They will never make another thoughtful, dialog heavy, diplomacy and reason focused Star Trek series. The mass audience won't go to see it if there aren't lots of explosions and personal drama and that's the audience they want.

What exactly makes you think that? Strange New Worlds has very little action, and is loved by fans as far as I can tell. Yes, it has "personal drama", but Star Trek always had that and it's not a bad thing.

I'd say TOS was very very light on "personal drama", which really ramped up from TNG onwards.

That was because Gene Rodenberry wouldn't let them have inter-personal conflict
