I have good word from :quark:, it just wasn't making the bean counters happy enough anymore.
Is... is this the light at the end? Picard and Discovery ending? :sicko-wholesome:
I tried using paramount plus yesterday to watch an episode of voyager (scientific method) and it was packed with ads. Wtf! Paramount stock has been in almost continuous decline for years, so if people are actually watching nutrek, there just aren’t enough of them.
We love Trek and all but it will always be a very niche franchise. The premise that Trek could be a flagship show big enough to sustain a streaming service was always pure copium at best.
Paramount is currently making an insane amount of money between Top Gun: Maverick, Yellowstone and it's various spin-offs, the new Scream movies, and the Sonic movies, not to mention they have new Transformer and Mission Impossible movies coming out this year
ngl I just kind of assumed it was already cancelled, the last time I heard anyone talk about this show was season 2 and the mind numbingly dumb red angel shit. I bet the real numbers for people who kept watching after that are extremely funny.
Kurtzman has also teased the development of another potential spinoff, Star Trek: Academy, which would focus on a new generation of young cadets.
No goddamn it. I thought his contract was up?
At least his Section 31 show never got made (hope I'm not Latheing this...)
Kurtzman has also teased the development of another potential spinoff, Star Trek: Academy, which would focus on a new generation of young cadets.I wonder if it'd focus on idealistic aspiring explorers seeking new life and new civilizations or if it'd be more :awooga: :libertarian-alert: :hypersus:
But Lower Decks is actually good because Kurtzman had nothing to do with it except his name in the credits in a hands-off position.
I remember being recommended this show here I think after season 2? Was that just cope or did something happen?
i'm screaming and crying rn just like every good starfleet officer does
I don't even dislike the character of Michael, I just hate how much the show focuses on her instead of any of the other characters. Classic Trek was always an ensemble show with all of the senior staff getting their own character development and adventures.
At this point I feel like I know more about Keiko Obrien than I know about Discovery's doctor.
To be fair she was raised by Vulcans, who know nothing about stoicism and suppressing outward displays of emotion
Screaming and crying on the way to save the galaxy, the universe, maybe the multiverse!
Picard isn't good Star Trek, but Discovery is just bad on another level.
They are both terrible but Picard is even worse because it's cheaper, lazier, and even edgier.
Honestly more than it should have gotten. Tbh nothing should run longer than five seasons anyway.
Executive producers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise wrote: “As lifelong fans of Star Trek, it has been an immense honor and privilege to help bring Star Trek: Discovery to the world. The Trek universe means so much to so many — including us — and we couldn’t be prouder of everything Discovery has contributed to its legacy, particularly with representation. If just one person sees themselves, or the possibilities for their future, in a new way because of Discovery, then we think we’d have made Gene Roddenberry very proud. Of course, there would be no Discovery without Sonequa Martin-Green and the extraordinary team of artists, both in front of and behind the camera, who have brought this show to life. Their passion and determination to make every episode special has been deeply inspiring; so too has their love and support for one another and their genuine love for Star Trek. Discovery has truly become a family over the years — and we couldn’t be more grateful to be part of it. To the fans around the world, thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Your love for these characters and your excitement for every episode, every season, has meant the world to us. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on for this final season; we appreciate your patience in the meantime and trust us when we say it’ll be worth the wait. We love you all! LLAP”
