They’re not supposed to be the same, new actor, new times, they’re supposed to do their thing. Again look at all the different Bonds, the only two that are at all alike are Dalton and Brosnan and that’s because Dalton built his entire career on being a poor man’s version of Brosnan.
It’s your opinion, but it’s not faux is real. It’s closer to TOS and more entertaining than anything they’ve done since TNG started.
Dalton and Brosnan alike ? What ? Dalton was an established actor long before Brosnan came along. He was considered for Bond in the late ‘60s when he was just in his 20s. Brosnan was more like Roger Moore. But Connery was still the definitive Bond. However, you haven’t had a string of actors playing Kirk, you had Shatner. His “replacement” is anything but up to the task. A teenage-looking, whiny weenie, a Captain Charlie X. Shatner’s Kirk was a MAN. He would’ve slapped that child right out of the center seat.
...and Faux Trek is still Faux Trek.
