My idea for paisley uniforms and spring-soled duty boots will catch on with CBS. you'll see.
Could we as fan send a open letter to CBS executive to make Star Trek better
- Thread starter Captain Clark
- Start date
Who is "us fans," exactly? "Better" is a matter of opinion. You will not find a consensus on the opinions that you have expressed here. Plenty of fans feel that the new Trek shows are just fine, and that they do not need to be "made better."
Kor
So true.
But apparently, only one faction seems to delude themselves that they are speaking for "the fans".
No, everyone thinks that they are speaking for “the fans.”
I don’t know whether this is for real or trolling. But who defines “better”? It’s all subjective, and Trek fans are such a varied bunch there is NO consensus on the best series, the best captain, or even what Star Trek actually is. And yet we can be such an entitled and opinionated bunch!
Discovery and Picard aren’t to everyone’s taste, just as no single Trek series is. Yet they’re doing remarkably well. Star Trek has been successfully reinvented and rejunvenated and in many respects is doing better than it has in a very long time. Furthermore, I know a number of people who aren’t Trek fans but who have really gotten into both Discovery and Picard on Netflix/Amazon prime. Also, it seems the writers are learning and course correcting as they go along, as any decent creator does. They do not need fans dictating to them, because as many have said, try getting the fans to agree on anything in the first place.... what a headache!

Here's my letter:
Dear CBS,
please make more Kelvin Star Trek. Discovery did well so please continue to make that too.
Feel free to ignore.
Sincerely,
a Star Trek fan owed nothing by you.

A bit disingenuous. Without fans in the 70's and on, Star Trek would be worthless to CBS.
You can certainly write one, will it be read? Maybe.. Will it be acted upon? Probably not, maybe 2% chance, and thats if numerous others write in for the same thing.
But if it'll make u feel better, go right ahead. Mail your letter. Maybe once a month.. Worked for Andy Dufresne...

I see you are new to the site. Welcome. Inconsistency is a proud Star Trek tradition so sit back and enjoy the ride. BTW there is no 'us fans' there is your personal likes and dislikes and there is everyone else, but feel free to write to whoever you want to on your own behalf.. No one represents me, but me.
Thank you

Make Star Trek Great Again! (as per my instructions see Appendix I- XXX)
It would be amusing if years from now in the PIC documentary, they ask "When did 'Picard' really hit its stride and become a worldwide phenomenon?" and the answer is, "When we got a letter from this Clark guy! It changed everything! Make Star Trek better, he demanded, so we did!"

"We hadn't even thought of that!"
I don't.

So, CBS owes the fan base something from the 70s? O_o
All that is owed us is being entertained. If we are not then we don't buy it. Letter writing is a fine way but they are not indebted to fans for what happened decades ago.
Dear CBS,
I think you're doing a bang-up job with Discovery and Picard. Take into account anyone who sounds reasonable but don't feel obligated to them and DON'T take into account anyone who sounds unreasonable. The unreasonable won't like what you give them anyway. If they think they can get you to cater to their whims, they'll keep pushing back the goalposts to see how far you'll bend over for them. Don't do it.
Sincerely,
