It was intended to reach a different slice of the potential audience, to draw new demographics to the franchise.
Many of us didn’t think that either Lower or Prodigy would be something we’d want to see and they’re favourites.

It’s a direct-to-streaming movie with the winner of the Best Actress Oscar.
Calling it an ‘event’ is fair in this case.
I’m basing on the images provided to promote the series (in the attached article).
Glad to hear that TAS is still attracting new viewers.
I love TAS, and I hope the shorts are good.
I’m sad that they’re not going with the team that actually reconstructed the art Filmation art style for Berman-era shows.
There just doesn’t seem to be a limit to the amount of hype I’m willing to soak up in anticipation of this crossover.
Nothing close to too much as yet.
I feel this is a ripoff of the concept done as fan art by the professional creators at Gazelle Automation.
I find the art style inferior and not really seriously trying to replicate TAS while the Gazelle Automations pieces worked to be very faithful to the original Filmation style and colours.
Why not hire the creatives in Canada?
Very disheartening.
I’m really looking forward to the Shax-focused one.
I have found the IDW comics hit-and-miss but some of them are great.
The Lower Decks sequence was marvellously well done.
The latest rumours before the strike characterized the movie as a cross between MI and Guardians of the Galaxy.
If they broaden out an ensemble to include other legacy characters across the franchise with S31, intelligence and/or temporal shenanigans, it could be a lot of fun.
It’s geared to families but not children only.
It’s fantastic. Many fans will argue it’s the best of the current group of new shows.
It is intended for people with no experience of Star Trek though so it starts out feeling more like another franchise in the Pilot. By the 6th episode it’s unapologetically very Star Trek.
See my new post with Waltke’s toots please.
He’s confirming the physical media release for September .
Frustrated to learn that the DVD and BlueRay preorder for episodes 11-20 was pulled.
I hadn’t been aware but just checked my preorder status to find a ‘something went wrong’ message.
I wasn’t happy to see a dermal regenerator this early in the 23rd century, let alone as a widely available first aid instrument.
It’s been a bit of a puzzler as a technology. I’m not aware of any technobabble in Alpha, onscreen canon that explains how it works.
I really find that the beta-canon explanation in the relaunch books makes a great deal of sense in-universe. That is, that the dermal regenerator is a small, constrained application of the Genesis technology developed by Carol Marcus.
All to say this is a bit of a nitpick about a lost opportunity to make the dermal regenerator less of ‘magic in a chassis’ while providing a clear pathway for some of the technological progress from the 23rd to 24th centuries. Still reconcilable as a small temporal change within the river of the Prime continuity though.
I’m also feeling this way, but moreso, about implied propulsion speeds. SNW keeps giving us dialogue about galaxy-level reach in exploration or the Federation rather than just a portion of a quadrant or two. With several repeats this comes across as factual rather than hyperbole.
Having Starfleet exploring the entire galaxy in the 22nd century seems to imply crossing the line in terms of changing the timing or sequence of major first contact events or conflicts with the Borg or Changelings. I hope they back off on this.
