Exactly. And this is how I feel. What has been demonstrated, repeatedly now, with shows that are praised strongly is connecting back in to Trek's history, from Lower Decks, Picard Season 2, Prodigy, and now Strange New Worlds. What message is being sent?
I'm hoping that they show the beginning of the Kirk and Spock's friendship.
It's old home week.
From the perspective a studio counting cash? Fine.
From the perspective of art and story? Things are different.
One has to lead to the other. They entertain enough people or they don't remain on the air. TOS writer's bible.
Not really. Art is subjective. Memberberries doesn't mean it's bad art or a bad story.
The only 'perspective of art' that matters is whether it elicits an emotional response. Nostalgia is a powerful emotion.
Wut? Michelle Yeoh was literally listed as a Guest Star (or rather Special Guest Star if you want to be exact) in every episode she was in. How the hell can you claim someone who had "Special Guest Star" above their name was a regular and not a guest star?
Oh whatever, you obviously live in your own little world anyway where facts are meaningless.
Surely memberberries in Trek should be calling roddenberries. 
Can't it be both? Diana Muldaur was a series regular for season two of TNG despite being credited as a special guest star.
Foolishness so bold and wrong-headed requires a nuanced and thoughtful reply, at length.
Therefore, I shall address your assertion in two parts:
- Whose response?
- Nope.
Took a look at Anson Mount's and Paul Wesley's Twitter feeds and found these:

As far as I'm concerned, anyone billed as a guest star or special guest star is in no way a regular.
With the Kirk news, I’m predicting an episode titled Tomorrow’s Enterprise
Or, as there’s an episode called All Our Yesterdays, perhaps they’d go for a Shakespearean Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

1. Literally anyone.
2. Rejecting something so universally basic is odd, and you should take a mulligan.
I'm not gonna say which ship I'd like to see in this episode, but I will let you know that it'll be premiering on Tuesday.
The Orville already did that.
You don't know the artistry behind it or how it's going to be used in the story yet.
Of course not. This is all part of the traditional and highly ritualized Fannish Dance of Gloom and Despair accompanying any new concrete information about a Trek production which does not conform exactly to expectations that have been based on wishful thinking and little or no knowledge, often coupled with very personal but definitive interpretations of lines of dialogue, vague references and disputable statements presented now as "canon."
In many instances, the recital begins with a chant of "This info has me very worried."
