executives said, "We think Star Trek fans in aggregate would enjoy a show like Lower Decks," then they were absolutely correct. It's an objective fact. Pretending that they made the wrong decision, because it's supposedly juvenile, has crass humor, or whatever, is, well, just pretending.
So, what you're saying is that the powers that be decided to make five shows, each of which they knew 80% of the fan base would dislike??!This is incorrect. LDS is not indicative of what the majority of Trek fans want. If anything, it's 1/5 of what Trek fans want, because the whole idea of making five different shows at once was to cater to specific fans' perceived wants. And just because a show has some accolades means nothing if the concept of the show isn't what 4/5 of Trek fans in general want to see.

That's ludicrous, utterly ridiculous.
You're the one who equated how many have enjoyed a show with how many wanted it. Given that you made those equivalent, by responding to my statement about what fans would enjoy in aggregate with a claim that it was incorrect due to a second claim how many actually wanted it, it's literally exactly what you said.No, that's not what I am saying. I am saying that they were trying to cater to different demographics. Not that they actively produced a show that they knew people would hate.![]()

I'm sure they never thought that literally all Trek fans want lots of humor. I expect they understand that with quite a few Trek fans humor is a difficult concept, because it is not logical.I said that CBS/Paramount seems to think that all Trek fans want lots of humor. And they are wrong.

What kind of animation are you talking about? Can you give an existing animated movie or show as an example?I could accept that if iot was high-class animation with characters realy looking like living beings and not just cartoons.

There is always anime. The Japanese have shown time and time again that they are fully capable of making Space Drama, (although most of them revolving around war like Gundam, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Starship Operators)What kind of animation are you talking about?

Are we talking Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame type realism when several of the main characters (Esmeralda, Phoebus, Frollo) had more realistic proportions to their faces?
No, those look too cartoonish.It might work.

I don't know if such a need exists though.

I wish Picard had never been made. It has essentially ruined TNG for me. When I watch now, all I see is the idiocy of Robot Picard.
No thanks. As much as I love TNG, I find that idea just as unappealing as the idea of (another) animated show based on TOS.
I also feel the TNG crew isn't all that visually interesting for an animated series, and having it take place in "Year 8" would pretty much prevent the introduction of new main characters.
What for? It wasn’t his fault…
She gets an unfair rap. Iirc, she’s not actually at the helm—and even if she had been, the ship has been gutkicked and is going down. Piloting skills can’t fight gravity.Yeah, Troi was probably at the helm.
No, I want them to look much more real than this.If you want a realistic "cartoon", I think GITS art style would suit Star Trek. Although I think a slightly more cutesy art style would be better for TNG, GITS is more for DS9
