But, what does modern Trek know about morality, kindness and friendship?

Or, The Magic Shuttlecraft.
…looks very “Discovery-esque” to me…did they really just whistle the TOS theme??
Why is every “Kurtzman-Era” Trek trailer replete with with characters spouting inane monologues about “who we are”???

Agree with the observation regarding great—and insightful—speeches in Classic Trek…but you are describing a scene…not a trailer.
I am talking about the Nu-Trek “So Much Gravitas About Who We Are” trailer monologues….which are quite different.
It’s just an observation regarding the format they use…

The only ‘good’ Nu-Trek that we’ve gotten has been Prodigy and season 3 of Picard.
I have no interest in, nor will watch any Discovery spin offs. I don’t care that The Doctor is on it, or that they have DS9 Sisko and VOY Kim references.
The only Trek I’m willing to even consider watching from this group would be Legacy, with Captain of Nine.

Strange that fans actually “asked” for a Legacy show and they delivered…Starfleet Academy instead?
I don’t get it.
That’s right…Legacy is not “An Alex Kurtzman Joint”…

Academy was already in the works before PS3 aired.
Whistling the theme in-universe.... I swear... it's offensively, objectively bad at this point.
It feels very strange loving a franchise so much, with it being such an influence all my life, yet having zero interest in watching several years of programming from it.

I am absolutely convinced that it's because of spite. Just look at Klutzman's reaction in that clip when a journalist asks him about Legacy and he stumbles into an awkward "we hear you" comment.

You’d think that with 32 executive producers for each series, at least one of them would ask what the fans actually want.
I thought I recall that it was in “development” at the time and not yet filmed?

I’m certainly no lawyer, but I believe “in development” and “in the works” may plead similar.
If Batgirl is proof…any project may be shelved at any point in the production…”pay or play” contracts are paid out in Hollywood, all the time, with no product seeing the light of day.
On the subject of Star Trek, you can read about the “pay or play” contracts that were paid out to cast members, to lock-in their availability, throughout the 1970’s, while the project went through several iterations on the way to ST: TMP.
Anyway, I’m out of this topic.
These New Trek topics have grown tiresome, and the inevitable track of the threads really doesn’t add a lot of positive value to the forum, I suppose.

Yes, it's a form of legal money laundering. Case in point: The Acolyte.

I can see it now. The first episode: some rando teen “Starfleet” ensign or midshipman, will “find love” with a big green dude from Climax IV but, before she can tell him, an Orion attacks the ship, causing the toilet he was sitting on to be blasted into a “subspace filament”, which then actually turns out to be Q in disguise. Hell-bent on saving the teen, I mean, ensign, some rando teen engineering trainee thinks up a “tachyon thingy”, and couples with some type of vague “nutrinos”, and BAM! Love story solved! The teen ensign and her green toilet dude can "get busy" as the ship flies off for the next "adventure".
Next episode: an alien comes aboard, bypassing every single safeguard designed to keep aliens out, and takes a teen hostage, only to be confused by their love of a 20th Century singer named “Taylor Slow”, then the titular ensign melts down when her toilet-using green dude again gets pulled into yet A.N.O.T.H.E.R. “subspace” rift of some kind, requiring the captain to find a new way using a warp engine, Cool-Whip, Gatorade, and “positrons” to reverse time.
Meanwhile, in next week’s episode, a helmsman, this time with tentacles, gets involved in a ship-board game of strip poker with other teens, only to discover the person who’s losing is wearing 48 pairs of Talaxian underwear, and everyone knows that Talaxian tighty-whities can only be removed with a “subspace harmonic frequency of 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, accelerating the undies to 88mph, which then takes our “intrepid crew” to the planet Crotchrobber 3, where Trelane’s 5th cousin's college roommate, twice-removed, is busy “playing with her predators”.
Hopefully, Paramount/CBS will come to their senses and pull the entire thing before yet A.N.O.T.H.E.R. episode of teens in space, stuck with other teens in space, finding their way as, you guessed it, through space in teen-like manner, can make its way to the airwaves. And before I forget, we must remember that in each and every incident that happens involving teens in space, their "sage wisdom" comes from a blonde captain named "Captain Helen Parr” who sounds suspiciously like Elastigirl.

The fact that there’s a female Jem’ Hadar, proves that the ‘creative’ team either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about real Trek!
