‘…to build that optimistic future that is Roddenberry’s essential vision?’ That is very much going to be at the heart of Starfleet Academy.
I certainly hope so. Star Trek should be optimistic. The Federation is a utopia. We don’t need grungy pessimism. Every other sci-fi is already doing that.
I don’t totally disagree, but I don’t agree either. Star Trek touches on a lot of issues of today, just from a futuristic perspective. It uses aliens to talk about race, for example. It doesn’t ignore race issues because their society isn’t racist anymore. It just recontextualizes it so people of today will see it and internalize it, but they won’t be offended by it.
The thing that makes great sci-fi is using their lense to examine real topics of today. If it doesn’t do this then it can only be mediocre at best.
If you recall, there was all this noise around Season 1 and Season 2 of Discovery because the streaming service, they were like, ‘Oh, it’s like a turnaround on a cop show.’ I’m like, ‘No, you don’t understand. It’s eight months of visual effects turnaround, and we’re not gonna rush that.’
I most certainly do not recall that, and it says a lot about the people running CBS All Access at the time.
Idk, “It’s like a turnaround cop show” kind of sounds a lot like “Screw you I don’t want to pay for another streaming service”. Perhaps he just misheard absolutely everyone.
I don’t think it’s relevant to make more 32st century content.
And, isn’t Star Trek: Legacy already supposed to be the “next next generation” sequel?
“Legacy” is an imaginary show. It’s never been put into development, and there’s no indication that will change.
Please. They don’t tease a new show by accident, or on the hopes alone. They also don’t increment the Enterprise letter without some solid buy-in from the network. Legacy is happening.
Literally no one but Terry Matalas has “teased” anything, and he’s been very open about the fact that there’s no movement whatsoever on it becoming a reality.

I’m not the one to ask.

None of that is true.
S31 was repurposed into a movie but it was on development for some time. Legacy was just wishful thinking by Terry Matalas.
IMHO Picard should have ended with an USS Picard instead of a new Enterprise. It was clearly just a hook from Matalas trying to get a new show
