Man with the state Trek is in now, I wish we could go back to that time.
It was filled with so much joy and hope for the future of the Franchise
Agreed, Star Trek was so much more optimistic and interested in sci-fi concepts and good escapist storytelling. From the brief glimpse I took into the Kurtzman/Abrams idea of Trek, it seems to either want to be cool explosions or follow in the current trend of dark and edgy like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Ozark.
That's why people are enjoying The Orville, it's an escapist sci-fi series with a more optimistic outlook that is a welcome change from the same dark, gloomy trend that seems to be the benchmark for what is perceived to be "good" TV these days.
If someone isn't being a d@#k to another person, cheating, lying, trying to sleep with or kill them then execs think people wont watch it.
TV in these strange political times needs to be an escape from the darker tone of life we are constantly fed through the news.
We need the positive role models that Trek used to give us, strong, honest, moral leaders, scientists, engineers.
Where are the Picards, Janeways, Datas, Trips, Dax, Torres, LaForges, Spocks, Odos, Archers to inspire the next generation and give hope and optimism for our present and future?
