What's the alternative?
Yet another, reboot/reimagining with Kirk and Spock? No thanks.
You could set a new series in the future or the past with new characters sure, but the fact of the matter is that Voyager and Enterprise were terrible.
Discovery is a mess of creatives pulling one way and the studio another, barely adhering to Gene Roddenberry's themes and established ideas.
We'll see how this turns out, roll the dice enough and you're bound to get a six eventually.
Looking forward to Quentin Tarantino's effort and this, if they're both awful it's not going to be the end of the world. The franchise already survived Nemesis.
