Sadness is definitely why I’m feeling too.

Roddenberry had a vision of an international show in TOS, and his creation of an ethnically French captain for TNG.

Unfortunately, the franchise owners have never appreciated that and their focus on marketing first to the US market has kept the show and the movies from the global success they should have had.

With the Ellisons in charge, the franchise is likely to be all the more focused on the US without even the double-edged (often alienating) transparent American exceptionalism that has dogged the franchise.
