I disagree. I think the Dominion War context is way too important.

I kind of feel like Prodigy struggles the first half of the first season… as a Prodigy lover, I’ll say it certainly gets there, but even then, let’s say it wasn’t until season 2 that Jankom Pog no longer made me want to find out what Tellarite carnitas taste like…
If I’m paying five figures, that Miranda better have explosives in it for true authenticity!
Not OC, by the way. Just relevant fan art that I know of.
The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.
Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”
“This is Dan, and that’s Dan, and there’s Marty at the helm to complete the crew. And I’m John and he is also John and all of us are wondering when you’re gonna die.”
Or Aurelan Kirk. Or Peter Kirk
Now I just envision Batman saying,”Today is a good day to die!”
Yeh. I totally could compress this to crap, but I didn't.
While certainly a weird idea, a TOS continuation series might not be so bad done right. I might love another episode where Uhura takes command, except it isn't just because all the men on the ship are under the influence of space sirens.
Overall, the idea kind of reminds me of when they considered reusing the assets of the cancelled Secret of Vulcan Fury to make a CGI TOS continuation, though it didn't work out for several reasons, I'm guessing in part because of the death of DeForest Kelley.
But honestly, I can see the sentiment of not wanting it - I think we do need a purely new Trek era, something like the mid 25th century or sometime in the 26th century.
Holes and crap! Measure of a Man might be genius. Intellectually engaging, good acting, but boring (no offense) enough that other parts of the show can impress as well!
