I get where you ate going with this, but wouldn't that require that when looking back, no time travel took place in the intervening 900 years? And we know that isn't the case because there was a whole temporal war in the interim.
Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?

Also because it's whatever Paramount says it is.
In the end, Picard just wasn't any good. Hopefully there will be no follow-ons.

Threatened? About a fictional tv series? Wow. No. That’s funny though.
It's pretty interesting coming from him, since he's the one who planted Legacy in people's heads.
You’re all too certain. Considering we are in an era where writers retconned the years the Eugenics Wars occur by time sliding.
Who’s to say Kovich is right? When writers went out of their way to suggest Spock is wrong?
Occam's razor.
37 years ago....
You don't even believe what you're saying.
And even if you did, it's the wrong forum.

It was refreshing to hear from Chestnut in the article.
Up until now, it's primarily been the old fogies who've been weighing in.

It not only set up a spin-off, it had a post-credits teaser with Jack and Q!

If Terry ever falls on hard times as a writer, he could have a bright future ahead of him as a politician. It sounds like he has all the makings.Can he get any more mealy-mouthed?

He jumped from being a story editor on NIKITA (which 12M fans should really check out by the way... by the end of that show's first season it effectively stops being a "CW show") to the co-creator / co-executive producer on 12M. He definitely knows how to advance in the very political entertainment industry.
And merchandising.
As long as he runs as a Democrat, he's got my vote.
Fine by me. I'm fully cheering on a Zaslav WBD takeover of Star Trek.
Even if Legacy
For him to go from having the deal he had with Paramount, he was their most lucrative star, to WBD as his new default is adding more fuel to the fire.
At the very least, we are going to see some overtures made towards this merger/acquisition quite soon. According to the trades, they'll be in a position to do this in a matter of months.
You want to see it run into the ground?
Yes. Sometimes, watching it burn is all that's left for fandom if not getting the desired product.

Warner is in cost-cutting mode (they've just cancelled Conan O'Brien and Samantha Bee).
Why would they buy Paramount (and assume the company's $15 billion debt on top of Warner's own $40 billion debt)?
Paramount may not be in any mood to wait (especially if there are companies with deeper pockets than Warner's showing interest).
NBC has gone through several mergers over the years (I remember when General Electric bought them back in the 80's. David Letterman raked them over the coals about it -- when they weren't making refrigerators, toaster ovens, and dishwashers, they were building nuclear weapons!

From 1995 until the first CBS Viacom/Paramount merger, CBS was owned by Westinghouse, which included nuclear reactors in its portfolio. Gotta love the US media tied to the military industrial complex...NBC has gone through several mergers over the years (I remember when General Electric bought them back in the 80's.

Kept them in business and produced power.
