As well as variety. Something for everyone, rather than straight jacketed as one thing.

We hate new things. Then we love them. Sometimes it takes a season. Sometimes a decade.
Negativity works as clickbait.
We've been over this (Repeatedly) ...
Seven is flawed. She's good (-ish) now because she has a LONG history of doing some VERY bad things.
To me, she's much more relatable than Pike or Picard. She's not a paragon of virtue.
You don't want TTNS* which isn't a "good captain" show? My heads spinning!!!!
I don't like shows that scream, "We don't have the budget to do anything better."
Still gonna be a good captain show. Which was my point.We've been over this (Repeatedly) ...

That’s an odd interpretation of “half hour sitcom”. It very well may cost as much as the other shows when it comes to VFX, sets and costumes. I doubt it will be a three camera comedy filmed in front of a live studio audience.
The tension is what makes her fun to watch.
She started out in 1998 as Trek's answer to Xena. (She doesn't want to go back to that Dark Place. She's gone back there several times and she can't do it anymore. She can't BE that person anymore.)
They wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't on a budget (The whole point is to save money. They wouldn't be doing it if it was going to cost as much as Strange New Worlds.)
This may be Alex Kurtzman throwing Paramount a bone ("You want Trek on a budget? I can give you Trek on a budget!")

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was also Trek on an extremely thin budget, what's your point?
There's thin budgets ... and then there's MICROSCOPIC budgets.
Again, you've no idea what this show will cost.
No. But the running theme of Paramount+ is two live action shows, coupled with cheaper to make animated shows. I have a hard time believing they are going to ante up for a third high budget show. Especially, given the finances of Paramount.
I assume less than an hour long, but probably more than the average sitcom. Neither of which will be “microscopic “.
Well, Hollywood doesn't seem to do microscopic any more. Even cheap movies cost $40-50 million dollars.
It is all relative. No, Mississippi, you can't kiss it...
Y'all is plural.Shouldn't it be "Y'all can't kiss it?"
Nah, I got the joke. But as a son of the South I had to correct you.
