I mean SNW is just generally good quality Trek. If the only way we get good quality Trek is latching it to existing Trek eras, then fine.
But I think exploring new eras is what makes Trek fun and interesting. I wasn't a fan of the Discovery time jump, but the concept of The Burn was interesting. Once they had done it and began to explore it, I was interested, even as the quality was uneven.
I maintain that one of the biggest problems with Enterprise was that after three excellent 90s Trek shows we were ready to explore the galaxy. Especially after Voyager, we're finally home! But then we're reset back to the start. I was excited by Picard because we finally started exploring that era. Although we didn't really have a fun series in that era until Lower Decks.
But that's what excited me about Starfleet Academy. We're in the far future, we're rebuilding the Federation, we're starting with the cadets, I'm in! And... it's gone.
So if Year One is how we get good Trek, so be it. But I want to continue the stories we're already telling. We've already set it up after Picard season 3. We gave Seven a ship. Let's go follow that.
