The Difference between TNG and Star Trek Discovery / Short Trek

A third season was announced January 2020 with filming schedule for May and June. They announced a plan to do a music video for one and another to be filmed entirely in black and white. That was postponed indefinitely when everything began shutting down due to the pandemic in March, and by January 2021 Kurtzman announced they were abandoning the Short Treks.
Why did other productions continue, and this one did not? I understand Covid was a factor, but it still strikes me as they just prioritized other shows.

COVID protocols were extremely expensive, which was a contributing factor in why many shows produced in 2020 and 2021 had shorter seasons. Short Treks didn't have a high budget to begin with, COVID protocols would have bankrupted the show.
 
Well I posted this video a while ago because for me it tells the truth.
Anyway, I watched DISCO and found out I don't like it, it's not mine.
But that's just my opinion and I don't hate DISCO, it's still Star Trek.
So for everybody who likes it, enjoy it.

The studio can afford the more expensive shows, but not the cheaper show? What?

The more expensive shows have the money to spare for COVID protocols, to a certain point, given many of them ended up with shorter seasons. The cheaper show doesn't have the money to afford them.

That's another thing, shows had to get by on their own budgets to follow COVID protocols. They didn't get extra money from the studios because of that.

Why? That's so stupid. Everything about the Covid lockdowns was so stupid, and it doesn't help that a lot of it has since been revealed to be made up.
 
Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?
Facui lied about the six-foot distancing, what else did he lie about?
NationalReview.com Fauci it sort of just appeared that six feet is going to be the distance
Mind you, I almost died of Covid. The social distancing was total bullshit. When I was around people all the time working retail, I didn't get sick. When I changed jobs to one where I was rarely around anyone, that's when I got Covid and almost died. Make of that as you will.

Patiently waiting for Adm JLP to demand notarized call sheets and budget statements before he accepts this answer.

EDIT: I see he brought out anti-vax bullshit. We’re done here.
 
As ever, Major Grin left out context in order to make his anti-modern Trek point. When someone first posted that video back when Trouble With Edward originally aired, I was still young and naïve enough to watch Major Grin videos, though I could still recognize what utter horseshit they were. Anyway, here's my rebuttal to the claim the video makes that Captain Lucero was unprofessional:

its not even anti-modern trek. there have been other videos designed to show the differences between the original 23rd and nu23rd century. its contrasting things and its comedic and it supports the timeline rewrite theory. this guy knows more lore and small details than most people on the board. i've never understood the indiscriminate hate for someone that is obviously a HUGE fan.

Some of his vids are hilarious, some are cheat shots, and some are annoying. Honestly, it just depends on the vids. I don't write off a YouTube channel, because some vids are dumb. If I did that, I could never go back to YouTube. :lol:
 
No hatred for the person.

Zero interest in his content, the way its presented, or the random editing done. It doesn't sell his point at all.

true. i have had to watch some of them a few times to understand the contrasts he was making. i just think that he does make some fair points and has a lot of deep cut trivia.

If people want to cite his points then they can list them here.

I'm not here for trivia. I have been to trivia contests, and known more trivia than a writer from Voyager. It's no longer impressive to me.

ok, the points and contrasts that he makes with the trivia lol.

its part of what gave me enough components to truly buy my ever-obnoxious timeline theories lol.

Trivia doesn't sell much for me anymore. If there is a point, it's lost in the presentation.
