Also, if you ask the average non-fan to name a Star Trek character, they'll probably say Kirk or Spock.

By "adult cartoon" do you mean they'll be swearing, doing drugs and making pop culture references?

Star Trek: The Lower Deck, about the guys down stairs.
"Star Trek: Lower Deck is the name of Alex Kurtzman's long-rumored Star Trekanimated series. The show is designed to be a half-hour comedy, written by Rick and Morty alum Mike McMahan, which will focus on a starship's lesser-known characters, mainly the support crew who work in—you guessed it—the lower decks."
Reminds me of a series I touched on a long, long time ago.

I'm more worried about the cartoon taking a post-modern "ironic" take on Star Trek and turning the franchise into a joke than I am about producers casting an attractive woman in a role. The Orville deftly balances humor and drama so that the humor pokes fun at sci-fi tropes without undercutting the drama and obliterating viewer investment in the story and characters. The last thing Star Trek needs after the execrable Abrams films is a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque take on Star Trek where its just a bunch of goofs in space being goofy and nothing matters because no matter how goofy our heroes are, the villains are even goofier!

TFW Enterprise is one of the "good" Treks by comparison to what we have now.

God damn we were not prepared for just how shit pop culture would get back 10 years ago when everyone was clamouring for new star trek/new star wars/new LOTR movies/new ghostbusters/new whatever

This is what my Star Trek Adventures RPG gaming group always devolves into.
But STD looks like it may not be coming back after season 2, as CBS has had to foot the bill, and the "Short Treks" they've put out haven't gotten much attention. Or praise.
And now Kurtzman is in charge of the whole thing. Moonves is out. Not that he had much love for Star Trek, he did want to see STD succeed for the sake of the streaming service. Kurtzman was the head of trying to turn everything into a Cinematic Universe, and his adventures in that haven't gone so well.

Memes aside Enterprise would probably be remembered more foundly if it had a full run, the latter seasons were starting to get somewhere.

My biggest problems with Enterprise was that they way overdid the "are we sure we're ready for this?" aspect of the first few seasons at least, to the point that the entire crew (particularly Tucker, but all of them to some extent) came off as bumbling oafs. It really didn't help that at the end of the first episode (which I actually recently rewatched and liked) they basically said, "The ship's still missing several key systems because we left dry dock early to show the Vulcans how big our dicks are, we should probably go back home and get that sorted out, but nah fuck it." (And as I recall, that bites them in the ass all throughout the season.)
I also strongly disliked Archer (despite more or less liking Bakula otherwise.)
It's basically become a meme that Janeway is this evil dictator. (Thanks SFDebris.) But at least she came off as *sane* more often than not.
If you told me the only reason Archer made someone as obviously incompetent as Trip his chief engineer was because they wouldn't let him put his dog in the position, I would totally believe you.

Yeah, it annoyed me how Archer treated the whole thing like a camping trip. Hell, they literally went camping in one episode.

I like it. It does its best to capture the feel of an episode of Trek. PCs play one of the big 6 roles (7 if you have a PC captain). It also tries to address the "don't split the party" dynamic of other games by allowing players to create a roster of supporting characters and redshirts to play in case your main character has no reason to go on an away mission and the like. The Extended Task system gives me a bit of fits, but otherwise, it's kind of a more streamlined World of Darkness-like system. I think I'll start a Modiphius games thread in the Games forum.
Back on topic:

Yeah that bothered me too Earth supposedly had the MACO units as elite military specialists but they send some bumbling fuckwit to command the first official human ship when private humans had been piloting freighters for decades.
