The IP being split between CBS and Paramount was/is definitely a confusing and weird situation, and lawyers can definitely get weird about what you can and cannot use in a show (as a DC universe and Arrow-verse fan, I'm aware that silly limitations can be in place behind the scenes). You seem to be claiming that ST: Picard can't use story elements and characters that have solely appeared before 2009 . . . . that's EVERYTHING other than the J.J. Abrams films! They wouldn't be able to use the characters of Picard, Data, Maddox, and the rest of the old crew who've been teased to appear later in the series. I might be misunderstanding your point, but . . . .And even if that were true, that's not a reflection on the knowledge and quality of the show's writing . . . .And . . . . you're basing your impression of what folks choose to cosplay as to how well the new series are being received?!?! Um, okay, you've totally lost me on this one. I don't go to Star Trek conventions (although, I'm sure it would be a lot of fun), but we've got 50+ years of Trek to pull cosplay inspiration from, and both ST: Discovery and ST: Picard are the new kids on the block. Regardless of how existing Trek fans are digging (or not digging) the new shows, I would expect the older characters to dominate cosplay for quite some time to come. In my own anecdotal experience, I've seen plenty of ST: Discovery cosplay online, nothing from ST: Picard yet (but we're only 2 episodes in).</blockquote>
