Its the same problem that they're kind of stuck in in the Star Wars universe.
Star Trek with prequel era stories. I mean I'm ok with it as they develop pre kirk lore. But its getting stagnant.
Star Wars feels like its stuck in the area between ROTJ and TFA and the Galactic Civil War era.
In both cases with risk they have these huge universes with unlimited time lines that they could explore, in Star Wars that don't involve any Skywalkers or Jedi, with Star Trek anything Federation.
I mean there's life outside of the Federation, Worf talked about border guards flying rickity ships. There's a criminal underworld. Hell you can fast forward a 100 years and do the fall of the Federation if you wanted to. You have a whole mirror universe that Discovery desperately tried to wreck.
