Kurtzman Out?

So, I'm confused. Is he in or is he out? Asking for a friend. :shifty:

Doc: Go in and order a Pepsi and wait for a guy named Griff.

Marty: Griff?

Doc: Right. Griff's going to ask you about tonight. "Are you in or out?" Tell him you are out! Whatever he says, whatever happens, say "no!", you're not interested. Then leave, come back here, and wait for me.

... and we all know how that went...
 
Not that I would check any of the haters YouTube channels, but I bet they all think with Chabon now officially in charge of STP that Kurtzman is fired from Star Trek in general. Are they spinning it that way? I wouldn’t be surprised if they are.

the pessimist and realist in me suspects the real reason they don't like Kurtzman isn't going to make them like Chabon any better.

The spin is kurtzman out. Chabon in. Even though kurtzman was never showrunner of Picard
 
Not only he is not fired but Kurtzman is not going to get fired. He is going to stay until this era of Star Trek (Kurtzman Trek) is over.

Basically he is the new Rick Berman. Berman never got fired and Berman Trek lasted 18 years.

I don’t want to do the math, but how much of Berman era Trek was “good”?
Not that Kurtzman is going anywhere anytime soon, but I also don’t think he’s going to get as a long a leash as Berman did.

Hmmm... My opinion only...

TNG-1... Mixed
TNG-2... Okay
TNG-3... Good
TNG-4... Good
TNG-5... Mixed
TNG-6... Great
TNG-7... Mixed

DS9-1... Okay
DS9-2... Good
DS9-3... Good
DS9-4... Great
DS9-5... Great
DS9-6... Great
DS9-7... Great

VOY-1... Okay
VOY-2... Mixed
VOY-3... Mixed
VOY-4... Good
VOY-5... Mixed
VOY-6... Mixed
VOY-7... Okay

ENT-1... Eh
ENT-2... Zzzzz
ENT-3... "Good" (not my cup of tea, but even I can see it's better than S1 and S2)
ENT-4... Okay

Good to Great Seasons: 11
Okay: 5
Mixed: 7
Forget It: 2

So, basically, when it comes down to the combination of what I think is good and I like, it's:

TNG-3
TNG-4
TNG-6

DS9-2
DS9-3
DS9-4
DS9-5
DS9-6
DS9-7

VOY-4

Problem being that ratings went down every single season. We even lost a portion of DS9 during the tail end of its run because the cost was more than the local station could reel in from commercial time.
