Does anyone think Star Trek Legacy will ever happen?

I hope you said that on page one rather than page 800.

How else would he dupe encourage people to read the whole thing?

It's actually on page 795. The last five pages I just kind of ramble on incoherently about modern politics despite that being completely irrelevant to the point I was making.

Only five pages? Amateur.

Rambling on incoherently about modern politics is a TNZ standard.

What can I say? I made it a goal for this manifesto to be eight hundred pages exactly, so that part was just a space filler.

the MAGAists now running paramount are going to make their programming more conservative and safe and guaranteed profit-drivers. The focus is going to be on franchises with mass appeal that will drive subs and not rock the boat with 'wokeness'. So expect more Yellowstone spins offs, medical dramas and cop shows.

So, in other words, conservatives know what people actually like?

What else could explain the massive popularity these days of Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo?

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

They know what people who watch nothing but cop shows and lawyer shows like.

Alcohol and low expectations.

So i think what they'll take away from that, is that people must want TOS . So yes, probably yet another TOS reboot

My personal theory is that the public's feelings about Star Trek (and Star Wars) resemble the adoption curve, with audience "A" preferring TOS (as well as Luke Skywalker over Han Solo and having always enjoyed the prequels), and audience "B," which is more vocal, favoring TNG.

J.J. Abrams, who famously didn't watch the franchise, but identified it with Kirk and Spock, would be a "skeptic" (or "laggard") in this context.

In that context, something like Legacy isn't likely to escape the "B" audience zone. Paramount's attempts to reach a new audience have, I think, been meant to focus on "skeptics," but that has effectively re-started the adoption process from scratch.

I think streaming Star Trek has been sustained (to the extent that is has) by "visionaries" from the "B" audience, with only Picard (which drew some of the "pragmatists") and the very beginning of Discovery (which "enthusiasts" tried and rejected) breaking out beyond that.

A great resource for the comics of the 1980s.

First Star Trek monthly series from DC Comics 1984-1988

Spock and a couple of his officers from the Surak.

I would write a Spock and the Surak (television) movie. In a heartbeat.

I don't think conservatives even know what they like. They say one thing but keep crashing Grindr during the RNC.

Well they don't ask me so I can't tell them to check the Trek box
