I hear you on this. I'm worried what would happen in a Pike lead series. A
prime example of what you refer to is what they did with Discovery. I think
you brought to light why I don't care for it. An injection of political 
correctness and perceived equality is forced now in every TV show. As 
far as I'm concerned, it will be TOS and TNG that captures true trek and 
Gene's vision. Voyager and DS9 were great too but not the same caliber.  Your
concept of orgins of the Borg is very interesting.  I had thought that maybe
it be time to focus on some of the alien civilizations that were encountered
during the 5 year mission for example or maybe a series involving Q and his
antics.  It seems that hollywood has truly run out of ideas and is trying to 
spark interest in the wrong way. As a fan of scifi and trek, I will give every
new series a try but that's it. I felt that way with Enterprise. The concept I
like but the execution in my opinion did not work. With respect to the movies,
this reboot of the TOS with Chris Pine, I'm not going to lie. I'm conflicted. 
I think I just like it because its scifi and not because its trek. I had to 
seperate it in order to avoid the disappointed factor.
