Here I thought the purpose of Picard was a thoughtful introspection about a great leader we all believe in confronting a harsh new era paralleling our own. I don’t think it’s important that DS9 viewers feel seen, I think it’s important that they write a good story finally. This show feels like little more than a backdrop for an actor reunion.

I think the productive way to think of this is that the writers are just trying to use Star Trek as a backdrop set dressing. They have no interest in the history of the universe. I find this a bit disappointing personally, but me and 10 other people care about such things. They do write a few tie-in episodes, but I think in basically all cases you could classify them as homages to specific concepts or key episodes.
