You'd get better odds on making Bernie President, than most of that happening.
I think the Lower Decks thing actually does have a good chance. Or at least the return of some of the characters. Mainly Boimler and Mariner.
I know you realise that 99% of fans see that chart like this:
Which itself was very poorly received. For the most part. It only hasn't been ignored yet because the franchise is lightly sleeping right now.
But was then followed by the crappy Highlander III. Which was then ignored by the crappier Endgame. The Source may or may not contradict Endgame, it is such an awful movie I cannot commit much of it to memory.
The Exorcist has many "ignored" sequels, not just II.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Halloween, that franchise is chock full of ignored movies.
I know you realise that 99% of fans see that chart like this:
And even the Kelvin Timeline Klingons are just TNG Klingons with no hair.
Which does not make it any more accurate.I know you realise that 99% of fans see that chart like this:
The Klingons have huge variety, never mind what I have seen in the comics over the years. I'd rather have something like Discovery and Kelvin over the ughly lumps of TMP, or the oddball of Kruge and Klaa.
There have really only been three types of Klingons: the TOS versions, the TMP/STIII/TNG versions, and the DSC versions. Any others were just variations of one of those three types.
The thing is that the people who actually wanted a Captain Sulu show, wanted Takei. Even if those same people still want that show, I would think that having Cho play the character now would defeat the purpose of a Captain Sulu show, which was for it to be a vehicle for Takei.
But that’s all moot, because I don’t see CBS giving Cho a Star Trek show, much less Takei.

Could you be more specific
To me most of those looks are basically the same with a few small details. The only big differences are the TOS ones with no ridges and Discovery where they went to far and made them orcs. I mean I don't mind giving them a extra penis and some pointy ears but you see need to stay in the ball park of what we fist saw in the TOS movies and made better on the Berman era shows. I also don't mind them changing outfits and new weapons and would love to see them explore more than just their warrior side. We did see some of that start on DS9 when we saw Klingon cooks and Lawyers and Martok was basically a working class guy and not from some noble fancy house. But if they look they are about to fight for Sauron then one has gone to far.
The one and only good addition they added to the lore.
To say nothing of the fact that every Trek series of the 2020s owes its existence to Disco. If Disco was was really considered a failure, there's no way we would have gotten Picard, Lower Decks or Prodigy either. Dare I even be so bold to point out that if Disco really were considered a failure, the Trek fandom never would have received the "divine gift" of the Lord Terry Matalas and his third season of Picard.
But, no, no, of course, the characters cry, the Klingons look weird, it does not embrace 1960s production values and it treats its lead character as the center of the universe. It is therefore of course The Absolute Worst and has eternally damned the Trek franchise.
Imagine a warrior's wrath when ED sets in double time.
No wonder Koloth & Kang were so pissed off on DS-9.
So I'm sitting here at work, looking for a podcast to listen to while I toil away. Unfortunately, most things I listen to still haven't come back from the holidays. One thing that I do see is the Inglorious Treksperts have a podcast about the best "war episodes of Star Trek." OK, what the hell, I'll give it a listen, nothing else to really listen to.
Right off the hop I find out that pompous asshole Robert Meyer Burnett is on. Ok, there's a notch against it. What proceeded was a solid 20 minutes of them gleefully declaring Discovery and SNW to be removed from the canon thanks to Lower Decks. It may have went on, I switched it off. The sound of machines blaring in my ears is a better alternative.
I mean, these assholes call themselves experts? Yet they willfully ignore things from the very fucking episode they're going nuts over? Nevermind the mountain of evidence from other sources?
Jesus H. Christ...... this fandom needs an enema.

For a podcast that proclaims to be “all about the love,” those bitter manchildren spend way too much goddamn time complaining about everything made between 2005 and spring of 2023. Each one of those “industry professionals” should be fucking embarrassed by their behavior.
According to the Internet Alex Kurtzman has been fired 5 times to date, but somehow refuses to leave and hasn't been escorted off the lot or stopped working on new Star Trek productions.
