I've seen a significant number of fans who would actually be happier with a Pine/Enterprise series than continuing with DISCO. Mount in particular has pretty much received universal praise, so I think "hate" is an exaggeration, though there are the hardliners that will simply not accept anything from the show just on the basis that the sets don't match the 60s show.
But you know what makes Kurtzman an evil genius? He announces the Picard series, which gets the fans excited because this is the first time we have Trek set after NEMESIS in nearly 20 years. But then DISCO is now going to be set a thousand years into the future, which automatically makes the Picard series a prequel.
It's simply cruel.
If it was planned, yes he's an evil genius.
But it wasn't. Behind closed doors he knows that he made a tit of STD and they have rebooted the show in all but name.
I agree with clearspira. The Picard series is the first time they've approached Trek from the mindset of the 24th century as we left it in 2001. Yeah, STD "claimed" it was, but that's for marketing purposes. And the reboot was all they had had to work with since 2009, so naturally that was how they first started out on it. Even TNG didn't reboot itself so much as "evolve." STD was a reboot from the Kelvin timeline to the Prime Timeline.

Yeah, Terry is 150% welcome back to Star Trek. B&B really did a number on her, I'd be fine with something something wormhole aliens negative space wedgie bringing back Jadzia. If anyone in established canon has the ability to halt time and un-join a Trill it's gotta be The Prophets. Or Q. Q would be fun.
