The executive producer in charge of the Star Trek Universe gave an overview of how Strange New Worlds would have a different style and tone from Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard:

"I think Strange New Worlds, under the guidance of Henry Myers and Akiva Goldsman, it’s going to be a return in a way to TOS [Star Trek: The Original Series]. We are going to do stand-alone episodes. There will be emotional serialization. There will be two-parters. There will be larger plot arcs. But it really is back to the model of alien-of-the-week, planet-of-the-week, challenge-on-the-ship-of-the-week. With these characters pre-Kirk’s Enterprise. I think what people responded so much to in all three characters is this kind of relentless optimism that they have. And that they are at the young phase of their careers."

I am more optimistic for this than I was for either Picard or Lower Decks. I have no interest in ever watching the latter, the first Trek I will never see, but I am hopeful for Strange New Worlds. I'd never heard of Mount before, but loved him as Pike, and look forward to seeing him, Number One, and Spock return.

I am being optimistic as well. Go back to old school Trek. No more of this galactic threat per season arcs that Picard and Discovery made a Trek thing.

Sounds like a good plan to get back to something more enjoyable for more viewers.

Yes, exactly. That's what I want to see, what Trek is about.

With what's in lower decks... I'm not optimistic
