    I disagree. I really enjoy this show and I can give the writers some creative license as a prequel for a show that’s almost sixty years old.

    Spock has to have a moment of crisis that brings him to the state of character he’s in in TOS. I think there’s plenty of room to breathe over the course of the show to allow that. I haven’t watched The Cage in several years, so I don’t exactly recall, however from what I do recall, Spock shows a lot more emotion in the pilot vs. the beginning of the series with Kirk.

      yea, I think this really does just fill in his arc, where he’s still learning how to be the Logical Vulcan, and he pushes farther and farther until you get to where he was in TMP, at the complete opposite, attempting to completely abandon all emotion.

      Then the rest of his arc after TMP is finding the balance.

      Sure, but they could do literally the exact same show but set further in the future.

      When they brought Star Trek back in the 90s we got three great shows that all did their own thing while making callbacks to - but not relying on - the original series.

      All of the new shows rely way too much on nostalgia and I just wish they’d move on.

        It seems that fan feedback is one of the reasons SNW exists. Which is fine; fan write-in campaigns and petitions are central to Star Trek.

        I do agree that a series outside TOS would be enjoyable, however that doesn’t seem to be in development right now (actually nothing is really in development right now). More than likely, I wouldn’t be surprised if Paramount pushed Star Trek: Legacy as a series after reception to the finale of Picard.

      This. It’s literally what we saw happen in DIS to get him from what we see in The Cage to what we see in SNW. There is no reason it can’t happen again.
