I would bet that if Stewart didn’t want to/couldn’t continue making the show, they would have just cancelled it. It’s not like there was some overarching multiple season-spanning story.
Kurtzman intentionally killed Legacy?

It wasn’t only that. Even before the majority of us saw an episode, there was the “It is the only way” mentality. I get that there were influencers who had seen the show and that’s fine. But the mindset was so prevelant from some corners that it was ridiculous. And frankly, impossible for Picard season 3 to meet expectations. At least for me. I might have viewed it differently had there been a different reaction to the hype. Instead, going into episode one, despite how I tried to keep an open mind, that the callbacks were just too much and I just couldn’t.
It certainly doesn't help my opinion of Matalas that he went out of his way to court some of the worst elements of this fandom. Elements that would've been best ignored. The Lord Terry seems a decent enough fellow, but he's got a major knock against him in that regard. At least in my opinion.
To a point, I kind of get Terry’s perspective. He was attempting to reach an audience which has largely been ignored by current Star Trek. At the same time, I do agree that reaching out to people like Robert Burnett is not exactly the route I would choose. However, the whole Axanar debacle is one that I would prefer to forget when it comes to both Lord Garth and the “haters.”
The minute Matalas's followers began circulating this is the minute they deserved to be called a cult.
Christ... I've seen it before, but I'm still in awe of that every time it comes up.
Not to change the subject, but has anyone heard anything more about Tawny's pet comedy project or Paramount's Star Trek "Begins" movie other than their initial announcements? I mean, those projects were actually officially announced, while 'Legacy' is just Matalas's wet dream.

No, but there really hasn't been anywhere to bring it up in front of people.
Though I did just see that Kacey Rohl is going to be at NY ComicCon for Section 31. They do mention "More Surprises," so who knows what else will come up.
He's not the only source talking about it.
They don't have the right to initiate any Trek on their own so long as SH's contract is in force.
He acknowledges in the vid I linked that the Stargate project is likely dead. The Pandemic shutdown killed it.
Picard S3 garnered a higher vieewership for that year, and more Emmy noms than any modern Trek, possibly more than any season of Trek ever.
Do you seriously believe that? I mean, what kind of idiots would Paramount have to be to sign a contract which denies them rights to an IP they've owned for decades and has worldwide popularity. I mean, really?
He can't even get that right. He's been talking about the Stargate reboot being imminent as recently as earlier this year. Well after the rest of the entertainment industry recovered from the pandemic shutdown.
WRONG
Picard S3 only received two Emmy nominations. Season 2 received four Emmy nominations while Season 1 received five Emmy nominations and one Win. Source. Do you even do any research besides clickbait YouTube videos?
And for the love of god, learn to multiquote. You've been here three years and hold the rank of Commander. There's no excuse for posting repeatedly like you do.

And not a single one is a reputable source of information.
If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.
How convenient.
Proof?
Incorrect, as pointed out by Wormhole. But even if it were true, would that make it the Best Trek Ever?
And on top of that (regarding oldTrek) TNG beat that PIC3 record every single season. I think two nominations might actually be among the lowest showing for live action Trek since the '80s?
I'm thinking the Tawny show was a political move on Alex Kurtzman's part (Read: An attempt to keep his job after the merger).
It's Kurtzman going to Skydance and telling them, "You want dirt cheap? We can do dirt cheap!"
On the face of it, it's pretty bare bones for Trek (No ships, no VFX. Just a bunch of people in prosthetics wandering around a resort.)
It's a bullet in the chamber in the event stuff REALLY hits the fan.
Paramount has lawyers. They're going to be going over it with a fine-toothed comb (these people argue over commas and semicolons every time SAG/AFTRA negotiations come up).

Reading some of these theories on Kurtzman and his apparently devilish skills of bending a media corporation to his will makes me wonder how he isn't in politics?
Which just shows what a suck up factory Hollywood is. I'd rather watch, "And the Children Shall Lead" on a continuous loop, than be subjected to Picard again.
