Future of Paramount+ among merger talks

I don't mind him writing and/or producing.

Showrunner? No.

He's SO infatuated with 80's/90's Trek that he risks resurrecting all that was negative about it (the erasure of the LGBTQ+ community, reducing women to being helpmates for the guys, etc.).

Don't you like 80s and 90s trek?

I wouldn't expect SNW's fifth season until 2027.

Having witnessed how the right-wing government has taken over local media in Türkiye, I hope the same thing doesn't happen to the American media. Because what Erdoğan did 20 years ago, Trump is doing in America right now.

Yeah, no.

Early 2026 for Starfleet Academy's first season, mid-late 2026 for Strange New Worlds' fourth, early-mid 2027 for Starfleet Academy's second, and mid-late 2027 for Strange New Worlds' fifth. Those are my guesses based on production info, but we'll see. We do know that season one of SFA is officially aiming for early '26, though.

I'm going to guess that they're going to somehow play SNW's 4th season in with the 60th anniversary coming up. Season 3 is going to end on 9/11 this year. If its ready, I imagine they'll keep a similar timeline for Season 4. Sadly September 8, 2026 is a Tuesday, not a Thursday.

 

[oktay]

Yeah, no.

What I meant was, if you look at what Erdoğan has done in the past, you'll see that Trump governs the US with the same ideology. Some of the things Americans are currently experiencing have been happening in Türkiye for 25 years.

And neither Türkiye nor the United States have imploded into the flaming hellscape like so many pearl-clutching doomers have predicted would happen (in other words: something they so desperately wanted to happen and never did).

>> Yawn <<

Didn't I recall one of the mods recently say something about not turning this thread into a grab-asstical political dumpster fire? Asking for a friend...

Moving on...

They're struggling financially and yet they shell out $1.5 billion to Trey Parker and Matt Stone for exclusive rights to have South Park run on Paramount+.

New South Park probably drives subscriptions.
