Would you accept a TOS-era spinoff with updated visuals, but otherwise kept established continunity?

That's pretty much what they did for the Defiant in ENT. It looked great, but it also looked a little dated.

It would be a thrill to see it once in a modern context. But I don't want it to be the weekly sets.

The short answer: YES!!!!

I think While I wouldn't call it shallow, it didn't exactly spend a lot of time in the deep end either. It touched on serious topics, but not in a way that one would call deep.

Yes, it did. But if one just expects "product television", just action/adventure, that's all one is going to see. You're going to emphasize the aspects you most connect with, that most appeal to you. I'm not an action/adventure fan. I'm in it for other things. I've spent 50 years getting more and more from the ideas in ST, with each viewing. I get none of that from the Abrams movies.

I don't expect any new TOS era trek to look like its set in the 1960's. A computer sounding like a mechanical robot, PADDS everywhere unless Earth and the rest of the Federation had some kind of Dark ages of tech, would have viewers laughing all the way to the standby switch muttering and this is meant to be set in the 23rd century?
As for continuity only if it relates to characters, I don't expect to see Geordi La Forge, Jean Luc Picard or any character from ST TNG unless they are long lived Vulcans and Klingons named Sarek and Koloth.

A similar look doesn't mean everything has to function the same way. Apple's consumer technology undoubtedly took design cues from the 50s and 60s, but obviously doesn't function like tech of that time. http://www.cultofmac.com/188753/the-braun-products-that-inspired-apples-iconic-designs-gallery/

And piles of PADDS laying around everywhere was a TNG-era trope anyway...

One of the main things about the post-war modernist design aesthetic in general is that it was quite minimalist and clean. IMO, 2001: A Space Odyssey is the best representation of such an aesthetic being applied to a futuristic science fiction setting.

I would love for a new Trek show to look something like this.

So you want the arstethics if TMP? After all, TMP was inspired by 2001...

BTW, would anyone be opposed if a "real world" Starfleet had the look and design inspired by the ALIEN film series, where the uniforms were a slight upgrade from the designs of a modern US Navy, mixed in with feel of NASA? And that the control panels, while advanced, did not look too futuristic? I am basing my thoughts on ALIENS, PROMETHEUS AND COVENANT.

I would love a series like Trek with the designs like Alien

TMP is the bastard child of 2001 and TOS.

TMP is the bastard child of 2001 and TOS.

With a little Close Encounters of the Third Kind thrown in.

I prefer a Chinese military look
