Yeah, though at least it had a lot of good Star Trek.
Define “wrong direction.”
“Not the direction I want.”
I like large portions of the current era, and while there's stuff that I like about every one of the shows, there are definitely a few shows I have trouble loving wholeheartedly.
I feel like most would at least agree it's been a mixed bag, even if there might be quibbling about how much of it was good or bad and what the good parts and bad parts were.

P+ is not going to be handing them $50 million per ep budgets anytime soon.

As someone who likes what 80% of the seasons currently aired of the Kurzman era and 88% I think of the Berman era seasons I would call the current era a success of consistent likability.
Says the person who wouldn't give Paramount+'s most popular current Star Trek show a full 10 episode order for the final season.Not really a "dubious" source, but the Paramount+ Head of Originals had this interesting albeit vague comment in Deadline today:
Paramount+ Head Of Originals Jane Wiseman Talks Programming Strategy
In interview, Paramount+ Head Of Originals Jane Wiseman outlines programming strategy 1 year in: female dramas, genre, Taylor Sheridan & Tyler Perry.deadline.com
Not serious enough would be my guess. Regardless of my view, Star Trek is treated as serious business in terms of how it should be presented. People are serious and professionals like a 19th century noble naval officer, never swearing, no emotions expressed except in private spaces. Do not share personal things.
To be fair, she was hired two months after that decision was publicly announced on June 12, 2025. The article above (released today) is commemorating the one-year anniversary of her hire on August 13, 2025.Says the person who wouldn't give Paramount+'s most popular current Star Trek show a full 10 episode order for the final season.

Same but even then still not serious enough.I could do without the Muppet and musical eps.
Heaven forbid Trek is fun and whimsy occasionally out of 1000+ hours of entertainment.I could do without the Muppet and musical eps.

And?
People make a lot of hats.
Musical ep was brilliant IMO. Easily one of my favorites.I could do without the Muppet and musical eps.
I don't mind gimmicks as long as they have something interesting to do with them, and that one had a lot going on and deepened the characters. Plus the songs were bangers.
OTOH, the puppet episode of Community (which was also a musical now that I think about it) is easily one of my least favorite episodes of that series, not because it used puppets, but because the stories being told were uninteresting and didn't ring true to the characters.
We'll see where the SNW puppet episode ends up.
That was a recurring problem in the "gas leak year." The replacement showrunners just never had a handle on that final "Harmonization" Dan Harmon brought to the final draft scripts.
Shows you how vital the showrunner is to a series' voice, because most of the same writing staff from Community's third season stuck around for season four.
Now someone tells me.WE ARE NOT HERE TO HAVE FUN!!!
