For sure. I want a standalone series. Of the new shows, Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds got us closest to that. But they both feel like an homage to their counterparts (TNG and TOS respectively). I would appreciate a show like DS9 that takes a sort of “day in the life” appeal towards somewhere simple. They made a star base the entire show. I imagine they could take a newly colonized or colonizing planet and make a show about that. New plants, animals, dangers, phenomena, etc. I’m sure each planet could have plenty of stories to tell and subcultures to explore.
FNN exobiology documentaries narrated by a temporally-displaced David Attenborough
Iron Chef Qo’noS, inexplicably cohosted by Neelix and Joeseph Sisko even though both have to be holo-projected in from their homes on New Talax and Earth respectively, with judging by Q
Speaking of famous people’s voice-overs, I’m pretty sure technology has progressed to the point nowadays that you can train a local voice assistant to sound like the Star Trek computer voice even without the complete set of Majel Barrett’s phonetic recordings. I’ve been meaning to try that for a while, and now that I just got a new GPU I’ve got one less excuse not to…
Or maybe I should use Jeffrey Combs’ voice and make an AGIMUS voice assistant instead!

i really want a Star Trek show that does not play on a Star Fleet vehicle. Something like the Hansens from Voyager could be cool
I still want a series focused on other parts of the universe.
Imagine–
Star Trek: Warbird – Follows a Klingon ship. You keep the same premise of a starship travelling the galaxy, but angrily, lol.
Shark tank with Ferengi
Follow an unknown race for a season or two, learning their lore & culture, culminating in them getting assimilated by the Borg.
I have high hopes for Starfleet Academy, but I don’t want to have to subscribe to another steaming service to watch it… 🏴☠️
That gives me some ideas:
Rick Steves’ Alpha Quadrant

I’ve got a stray note to use David Attenborough’s voice-over for something Trek related, but haven’t buckled down to flesh it out.

Make the assistant, disseminate it to fans, have it switch itself to Agimus on April 1st (and a few other days of the year) with no warning.
