SNW actually presents a good opportunity to dust off and retool any unused Phase 2 or TNG scripts.
Have you read the plot description of the Phase 2 episodes? Most of them didn't sound particularly good.
I just finished a complete rewatch of DSC.
It's probably been mentioned, but I'm hoping for more Sarek and Amanda. They did those characters proud.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd is aMudd...must have. Even a repeat visit by Queen "Po" if it fits in somewhere, if for no other reason than she's adorable..
Of course a lot of this depends on the number of episodes and number of seasons we end up seeing, but the more "episodic" nature should allow for the appearance of these characters.
Post Cage to WNMHGB could give us Boyce or Piper as CMO.

Hope they use the klingon Kaaj as a nemesis for him! As told in the comics.
2 of them became TNG episodes: The Child, Devil's Due. And one became TMP.
To be fair, masculine aesthetics were not the same in the 1960s as they are today. Fit, yes. Muscle-bound no. Look at the other leading men of the day. None of them were hard-bodied. Shatner looked just fine.
It does feel that the standards for "manliness" in general culture (and which reflects in our art like tv shows and movies), around the world, have gone up to extremely high, possibly unattainable for many, levels in recent years.
It doesn't help that we're all working more than ever before. Even during quarantine with home work at this time. The last thing most men want to do after a hard day's work at the office is go to the gym. If I did that or took martial arts classes or whatever, I'd see my cat even less than I did (pre-quarantine I mean, now I work from home during the pandemic).
I was mostly just memeing but you're right.
In my estimation, Mudd should really not encounter the Enterprise (and especially Spock). He'd be a better fit over at the Section 31 show, maybe even as an asset, given his history with Tyler. They could probably do something with Baron Grimes and his organization, though.
Boyce may have retired and Piper might come along with Kirk, so the show could quite reasonably feature a brand new CMO.
Mudd would certainly add something interesting to a S31 show, and based on many reactions over these months, it could use the help. No reason he couldn't appear in both. I really liked Rainn's more malevolent take on the character.
How about Star Trek: NCC-1701. No bloody A, B, C or D!
Mudd encountering the Enterprise before might be ok as he's pretending to be someone else in his first TOS appearance, but he can't encounter Spock. Maybe they'll have to have Spock away on a mission every time Mudd shows up.
Pike: Spock, you missed Mudd again!
Spock: Fascinating.
Do NOT give them ideas.
I don't want them doing with Spock what Smallville did to Lex in their last episode.
They'll do a prequel of Amok Time taking place in 2260, 7 years before the TOS episode. Spock's actual real first Pon Farr that he later kept secret. After Mudd connects Spock with a female Orion friend of his to "help" him with his Pon Farr of 2260, Spock officially denies the whole incident ever happened and states he will deny knowing Mudd if they meet in the future. Mudd, ever the opportunist, then provides the video he secretly recorded of said "help" to T'Pring in exchange for a not insignificant amount of latinum. Enraged by what she sees in the video, T'Pring starts an affair with Stonn leading directly to TOS.
