I found SNW's handling of Khan to be inconsistent with preexisting canon. I know the fact that it's time travel gives it some leeway, but I honestly didn't really have any huge problem believing that the new shows were in the Prime Universe (with a little suspension of disbelief for the more minor inconsistencies) until "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow".
I think the problem was they wanted to please people who wanted more old Trek, and people who wanted something completely new, so now we've ended up with shows that are clearly connected to the Prime Universe, but don't fully fit with it. Of course, some inconsistencies were inevitable, but I feel the continuity could have handled better.
Anyway, I don't want to derail this thread. With regards to the actual question being posed, I think they may well have planned a Kelvin Timeline film, but the failure of Beyond made them rethink any plans they had.

His skeleton showed up in Lower Decks, so at some point he died.
You could buy the DVDs/Blu-rays, if you have something that can play them.
I think the Federation's fundamental issue with the Maquis is that they show the Federation isn't the paradise they like to present themselves as. Actually sitting down and listening to the Maquis would require coming to terms with the fact that, deliberately or not, the Federation sidelined a group of people. And that those people felt so disenfranchised that they took to armed rebellion.
John Rhys-Davies is a fantastic actor, and his appearances on VOY were no exception.
Plus, I loved the concept of "Concerning Flight". History is one of my interests, and putting a Renaissance-era man into a futuristic alien world is brilliant. And I feel it was executed very well. Honestly, I think "Concerning Flight" is in my top ten VOY episodes. "Requiem for Methuselah" doesn't come into the equation for me, simply because I barely remember it.
On the other hand, none of Lore's appearances really stood out to me. He's a fairly interesting character, and he fleshes out Data's backstory, but I don't find "Data's evil twin" to be a particularly inspired concept.
@Scyphi Funnily enough, Kennelly's the only I don't recognise.
But I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. Dougherty was always the voice of reason compared to the Son'a. And, in the end, he gave his life trying to stop what he'd started.
I think his biggest flaws were naïvety and a reluctance to act. He trusted the Son'a too much, and went along with whatever they said until it was too late. He thought he could get them to conform to Federation ideals. Though, in his defence, he had no idea how personal it was for the Son'a. And I imagine there was a huge amount of pressure from the Starfleet and Federation brass.
But, ultimately, I don't think he was a bad person. He made some bad decisions, for sure, but he was misguided more than anything.
They'd probably be very annoyed that they'd have to wait a little while longer to rest. I'm sure Starfleet wouldn't press them back into service immediately, but I can't imagine they'd be content with not helping.
I don't really have any ideological objections to it, I just don't think they need them. Star Trek's track record with remasters definitely makes me confident that they would be done well, with respect for the source material, so that's not a concern. But the films had a much bigger budget than the series, and cinema screens have much higher resolutions than TV screens, so even despite their age the effects still hold up quite well.
As @Scyphi said, TFF is the only one that would really benefit, but ultimately I don't mind the effects too much.
I'n kinda torn.
I think they were definitely right to be angry. I'd be pretty upset if my home was given up to an authoritian government that isn't particular fond of people like me, especially if I had no say in the decision.
Their methods are definitely questionable, but they're not overly extreme. As far as I can remember, they never attacked civilians who didn't pose a potential threat to them. Really, if those in power (in both the Federation and Cardassia) just listened to them, there'd be no need for them to rebel.
Where's "Profit and Lace"?
I want it to go ahead just for that reason. I'm not entirely sold on another comedy, either, but I'm all for a non-Starfleet focused series.
I don't dislike any series/film enough to want them to be removed from P+. Maybe a handful of individual episodes here and there, at a stretch.
But if I had to choose one, probably LD. My first choice would actually have been PRO, but that particular wish has already been granted.
Vulcans and Romulans are by far the most interesting. Especially in how they're so different, both from each other and from other species.
Side-note: Sorry to nitpick, but I'd say a dual-planet species is one species from two planets. I'd use "species from the same planet".
Ah, thanks. I'm fine with them being available somewhere else, as long as they're still on P+.
From a work standpoint, chronological order requires you to find out exactly when the series is set in relation to the others, then go back through the list and insert it in the right place. Whereas with release order, you can just tack it onto the end.
Did she even want quarters of her own? I don't recall her expressing any particular desire for them.
"He also indicated they will be looking at more licensing deals and “windowing” strategies for Paramount-owned content, which could lead to Star Trek streaming originals showing up beyond Paramount+."
If I'm interpreting that correctly, then Paramount+ as the "home of all Star Trek" is truly dead. PRO was one thing, but series that aren't intended for P+ at all is another.
Unless they mean the series that already exist being licensed out, which is slightly better.
If they are going down the route of letting other companies make original Trek series, I hope they get some international companies involved. It'd be nice to see some non-American/Canadian-made Trek. Maybe the BBC? Or maybe even non-English Trek? Who knows?
"The Naked Time" and "The Naked Now".
"One" and "Doctor's Orders".
"The Changeling" and The Motion Picture.
Mark Twain is included on the other poll.
Stephen Hawking certainly gets points for the most accurate portrayal of a real person, by far.
They're not quite as exotic as the Klingons or the Romulans, but they're certainly not boring. I find the exploration of their culture (particularly their religion) quite interesting.
