*Looks at the clowns currently running Paramount*We should be running a studio since we're all experts.
I really don't think that sarcasm is going to hit the way you were hoping.
I don't believe any of us here could run an entertainment business and make any money to keep it running.
Yup, we're all armchair quarterbacks here, and I certainly have no illusions about that.
I've watched too many businesses ventures fail, hell, I've watched fan films fail, because of lack of practical knowledge. I have no illusions of ability to run Star Trek as a business.
But it’s nice to know that the people who think they know more than they actually do about production will still keep us entertained.
I don't even tune in to Paramount Plus for entertainment anymore.
"Ultimately, neither show really broke out, and the majority of the audience would seem to be, to be honest, existing Star Trek fans"
Very telling, but we'll be able to judge in about 3 days.
Getting the vibe online, it seems there'll be more hate watchers than love watchers, I hope I am very wrong though.
Most shows are made with the world audience in mind nowadays, not just North America.Maybe I’ve missed someone mentioning this elsewhere, but this review, by the way, reveals what we’ve been wondering about earlier: Jay-Den is described as “queer” (which of course might not mean he’s gay; could also be bi, pan, ace or non-binary, I guess). You just know that certain parts of the fandom will explode with bigotry upon learning this, but I think it’s cool that the show is doing it. I don’t envy the people who’ll have to manage online spaces where these kind of bigots will spew their hatred.
Wait!
And unfortunately a majority of the world population are still somewhat closed off to progressive views.
I hope it won't be a deterrent to newer viewers, hate watch at least gets a discourse, but apathy absolutely ruins any chance of success.
Fans have a right to complain about things they don't like and it doesn't make their views any less valid than others.
Being non-fans of a product they started working on is one thing, but these modern producers go out of their way to discuss their sheer disdain for the product.
Go look up Halo's producers words, or the creatives behind The Witcher. They actively hate the stories, the mythologies, the product itself and most of all, all th fans of the product.
Feels like they have a personal agenda to try to destroy everything. Just my take.
Hm, I don’t know about those shows you’re naming, but isn’t it actually the case that stuff like this has always existed? Stanley Kubrick, for example, famously hated Stephen King’s “The Shining” novel, yet it’s a cult classic seen as one of the greatest movies of all time. Same goes for David Lynch and “Dune” or Paul Verhoeven and Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”, both of which weren’t financial or even critical successes, but certainly garnered a cult following.
Looking at pictures of the bridge. It's looks extremely wonky. Still Too much led strips (yeah I know it's standard now but damn they need to tone it down. 
) But in the center ring on the ceiling it's all out of whack......also someone on reddit mentioned it looks like the inside of a pinball machine. He's not wrong....

I don’t dislike the bridge design, but is it me or does it look like they have been very inspired by a Space Age / Jet Age design language? It feels very chrome-y, with lots of organically sweeping lines, grills and candy-color red. I mean, I love the mid-century design influences that shape the sets of Strange New Worlds, but here it strangely feels out of place to make it all look like some retro-futuristic Cadillac.
The cost wasn't where they needed it to be given the cost?
