I'm fine with Romulus having been destroyed. It adds a level of suspense and tension to the Prime Timeline we haven't felt since the darkest days of the Dominion War and truly turns the political balance in the Alpha Quadrant on its head for the first time since at least that war. Frankly, if Trek took more risks like blowing up one of its most famous homeworlds then maybe we'd have fewer issues with the franchise.
You should never take something said by one fan as indication of what “fans” think. If there’s one thing that you learn hanging around these parts, it’s that “fans” rarely agree on anything.
Kurtzman expects the show to air by the end of this year or early next year if production goes as planned.

Picard show being referred to as a limited series again. Didn't Kurtzman say it was ongoing awhile ago?
So, one reporter uses the word "limited" and that contradicts everything so far established by Kurtzman?
I think you misinterpret my statement. I wasn't making a broad generalization of ALL fans, but THOSE fans.
The reporter said limited but that wasn't a direct quote. I'm going to go out on a limb and say 2 8-10 episode seasons.
I'm starting to wonder whether it might be better to hold off on the Picard series, and hire some film scriptwriters to rework it into the 14th Star Trek movie.
The Kelvin films are now dead. Doing a Trek film set in the 25th century, with some references to the Romulus incident of the Kelvin films, seems like a very organic transition for general audiences to a new ST franchise. Could feature Picard and other familiar TNG-Voy characters, but the main cast would be a brand new crew played by film actors.
You could even have Spiner's Data appear using CGI on a film budget, to look like his younger self.

He looks like a giraffe
That isn't going to happen.
I know it won't in practicality unfortunately. CBS is relying on this to boost up their numbers for All-Access, in a way that Discovery could not.
For the ST franchise though, a movie franchise launched by this concept might be a strong way to kick off a new film franchise post-Kelvin.

I think if it does well they'll do as many seasons as Stewart is interested in. If he says he's done enough with the character at the end of Season 1, i don't think anything will pull him back. But if there's a good place to continue taking the character, he'll keep coming back. As 10-13-episode seasons produced over 8-9 months, with a year between seasons, his health and schedule aren't quite the same issues that they might be on a 26-episode network show that needs to hit the airwaves every September.
Patrick Stewart says they're writing it as a single story, and are hoping for more than one season.

10 episodes and he wants to do more. That is a good sign.
This is good news. Kurtzman said he was hoping for the show to last several seasons as well. That all depends on people subscribing and watching and Stewart's health of course. I think we'll get a few but I can understand wanting to be cautious and not assuming things.
A good sign, but let's see how he feels after filming them before we get too excited! I for one am pleased with even one season!
Stewart seems to be in perfect health for his age. William Shatner is a decade older and still does the convention circle year round.
It seems there's a significant drop off of subscriptions for CBS ALL ACCESS when Disco's first season ended. I'd think in order for Trekfans to remain on the streaming service; CBS will have to have a new Trek series to premiere a week after Disco's season finale.
