Star Trek is dead
We have never had so many Trek shows ongoing at once: Picard, Strange New Worlds, Discovery, Prodigy, and Lower Decks. Prodigy is with Wesley Crusher so... We'll see how that is, and Discovery is kind of a steaming ball of shit, but the others are decent.
destruction of Star Trek both in theatres
The Trek movies have always kind of sucked, some more than others, but the best movie was Wrath of Khan.

Picard is an abomination that humiliated Picard, destroyed the canon of TNG and didn’t even tell a decent story.
What is coming out about these shows is that the production teams actively dislike the source material/originals. The production team on The Witcher used to make fun of the books and games, and that’s ultimately why Henry Caville quit.
The sad fact about Star Trek is that Seth MacFarlane, a massive ST:TNG fan, put a bid in to buy the rights to make a new raft of ST shows in the same canon as TNG, and they refused him - which led him to make The Orville, which is brilliant. ST under him would have been amazing.

God it's a crazy world where Seth MacFarlands goofy Trek ends up being way better than anything since Voyager.
Picard was.so horrible anyone connected to that project really deserves to never work in entertainment again.

Lower Decks is on par with the Orville for sheer hilarity (Mike McMahon is a good steward), and SNW is just great. Prodigy is a kids show. Disco is meh (each season is better than the last, but given how bad 1 was, that's hard to recover from), and Picard was a travesty. It's really hit-and-miss right now (kinda like 90's trek...).

90's trek had bad episodes but didn't really do the all in serialized shit. Lower decks is alright I enjoyed it. Strange New World's haven't seen it yet. Eventually will. Probably when season 2 comes out.

Yea that's a big aspect. Old-school (pre-rebirth) Trek was entirely episodic except for the experiments in DS9 and Enterprise. Both of which, it's quite easy to forget in hindsight, were badly received at the time but are now (at least, for DS9), looked upon as some of the best parts of the franchise. The downside of super-serialized TV is that if it sucks, it all sucks, there's no "good episodes" buried in it. Which is the fatal flaw of Discovery and Picard.
Thankfully you might be happy to know that SNW is entirely episodic; you don't need to watch them in order, and each episode is entirely self-contained. Definitely check it out of you like old-school Trek storytelling style. The last episode is especially amazing if you are a fan of TOS Balance of Terror, but I won't say more than that.
