I very much wanted SNW to be its own show for at least a few seasons.
It’s not the Pike’s Enterprise I fan-campaigned for based on The Cage or Discovery season two.
I’m enjoying it for what it is even so, and accepting that the powers that be at Paramount wanted ‘familiar faces’ in their new Star Trek offerings, which means legacy characters. It’s the best of the new live action Trek whatever. All to say that I appreciate your frustration, I’ve decided to make peace with it myself.
