Star Trek appears to have peaked with The Next Generation which surpassed the Original Series when it reached 100 episodes, a feat the original series could not achieve. The Original Series has made a comeback with the most recent movies, and the Next Generation is going out in a blaze of glory with the Picard series.
We don’t need to drive Star Trek into the ground with any more mediocre new series.
The Original Series with only 75 episodes was able keep the fandom alive for more than 20 years until the Next Generation.
The Next Generation took that life and used it to fully realize Gene Roddenberry’s vision.
Star Trek can survive and thrive forever off the combined might and legacy of the Original Series and the Next Generation.
Every other Star Trek series is suckling off the success of those two shows.
