They're losing money.
Based on what? Sources please.The subscriber growth hasn't been able to cover the cost to produce the content.
The hope is that it will payoff long term by funding a bunch of content upfront, but the losses are increasing, which is why the companies' stock just dropped 30% in one day.
The companies' valuation has dropped from 25B two years ago, to 11B today. Ouch.
I painfully wait for Tulsa KIng S2.So you're taking the entire company problems and dumping them on the Trek shows? You do realize that Trek isn't the only shows on that network right?
There's a picture posted on the board somewhere, a still frame from a blink-and-you-miss it promo, I believe.They didn't show any of the Lower Decks crossover. Probably trying to keep what they look like a secret, even though we have a general idea from Destination Chicago.
Why then use klingons? Yhey could create new species, and make them anything they like! Isn't familiarity the point of using same species?That is the continued stagnation of fresh artistic license in favor of continued promotion of stale familiarity, all in the name of appeasing a dwindling fan base
The 2260s-era Constitution I class single-handedly changed the course of history in the mirror universe. It ain't a downgrade.
Here's my bigger question-why should we care? No, seriously, why should I as an average fan care about Paramount's financial troubles? Thus far, when I ask the question it comes back to either a popularity contest (subjective and debatable) or proof of failure (argumentative and a nonstarter).So you're taking the entire company problems and dumping them on the Trek shows? You do realize that Trek isn't the only shows on that network right?
Indeed. And if that's my biggest problem in the world then I'm sitting pretty here.I have a hard time finding a reason to care other than "oh, teh noes, what if no new Trek is made."
But muh SNW/LD/PROD/maybe Legacy!!I did without new Trek for almost 12-1/2 years except for three films spaced out over seven years of that period. I lived. I thrived in the fan community. I found ways to be happy and be a contributor to discussions.
We'll live if Paramount has financial troubles.
If Seven can resurrect Neelix with her nanoprobes then she can probe Shaw back to life. Magic hands make for magic times, especially when you have prehensile tubes.If I don't get the zombified corpse of Shaw commanding Seven on a mission to save the galaxy from the great-grandspawn of the robotic AI tentacles from PIC Season 1 then I will boycott the whole galaxy.*

My new band name.robotic AI tentacles
Unless I have a financial interest in Paramount's workings (spoiler alert: I don't) then the company's finances are quite literally none of my business.

Agreed. Sometimes, death has to be permanent, if it's going to actually mean anything. Not that Shaw's death really meant anything. I found it rather contrived.It's still a terrible idea that makes it harder and harder and harder to engage with Star Trek on any kind of artistic level.
1. The Guardian of Forever doesn't bring people back to life. I think. Could be some obscure lit.Sure, she could. She could ask the Guardian of Forever to undo his necrosis and revive him. She could give him some of Khan's magic blood. She could do any one of a million plot devices the writers could pull out of their asses to resurrect Shaw.
It's still a terrible idea that makes it harder and harder and harder to engage with Star Trek on any kind of artistic level.
