Been too busy to get back to watching it since we kicked Scott Frost to the curb. Seems like we're rebuilding... but you know how many times I've gone through that spiel since Frank Solich was fired?I take it you haven't watched recently?
I'm talking about College Football in general. The broadcasts now are very much like NFL broadcasts. They even have a two-minute warning at the end of each half to cram a few more commercials in.
That doesn't surprise me... once the money infiltrates, everything gets shittier for the fans.
As I pointed out a few days ago, SFA's showrunners did not possess one clue about what makes an interesting concept for a ST series, and certainly not one which would draw in a large part of the base, so it seems unlikely that Paramount--after fueling/funding this poor era of ST until it crashed into the Earth as a fiery disaster no one cared enough to worry about--will know what to "go back" to. This era of series would suggest the "back" is something they wanted to forget or reimagine until that which sent ST to the cultural Mount Rushmore is altered into something next to no one asked for.
Yup. The peoole making these newer shows seemed to care little about the source material. Matalas came the closest to honoring trek. SNWs new season sounds like it's going to be no better than what we got its last seasin. No matter what excuses peoole give me but the high water points for trek were during the 80s and 90s. People say no one will watch that kind of trek. So people would choose Kurtzman trek over TWOK, TVH etc. I very much doubt it.
Kurtzman respected the source material far more than Berman ever did. Giving Romulans cloaking devices in the Enterprise era is by far and without doubt or question the biggest continuity screw up in all of Star trek.

I haven't seen many argue otherwise, other than TOS should be top of the Trek mountain.
They do? Pretty sure people watch all sorts of Trek not just 80s and 90s.
Eh… I think there are bigger ones out there.
Still waiting on that wonderful definition of Star Trek, it's tone anything else somewhat useful to giving constructive feedback to the studio.
Twenty years ago, people thought the same thing about Rick Berman.
More things change, the more they stay the same.
You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
Here's the objective point: SFA was cancelled, and the ST franchise's fate (regarding confirmed new content) is up in the air--on the 60th anniversary year of the series that started it all. There's nothing good about that from a business or cultural standpoint.
I never knew fans relied on business for the impact of a property.
Here's another objective point - Strange New Worlds was canceled as well -- after season 4. They had to talk the network into a shortened final season. The truth is, this era of Star Trek, like the Berman era before it, has simply run its course.
I also believe that a large part of of the current situation is that Paramount simply overextended itself with its Star Trek content. This is hardly a Paramount / Star Trek exclusive phenomenon. Disney overextended itself with its Star Wars and Marvel content and had to cut back considerably in a similar manner. That's why we got a Mandalorian movie instead of a season 4 and while nobody at Marvel is saying that Moon Knight has been canceled, it's been a long time since I've heard any word on a second season. Armor Wars seems to be dead in the water.
At the beginning of the streaming era, everybody bet the moon on stockpiling shitloads of new content to attract subscribers, and that is a model that was never going to sustain itself. It's honestly a similar story across the board. Then everything comes screeching to a halt with the writers and actor strikes, which costs the studios more money. Factor in the new ownership...

You mean like with Enterprise?
Enterprise was a well slowly filling up. People just quit or died of dehydration while it was still empty.
It's hilarious to me this idea that gets in to the inherent contradiction of opinions; "this stuff is ruining the franchise!" And "you'll miss it when it's gone."
Humans don’t make sense, most of the time.
