I think if they want to keep making Star Trek shows they need to quit it with the lore shit and go back to the spirit of TOS where it was a borderline anthology series slash way to farm work out to the best working SF/pulp writers. Down with thematic consistency, up with letting someone who wrote a few short stories you liked go hog wild on a script

Into DS9 or maybe Voyager, the Star Trek series’ were the last shows to accept, buy, and shoot episode pitches from outsiders

That used to be the standard up til the 80s when writing staffs got bigger (that’s why that’s when multi-episode throughlines and worldbuilding coherence started to show up and before that characters were a collection of easily graspable traits and a catchphrase)

* except Writers’ Guild rules are you have to take one pitch a year but that’s manipulated and rewritten by senior writers
