News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

He didn't *destroy* Discovery. If he had destroyed it, we wouldn't be living in a time that has more trek than ever before - something that is exactly due to Star Trek Discovery's SUCCESS.

On this point I 100% agree. It amazes me the rhetoric that gets tossed around about Star Trek and it's "destruction." Someone please show me this destruction, as in the thing that I grew up with is no longer available for my consumption. Oh, wait? It's not? I can still watch TOS, or DS9 or other Trek I like if I don't like current output?

Destruction must mean something very different to other people than to me...

I like several things about this:

1) The adventure continue in the 32nd century.

2) I like that some part of DISCO will continue (32nd, Tilly, etc) and the DISCO characters COULD appear in the future.

3) I like that it will be a DS9 character based show. DS9 legacy in spirit if not the characters themselves.

They mean it ruined their head canon.

Fuller's decisions are what many fans initially didn't like about Discovery. Sure, it's Kurtzman's ultimate responsibility decision to approve it but I get the sense that he's an executive that supports what his showrunners generally want to do / think is best.

Right...I forgot about that. The worst kind of destruction.

But I already used up all my elective credits!

Kurtzman was brought in by CBS at the time to fix Fuller's mess and get Discovery back on budget and staying there, so he didn't actually approve anything. This is why so many visual changes were walked back in season 2.

I don’t know why anyone pays attention to him, he was one of the Axanar thieves.

Kurtzman was on Discovery as a producer and co-creator from the very beginning. But yes Bryan Fuller as showrunner mandated the Klingon changes and such.

Because he is buddy buddy with Trek savior Terry Matalas.

At the time Alec Kuztman was a Rick Berman to Bryan Fuller's Gene Roddenberry (Fuller's idiosyncrasies were known and they wanted someone who'd brought in a Star Trek production before working with him.)

Well that just took away 90 minutes of my life on a Twitter deep dive...

Not expecting to see Terry Matalas and company show up for PICARD YouTube aftershows now

Also a perfect example of RMB being a complete idiot.

 

[urbandk]

RMB and people like him are the reason why I ride hard for extra super duper woke trek squared because few things bring me more joy than angry bigots' spittle and tears.

 

[gvn2fly]

So people defending RMB are saying he's just making valid criticisms. What's the valid criticism..that the new shows have diversity and the new one might have diversity?

A terrifying notion for a bitter middle aged white man like RMB.

A terrifying notion for a bitter middle aged white man like RMB.

As a nearly middle aged white man I have to ask when did diversity become bad? Did I miss a meeting? I thought diversity was a good thing and was taught from my white parents, and grew up with multiple nationalities in various professions. Sorry, but I wasn't aware that this was a quality of becoming middle age and white, and really should have been consulted before this app was installed...
