It is easy to be jaded, but it's no coincidence that Lower Decks and SNW are the most highly regarded current Trek shows...they both "get" what Star Trek is.
As long as they keep away the shitty scripts and writers, they'll hopefully keep up the same level of quality
This as well - the IP was suffering HEAVILY after the first couple seasons of Discovery and Picard. You can't kill the golden goose - if you completely alienate your Trek fanbase, it becomes less profitable. SNW was their attempt to woo the fanbase back.
It's sort of like how Filoni got more sway with the Star Wars IP - the new Trilogy did decent box office, but it weakened the IP. It failed to bring in new fans (ie, kids) and it alienated the existing fans, which threatened the real money maker: All the merch.

Just started watching, episode 2 now, digging the plot so far. Buuuut... is this going to be Charlies Angels, Pike with all his super ladies? I feel like we have an Uhura packing more meat than previously.

It seems like that's the only modern Star Trek people want to watch. I still see people on Reddit (a woke audience) say it was the best part of watching Discovery (they aren't wrong). Even the woke people hate the woke shows. Not surprised they already got renewed for multiple seasons after the first season validated that a whole show would work. .

Ya, it was basically a virus created by a Soong that altered their DNA and made them look human to explain the ToS Klingons. They mention it would eventually reverse in time, but it would take a while.
They could always retcon the Discovery Klingons as an attempt to accelerate the changes, but the changes went a little too hard
