On one hand, I am glad Trek is still alive and kicking. On the other hand, I am worried all these new shows and spin offs, and spin offs of new shows will cause the franchise to go the way of Star Wars, constantly churning out new mediocre shows leading to viewer fatigue and disengagement.
One thing I think they’ve done exceptionally well is give each project its own tone and premise - that goes a long way to help prevent that feeling of oversaturation.
Notably, Andor was NOT run by Dave Filoni. I worry that having Alex Kurtzman as the “Star Trek Czar” is going to backfire. He’ll get overextended and he’ll want all of his projects to interact (please for the love of god please keep series comprehensible as a standalone). You see it happening now with all of the mediocre Star Wars content.

Except to use that analogy, all those star wars spinoffs gave us quite possibly the best piece of star wars media out there (Andor)
