No.
Constantly recycling the same creative folks over and over, combined with oversaturation is what doomed Trek to begin with. They need new people in the driver's seat. I have no real issue with Fuller stepping aside for people new to Trek.

Yeah, they kinda buried that, I don't know why. It's insane to think that Star Trek is the most expensive TV show in production . That's a huge investment by CBS (and, I suspect, Netflix) in the show.
That still puts it somewhere in the top 5 most expensive shows being produced. Amazing for show that's previous biggest success was airing in syndication.
Maybe they meant the season premiere was 9 million, the rest less.
Batman and Robin guy also headed Fringe, didn't he? One of my all-time favorite shows.

Additionally, I thought the seasons of Fringe on which he worked were very good.
Plus, I find it's commonly forgotten than Goldsman-and Joel Schumacher-got tipped for the Batman films on the strength of their work on The Client. My thinking at at the time was, "Well, that was a pretty solid thriller. I imagine they could make a reasonable Batman movie."
He received an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the 2001 film, A Beautiful Mind, which also won the Oscar for Best Picture. Very few trek writers can claim that.
I wonder if this series is ever going to be produced.
I don't buy the "too much on his plate" excuse. I'm betting it was a fallout between him and CBS.
Wake me up if there's any real news to come out of Star Trek Discovery after this. That is if they don't re-write the script again.

I was startled by that, too; that's a budget on par with Game of Thrones. I'd been wondering whether CBS thought of Star Trek as a program that needed a lot of polish to be done correctly, and I have my answer. We're a long way from Planet Hell.
I'm not overly concerned at this point to be frank. At least Fuller had the sense to step back, or CBS had the sense to ask him to step back as showrunner with so much on his plate. That said, someone screwed up. They should have figured out the scheduling conflicts a bit earlier, say when Discovery's production schedule was delayed.
I'm not overly worried about Goldman in the writers' room yet either.

So we're going from one flavor Member Berries to another flavor. *shrug*
Well this wasn't the best news to wake up to. I was looking forward to a Bryan Fuller Star Trek show, and now it's just some other guy with no relevance to the franchise.
It's such a major buzzkill.

So, they are handing the franchise reigns to someone who has worked with Kurtzman before, and may or may not be a Star Trek fan? That was terrible when we had a non-fan in charge of directing. We got TWOK and TUC.
I would recommend not panicking yet. Panic later.
