i’m a millennial, my dad just barely turned 60

i want to see new characters do new things

i would think continually rehashing characters from the ‘60s is a move meant to appeal to people in their 60s.

i’m much more interested in the Star Trek: Legacy pitch, but even then i want them to keep legacy characters limited to guest appearances so that the new crew has a chance to stand on its own.

Exactly this.

As an example, watching Strange New Worlds is great, but they can't put certain characters in life threatening situations, because we know that they'll survive. They're not going to kill off Kirk before he takes command.

It limits the story in some ways. Give us something new where anything can happen.

Give us Kirk's time on the Farragut before the Enterprise was even a thought.
