Does anyone think Star Trek Legacy will ever happen?

I hope "Star Trek Legacy" doesn't happen because it's simply Star Trek yet again relying on the past and nostalgia as a crutch rather than putting out something completely new and fresh that has not connection to anything that came before.
bingo.

It would be them resting on their laurels, and milking nostalgia , instead of doing anything new
 
I hated that. It felt like they were deliberately trying to retcon TNG.
In what way? As was stated above O'Brien's mother handled and cooked real meat. Plus the Rikers weren't living on Earth and we've seen several planets cooking meat the traditional way and a lot of times when it's stated Humans don't do xyz it's very much just referring to Earth. I guess it depends on the interpretation of "enslaving animals for food" but it is also one solitary line of dialogue TNG itself retconned depending on how you interpret it.
 
I suppose it's an example of a convenient lie, told to immediately curb/discourage unwanted behavior. If you want someone to stop doing something because it disrupts your ship, which is easier in the moment? Tell them (for now) "we don't do that at all", or explain, "well, we do that too, but not the way you do, because we believe that"...etc.
