Star Trek made by a fascist like being patronized at best.
Is he really a fascist, or "only" an opportunist flying whatever color is in power at a given time?
Time was never on my side.
I don't have the drive for media as others do. I think I'll have to make peace with it. Watching, rewatching, comparison, and such all feel like oddities to me. I enjoy shows and move on. My favorite film I have not watched in 5 years. Favorite shows are intermittent.
I don't know. I'm at the age were shit stops making sense with what people do.
It could mean that Ellison thinks politics is politics and entertainment is entertainment. Opportunists will rather do what makes them money, rather than trying to preach to people.
I hear you. I have some favorite films I have not watched in a long time. Things hit differently as we get older. I try to watch some of my favorite movie/tv franchises every 5-10 years all the way through if I can. Farscape, Star Trek, Lost in space, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Buffy, Angel, Mission Impossible (films) Harry Potter,Lotr...
Damn that list is big....
...and not even the whole list.... 
I'm not worried. The way things are probably going to go in the 2026 and 2028 Elections (thanks to the way Trump is spectacularly screwing things up), I deeply suspect David Ellison is going to go wherever the wind blows. And that wind is blowing towards a Blue Wave. At most, David Ellison will want to make things that appeal to The Center, if he wants to make as much money off audiences as possible. In which case, his actual politics won't matter.
I'd look more closely at whatever the writers and producers do, who'll actually be involved in the day-to-day, the actual creators, not their Corporate Overlords. For all we know, they might try to sneak in their messages and hope it all goes unnoticed by whoever's watching over them.
If what they make turns out to be fascist crap, then I'll be one of the first people to say so.

Then so was Roddenberry and every other person associated with the franchise. None of them are doing it for free.
I'd like to remind everyone that David Ellison has made political donations exclusively to Democrats including very large donations to both the Biden and Harris campaigns, and none to Trump.

So, he saw which way the wind was blowing and switched sides? I'm sure it must have seemed like a good idea at the time.
Major Kira would call him "a collaborator".

Most likely none for a few years. One really great thing is no year one. I'm so happy that will never see the light of day.
Including films, the last episode that airs will be the 1001st Star Trek adventure. (There’s more if you count Very Short Treks and Scouts. I choose not to.)
I’m actually not giving up hope on Year One or anything further from Kurtzman. He has said the conversations have been going well. There’s no reason to suggest this is at an end until there’s actual word about it. Maybe that’s naive and too optimistic but that’s where I’m at right now.

Can't have a fascist with benefits and still claim a moral high ground.
With the whole deal/merger business in the works, I can imagine they won't commit to anything long term right now, before that's settled ... so well possible this really is just a pause for the time being, rather than hiatus.
i reckon we're about to see another hiatus of Trek for a few years. After SNW and SFA finish airing.
Maybe thats good. Refresh, retool, come back bigger than ever, when people are starting to miss trek

Star Trek is going dormant.
And the peasants rejoiced.
