That song is a matter of taste. I think it's horrible, like from some cheesy teen drama. Yep, Enterprise started slow, but there is no room for that in modern tv. Series will be axed quickly if it's not good from the start (people will abandon it)

No. Just no.
I don't want any issue awkwardly included, sure. But if they can include it and make it mesh smoothly with the overall story, then there can be no objection to that. It respects the issue, it respects the audience.
You can get a guest star from other series playing all sorts of characters. Tim Russ played a mercenary type, he played a Klingon mercenary, a B bridge officer and then went on to play Tuvok. Noone objected. You can bring relatives of different characters on as well. But they should do what TNG did in the first few seasons; little to no direct reference to any other series. Allow the series to be a series in its own right.
Alot of these new series do 13 episodes. Allows attention to detail that would not otherwise occur. It's always agony to wait almost a year for something you like. But that won't undermine the show; rather it'll enhance its prestige and have people begging for more.
Bottom line is that if I don't like it -- which I might not -- I'll simply step aside from it.
Yeah, I had the same reaction.
Spock, McCoy, Sarek and Spock all appeared on TNG.
Picard, Lwaxana Troi and Q all appeared on DS9, as well as a passel of classic series Klingons.
Riker, Q, Troi and Barclay all appeared on Voyager.
Riker and Troi appeared on Enterprise, as well as an ancestor of Soong..
Janeway and a different EMH had cameos in TNG movies.
Guest appearances from characters from others series have happened fairly often.

I think you forgot to mention Spock.
Don't forget Scotty! He had a very memorable two-episode arc on TNG.
But anyway, yeah.... the other guy who said the other shows didn't do it must not be watching. I think most fans love the occasional inclusion of a past character. It connects the larger Universe, and these are usually good episodes.
And Quark on TNG and VOY, Bashir on TNG, Tom Riker on DS9...the list goes on and on.
Star Trek Online has brought back a plethora of familiar people to voice their characters in the 25th Century (and now 23rd for Agents of Yesterday) carrying on the 'crossover guest' tradition
A two-episode arc? I remember "Relics", but no second episode...
I misremembered. Whatever. It was a good episode.
It's just too bad STO was a dreadful game. When I played it in BETA I was SO bored. When I played SWG I was captivated at first.
I'd love to see any of the TNG cast or Kate Mulgrew in a (very brief) cameo in the new series.
Quark on TNG?And Quark on TNG and VOY, Bashir on TNG, Tom Riker on DS9...the list goes on and on.
Also, "Blood Oath" featuring Kor, Koloth and Kang.
Quark wasn't on TNG but Armin Shimmerman (Quark) played another Ferengi on TNG.
Quark appeared in TNG in Firstborn and VOY in Caretaker.

I think that's a reasonable estimate. HBO gave Game of Thrones $5-6 million per episode in the first season, and that was a very unsure project. No one would have expected it to get as big as it did. Another example is The Expanse, like you said. $5 million per episode for 13 episodes is likely.
Ahh yes. I tend to block Season 7 from my memory.
eh, what? I felt Season 2 was the weakest. wasn't the budget cut for it? no Dr. Crusher....
It's unfortunate TNG didn't get 8 seasons like they were thinking of doing. It's personally my favorite series although all are great in their own way
