More evidence that the current showrunners have no idea what to do with the franchise.
Next: a Trek-themed cooking show.
Tell me you wouldn't watch at least 30 minutes of Riker failing to scramble eggs.
I mean I would. But I think Riker is the kind of guy that makes breakfast the morning after, sans replicator - for that personal touch. So I think he'd have no trouble scrambling some eggs.
But...we've seen it. It happened in an episode. Dude can't cook eggs.
I think you need to rewatch to refresh your memory. They comment on how he's an accomplished cook that's why they're keen to try the eggs he's making. However, on that occasion they are alien eggs from an 'Owon, that he's never cooked before, and those are notoriously not to everyone's taste. While none of the human staff could handle them, Worf loved them.

I guess that's the orthodox interpretation, that it's the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he's doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they're still liquid. And they don't call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying "Ooh, a practiced hand!" in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.
Yeah being a good cook is serious turn on for a lot of people. And those people are often better lovers too.
While I personally have no interest in watching a youtube show for three year olds, as a new uncle, I hope the show will be a good entry point into the franchise for my niblings once they’re old enough to get something out of it.
As for a cooking show, don’t threaten me with a good time. Let’s see Latinum Chef Romulus’ reaction when the challenge ingredient is leola root.
You guys are all imaging good shows that stick with the established characters and don't retcon the universe, your imaginations are far better than what would actually be created.
The most exotic and amusing chef on the show - Neelix, would be absent. Data is back and well (no explanation offered) and cooks up a plate of synthetic oil, writers not knowing he can taste and wants to study and be part of human culture and make things his friends can also enjoy. Tilly has a meltdown because she's done the recipe wrong and everything's burnt - everyone who tries to help her also cries, but then they come together, "actually it's even better burnt".
“It’s a rawwwwwwwwwww”
Starring Captain Pike? I'd watch.
