That's according to your own limited perspective. RMB, Popcast, Cullen, Critical Drinker and the others were given the episodes way in advance and were actually informed about all of this.
And they are still in contact with Terry,Chris and all the others, with interviews coming up.
Kurtzman stepped off to do "Man Who Fell to Earth" and had no creative input on Pic S3, according to them. Terry Matalas was given the budget (a limited one) and full creative control of the season.
Hyperbole, thy name is Fireproof78.
If you're actually so concerned with the divisiveness here, you wouldn't make such silly exaggerated statements as above.
Even under the guise of jest.
Well continue to bury your head in the sand all you want then.
Until you prove you have a better track record than these guys, who are actually in contact with the production and have proven it, you've got nothing.
No creative input? Plausible for the overall head honcho.
No “awareness of what Terry was doing”? Nah. That’s a fireable offence (a real one, not the goofy “Kurtzman’s been fired” drivel circulating on YouTube channels for years). Full creative control is NEVER unlimited unless you own the whole thing and shop around a finished product. Clearly not the case here.
Reading this thread will be a new cure for Insomnia.
I've got common sense and the ability to not believe everything I hear on the internet.
Here's a grain of reality for you. People on those YouTube channels will twist whatever narrative they have to in order to support their viewpoint and garner views for their videos. Don't trust anyone who relies on views for their livelihoods.
My family has strict instructions to play nothing but this song at my funeral.
Hyperbole is my second language. Sarcasm is my first.
More seriously, the idea that Terry is responsible for all the success and Kurtzman didn't have a part of it is hard to believe.
No one deserves unlimited creative control.
David Lynch for TWIN PEAKS season 3 is proof.
That was a Tim Brazeal campaign though..
These people have been claming star trek is doomed, will be cancelled, Kurtzman is fired since Discovery started.
Their track record has big holes in it for things outside of Picard plot.

I only got into TWIN PEAKS this year. THE RETURN is... something. When I was invested enough to look into the behind the scenes stuff and expanded lore, it wasn't surprising to find the TP fanbase is likely divided into Lynchian and TP/Mark Frost-ish camps.
Meanwhile this thread is becoming a microcosm of the general division in genre fandom that's existed since 2017.
Fixed that because my experience has never been in a nondivided fan base. I liked Kirk, another friend liked Picard; I like Attack of the Clones, another friend preferred Revenge of the Sith. Nick Meyer screwed up TWOK and disrespected Gene Roddenberry or was that Lucas who raped childhoods over the prequels. Enterprise was the worst prequel ever until Abrams raped TOS.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of division and yelling in my years of being part of fan discussions, in person and online. Let's not pretend this is new. It's not.
I think Terry Matalas will have another shot at doing something else in Trek, petition or not.
I think he's talking about the divisions as they currently are.
