 While snowed in at home, I watched:
 
 Various YouTube videos.
 
 Pop Culture Breakdown | Captain America 4 Ticket Sales BAD | Skydance Wants
NuTrek CANCELED!:
 POP CULTURE BREAKDOWN returns as we discuss recent rumors that auditors for
Skydance have
 recommended canceling Kurtzman Trek and resetting the franchise to Star
Trek: Enterprise,

 
Well, it's not the best answer (if they mean the ST:E (2001-2005) TV
series, and not "Star Trek: Enterprise" generally).
 
But it feels like they lack imagination if they mean the latter - there
are a lot of ships from the era of ST:TOS, several of which ended up
getting toasted, which would probably be worth basing a TV series, or
limited series, around. Not every show needs to be set on the Enterprise!
 
Also, I thought the general perception was that "Star Trek: Strange New
Worlds" wasn't bad...

It started out really good when it was part of ST:DISCOVERY, then when it
became its own show, the first season was okay. Now it's devolved into all
sorts of wokeness and doing gimmicks like musical episodes.
