This is fascinating to me because I just do not have strong feelings about Trek recasting at all! Except for Paul Wesley cause yeah the poor guy is miscast af.
The complaints about Chapel have been puzzling to me because I like TOS Chapel fine but she's a very 1960s character? From a Doylist perspective, I just don't see how you put a meek lady nurse into a 21st century show without making any changes whatsoever. I'm not sure I'd have wanted to watch that. Similarly if Janice Rand shows up, they might update her from hot secretary a bit and I'd be pretty fine with that.
