Consider This - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds/Discovery EP and VFX Supervisor on Maintaining Legacy

[@essexlad8151]

Kurtzman hates the fact season 3 of Picard did so well 😂😂

[@ah7910]

He would never give a second chance to Matalas to upstage him again. He may be the showrunner but the studio execs are the ones who renew his lucrative SecretHideOut Star Trek contract. Matalas wanted to give the fans what they wanted (and proved the 90s fanbase is still very much here) but instead Kurtzman is doubling-down on his 32nd Century Discovery-verse vision. Such s shame when talentless people sink a franchise.

As someone who grew up on TOS reruns and is a big fan of TNG I love this era of Star Trek. I just wish I could enjoy this with other fans, but the comments sections are carpet bombed by the haters who must have very sad lives. Sure, it’s okay if you don’t like something. Watch something else. Done.

"successful", "beloved", "hit it's stride" ... LOL! Where's the audience?

[@gbail9566]

Streaming. How would you k know?

[@ah7910]

There is no audience! Just a handful of crazy moderators on Reddit who gag any descent and the Paramount PR campaign. I write this as a gay man from an ethnic minority background - Discovery and SNW do not exist because they were good, they are produced because of contracts and licensing agreements. I can’t wait for the day Kurtzman has nothing to do with my once-beloved franchise.

The numbers back it up. You can waste your life hating on it on the Internet all day long, but you’ll never change that. Maybe it’s time for you to find something else to do? Maybe even something constructive! Just imagine the possibilities if you put your negativity and transformed it into something positive? Just putting it out there.

@@jati okay, about how many people watched Discovery? About how many people on average? You talk about numbers. Let me see. Tell me, and show me your source, and I'll believe people are actually watching this crap.

[@jerobriggs6861]

@@jati also, where's the audience in this panel? Usually popular shows have an audience when they do a panel like this, I mean fans, not just reporters.

I write this as a gay man in his 30s from an ethnic minority background - I absolutely hate Discovery & SNW. KURTZMAN has done NOTHING for me. Any showrunner would of given us diversity and representation… What else has he done with Star Trek? His reluctance to give ‘fan service’ is the very reason legacy fans can’t connect with his new dystopian vision, and we celebrate the few crumbs he accidentally allows us - our expectations have dropped so low (Fans: ‘Oh isn't Anson Mount amazing, he reminds us of what Star Trek used to feel like!’) We have got to a point now with this nasty, dimply-lit, dystopian franchise - that we are just grateful for the little bit of visual continuity or memberberries they throw at us - vague allusions to a franchise we use to cherish. Terry Matalas GETS IT… and that’s why Kurtzman won’t employ him again. After all, it’s the studio execs that renew Kurtzman’s lucrative SecretHideOut contract for producing Star Trek… Why would Kurtzman give Terry another chance to shine and undermine his own concepts? So he’s doubled-down on his 32nd century Starfleet Academy show… not because he believes fans want it - because it keeps his Discovery-verse alive and his own legacy is not undermined. Selfish, talentless, SMUG hack. I used to watch Star Trek to escape the bullies, now I feel my once-beloved franchise is being written by the bullies.

Is this a parody?
