I hope that it's obviously a bad choice to yet-again recast Kirk, Spock, et al, what with Strange New Worlds, Kelvin, and the OS. I'd further say that I'd really rather not see recast "younger" Picard, Riker, Data, etc.
I think this is what is meant above by "New Characters". Heck, I'd personally rather also see a new Ship, rather than it "always" (minus Discovery, I guess) being the Enterprise, but I guess that I'd be happy with another Enterprise, if we got a new crew - or heck, if you're going to recast anyone, do Rachel Garrett and the doomed crew of the Enterprise C.
Or surprise us all and make Star Trek Legacy into a Movie and have Seven of Nine commanding the Enterprise F.
