There are a lot of people who want Star Trek to be Ricky and Morty, True Detective, or Stranger Things. They want this marvelous franchise to "expirament" in ways that don't help it grow. Time and time and time again we find out that the best Star Trek are the shows that stick to being Star Trek.
When Star Trek: Enterprise dropped the 'Star Trek' to just be Enterprise, fans weren't happy with it. When Star Trek's Discovery and Picard went super dark, fans were unhappy about it. When the franchise launched Lower Decks, fans weren't happy with it. Save for Discovery's later seasons and Picard's last season, none of those shows really trended well with the fandom or the casuals.
Yet, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a ratings hit. Why? Because it adhered to the old formula of Star Trek shows. Which is what Star Trek fans want. We want that "sameness". There are other franchises for other feelings. If I want a good comedy, I don't want to watch Star Trek. I'll put on New Girl, Super Store, Chuck, or something else that I find charming and witty.
If I want a horror show, I'll watch something like The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass or something else. If I want an animated show, one geared towards adults, I'm not going to pick a wannabe Rick and Morty clone. Most people don't. Star Trek trying to be like other shows feels like the "we have ___ at home" meme.
"I want Ricky and Morty", "We have Rick and Morty at home". Only it's not Ricky and Morty, it's Lower Decks. The experiment only worked because the need for content, whether it was popular, well-received, or even watched was not as important as building up a back catalog of exclusive content.
That philosophy proved to fail. Fans don't want "new" from established franchises. They are popular for a reason. They want more of what they love. There's a reason why Paramount brought back Dexter, again, for the second time in 17 years. They're not writing new songs, they're just playing the hits.
It's still just Dexter, but more of it. It's a winning formula, which is why a new Dexter series, much in line with the original, the continuation, and the prequel, is coming. It's because Paramount knows fans want more of what they love. Not, this.
Star Trek didn't "fix" the issues of the 2000s, as some like to claim. They just created new ones. New problems, like ignoring what works for something that might work. Destroying established lore just for a new creator to leave their mark. They're throwing out what worked because once, in 2005, a network was upset that one of their most popular shows wasn't doing as well as they wanted it.
Despite no advertising or any real support. Star Trek: Enterprise is that show and that show didn't die due to fatigue, it died because the network wanted to do something different with a franchise that for nearly 20 years, was very fond of what they were getting.
Fixing something that wasn't broken will only ever lead to other things breaking. If you want Star Trek to be something other than Star Trek, there are plenty of other shows you should enjoy. Stop warping Star Trek into something it's not before you destroy the core fandom's desire to keep investing in it.
