If SNW only gets 5 seasons as well

Interesting that they’re quickly pushing for letter-writing campaigns for something now, as the Skydance deal closes at last. I’ve never been one to speak in absolutes regarding business things none of us are privy to, but the timing is hard to ignore.

I dare say it might not even be a request just to tell the company if we want Star Trek: Year One; it might be an indirect directive to tell the company we want more Star Trek.
 
It's one reason the Kelvin universe was created (so it wouldn't step on TOS continuity).
It was created because the Studio thought there was too much Trek continuity; to the point that they thought it was was a barrier of Entry to many who felt they were passing on new Trek films if they didn't know a lot of the continuity behind the stories.

Kind of the way Disney and Kevin Feige view the current MCU situation; and why they are talking about a full reboot of that after the next few films.

It wasn't about stepping on TOS continuity; it was about restarting and simplifying it so that the general audience didn't feel they needed to know anything to enjoy a Trek film.

We now have streaming films (something that did not exist in 2009).

They might do a streaming film. A full-blown series? No. (Like it or not, the Kelvin films exist.)
 
Back in the day when seasons were 20-30 episodes, I use to say even the best shows should stop at 5 seasons because they usually peak by season 4. With this era of 10 episode seasons, really just miniseries, I say if its good stop at around season 8.SNW is still firing on all cylinders so clearly this has to do with money and budget.

SNW is the only nutrek show I've gotten into. I would prefer the next series being what they teased at the end of Picard. I'm far more interested in 7 captaining the latest Enterprise than I am some academy show with Discovery characters that I never cared about.
 
Thankfully they don't. Can you imagine how boring Star Trek would be in the writers were AS obsessed with canon as fans were? Christ, what a boring shitshow that would be.
Unfortunately, the only way to prove it's boring to those with this is to air it and it probably still wouldn't change opinions.
