No, I am saying that if you put one side by side it's obvious which one is taking place on a Starfleet vessel in the TV show "Star Trek" and which one isn't.
Alex Kurtzman on streaming movies and the future of Trek
- Thread starter Danja
- Start date
55 year old Kurtzman has no idea what kids want, which is why he produced Section 31 and cancelled Prodigy.
The argument only works if those were the only two things Kurtzman produced.
But it's not.
He took an approach of variety, creating multiple shows that could appeal to many different aspects of the audience. Some will work and some don't.
But it's not Section 31 or nothing.

Did he cancel Prodigy?
Very likely he was involved in the cancellation of LD and Prodigy to find room for his latest failures.
Yes.Did you actually think I was being literal when I used the word “frame?”
“Very likely,” meaning you have no proof, just like all the other claims you’ve been making lately.
Boring.
Hyperbole.
Can you remind me what entity is typically responsible for cancelling TV series production?
Hint: it’s never the people working on them. It’s the network/studio.
Don’t let your misplaced hatred of a producer you’ve never met cloud the reality of how the film industry actually works.
I’m done with you.
He answers to Paramount/CBS. Canceling a show means he and his production company are “out of a job.” They would also be the people to shop Prodigy to Netflix.
Prodigy was probably axed because it didn’t do well enough on Nickelodeon. Hopefully it was a reasonable success on Netflix, but it doesn’t look like there will be any more. It was a good show, but it did lean heavily into the old Voyager characters especially in Season 2, so maybe it’s the kind of thing that appealed to existing fans more than new ones.
It’s obvious that they’re putting all their eggs in Starfleet Academy, so if that doesn’t work out I’m not sure what the next move will be. Maybe they’ll decide that Star Trek just has a dwindling audience and cut the budgets accordingly.

Sounds like he's doing a terrible job to me. Maybe when you do a bad job, you should lose your job and find someone who can do it better (and hasn't already been headhunted by Disney/Amazon).
Because one show underperformed?
Oh, the cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously shit on Kurtzman, who was responsible for bringing Matalas onboard for seasons 2 and 3 of Picard, whom you think “could do it better.”
I’m waiting for you to conveniently delete this response like some of the others you’ve done this morning.
No. Because every show he is actively, hands on involved with is significantly worse than when he isn't.
There's a reason Netflix took a paltry sum of money from Paramount to take back Discovery after Netflix put money in.
Star Trek Picard Season 3 was widely praised by fans and critics alike as a return to form which has lead to him being given control of some very high profile projects. Very sad that so many on here were angry about its success.
