They’d have to set it before 2401 because they all would have been murdered by borgified lower deckers on Frontier Day.

VOYAGER managed to make a bunch of great episodes: "LIVING WITNESS", "BLINK OF AN EYE", "DEATH WISH", "MELD", "DISTANT ORIGIN", "YEAR OF HELL" two-parter, "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE", "COURSE: OBLIVION", "TIMELESS", and some more.
DISCO couldn't manage to make one great episode. At best, a few decent to pretty good ones here and there.
So yes, I stand by my statement that DISCO is EASILY the worst in the franchise.

They'd do such a great job taking the piss out of unnecessary reunion slop like Picard season 3.
"So you're saying out of the thousands of captains in Starfleet the galaxy can only be saved by us four and we can't even involve our crews?"
"Yep."
"All because of a minor peripheral connection we had to this thing thirty years ago?"
"Yep."
"Awesome!"
And they'd bring back characters like Jet Manhaver, Jennifer and Ma'ah just to pointlessly kill them off.
And then at the very end have someone say they're all still alive.
"But I saw him get shot!"
"Boims, no one dies in a reunion special."
Killing off Jennifer would be mean and unnecessary.
I really really miss Lower Decks. It had such potential, and should have gone on forever, like South Park , Simpsons , etc.
Futurama and Family Guy did come back, so i have a small sliver of hope. Animation means it's easier to get the gang back together again. No need to build sets.

Tell me about it. Still having my fingers crossed plus praying and hoping against hope for a sequel spinoff continuation.
That's what rewatches are for.
"Good bye, Lower Decks. I'll miss you. You had such potential, but then all good things must come to an end."
It should have continued until they got all the movie posters.
THAT is what the Lower Decks Blu-Ray set should have included: The SNW episode!
I had mixed feelings about Lower Decks when I heard the announcement, but thought it could be good. I watched the first episode and enjoyed it, but I hated the call outs. They didn't feel organic to the story, there were way too many and came off as "see, we the writers know our Trek". The Gary Mitchell one in the first episode comes to mind as an example.
So that aspect was hurting what was an otherwise enjoyable show. They got better over time and call backs seemed to be better integrated without coming off as "See? We know Trek!". As time passed I definitely enjoyed it more than crap like the last two Berman shows, DSC, and PIC. It's got heart, it's funny, it was a much more positive show that embraced the geekiness of Trek more than I expected (Tendi, Rutherford and Boimler's love of things that most would consider tedious as an example) and in the end it's one of my favorite Trek shows on a list that contains about three Trek shows.
I have to say, I didn't like the ending where it became "DS9 with an interdimensional wormhole". I loved the Starbase 80 concept and would've loved to see a show set on it as it originally appeared. A vortex of weirdness that no one can explain or fix. I loved that. The ending seemed too conventional. Ah well....
Well that's some bullshit. They included "Trial and Tribbleations" in both the DS9 set and the Star Trek blu rays.
