News? Stories from Dubious Sources

Find movie it to dubious sources, but I reserve the right to say I told you so.
If Star Trek Legacy happens it will mean a lot more than than random YT stumbling in to a truth.

It's not going to make me take them more seriously. YT is an unearned platform that doesn't warrant much when it comes to news.
 
Why would Amazon be involved at all? It would mean Paramount have given up on their own streaming service outside the US.

We'd be back where we were in 2017 when Netflix commissioned Disco (back then, Disco streamed on both Netflix and CBS All Access).

If there IS something going on behind the scenes that Terry isn't permitted to discuss, it would explain his deer-caught-in-the-headlights behavior recently (The SixScaleMafia interview, the Hollywood Food Coalition event :shifty: ).

*** sigh ***

Terry, Terry, Terry ... You of all people should know that the fan campaign for Legacy has been a thing for a while now, right? :rolleyes:

You seriously under estimate the value of Youtube and the value of citizen journalism. Yes you have to filter out the BS, but that is true of main stream medua as well.

I see no reason to value something when it's just "my sources say." type scoops. That is more like tabloid journalism claiming to have inside information from Buckingham palace.

I enjoy YouTube for a lot of things. News is not one of them.
 
I'd like to believe it. But I'll out-of-mind it until the alleged announcement. No reason for me to invest any further serious thought in the meantime. Far less stressful that way.

You absolutely need to filter out this kind of BS.

I think Legacy will happen in some form or fashion, no doubt. But I think the details this guy has are completely off and I have no reason to trust him. Looking at his videos, and remembering the few I've watched, there's a lot of crap rumormongering there that never amounted to much of anything. Anyone can say that they have a source. What makes him better?

Valid question.

And why should I take it seriously? Isn't it better to wait and find out than to sit there and hope some random person on the Internet has an answer?

Fandom is truly bizarre sometimes.

Sports fandom is full of speculation, armchair quarterbacking, and rumors, so it makes sense that would also happen in any other fandom where critical mass exists.

If it makes you feel any better, several YouTubers have said covering Star Trek is now a loss leader. Apathy has set in. Apparently even very pro-NuTrek (well, minus PICARD season 3 after the fact) creators like TrekCulture have seen their numbers drop.

But at the same time, demand for new (subjectively good) Star Trek exceeds the supply of new (subjectively good) Star Trek. Hence why you still have pieces coming out about PICARD season 3 and articles to various degrees of clickbait about what the odds of Legacy happening under the conditions of the month.

Doesn't make it less bizarre. It's a ridiculous behavior rewarded by click bait and people propagating supposedly hidden knowledge.

I'm indifferent.

Yes.

And it's bizarre to me. See above.
 
Well sometimes there really is insider information being passed on.
Sometimes?

It's ridiculous this game.

Well, you seem to have liked a lot of the NuTrek output. Others, not so much.
Non sequitur is a non sequitur.

I don't like a lot of Trek but I don't run videos out stating random rumors about Trek series supposedly coming out and rumor mongering.

It's just weird. Weirder still is the amount of stock put in to it.
