Just thought about it with the latest announcement about a new Jurassic Park release.

The first one is a masterpiece, the sequels are debatable.

What do you think about this trend in the industry to juice the maximum out of every movie?

a bit disappointed to see the TOS Enterprise appear at the end of the first season of Discovery.

My memory is that many were to the point where there was some sort of consensus of concern about it loud enough that the show runners made assurances that S2 wouldn’t take place on the enterprise.

Sentiments have shifted since then, interestingly, to being more accepting of SNW evolving into a hard TOS prequel flirting with rebooting TOS. I can’t help but think it’s an MCU effect.

I think the fact that Anson Mount nailed it as Pike helped. (He followed in the footsteps of Jeffrey Hunter and Bruce Greenwood - all three Pikes have been really good.) Personally, I suspect that the more SNW edges towards being TOS the less I'll enjoy - or, more accurately, the less I'll respect - it.

Absolutely.

Mount nailing Pike though is part of my problem. SNW’s promise was that it could be a very independent fork of TOS, an alternate take on what the show could have been that also happened to be consistent with the canon due to the 10 year time jump between the two pilots and the few constraints canon put on the period.
