News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
Yeah, we know.
Wake me up when we have actual news. Just for kicks, I looked at the anticipation threads for Discovery and people were mixed back then too.
We're not going to know anything until the show airs. It could be good, it could be bad. We don't know the directives handed down from Paramount, what they're working with, etc.
I'm not going looking for negative press here because a person did another show on the CW or whatever the fuck. It's asinine negative bias.
The primary evidence that Starfleet Academy will probably be good, IMHO, is the Kurtzman Trek shows have tended to get better over time.
The first seasons of Discovery and Picard were bumpy and flawed (though I thought Picard started a bit better). Lower Decks was well formed straight out the gate, if not quite as good as in later seasons. Prodigy and Strange New Worlds were great from the first episode.

Bryan Fuller would have made Discovery a great show IMO. They should have never fired him. I was also thinking more of the lines of what Tony Gilroy did for Andor and Jon Favreau did for the Mandalorian, Russell T Davies returning to Doctor Who and yes also Matalas for Picard.
He did also win a Oscar though.
He couldn't deliver a show on time and on budget!
How do you keep someone on who can't respect a limit like that?
How odd. People can produce good work and bad work, you say? Amazing!!
Falling Down.
Four years later, Batman and Robin.
So...yeah.

While I love Bryan Fuller as a creative writer, his track record as a showrunner is not good. (I think Jeri Taylor was the same... her individual episodes are usually very good, but as a showrunner, she was mediocre at best. The two seasons where she was fully in charge, TNG season 7 and VOY season 3, is proof of this... both are arguably the weakest seasons of those shows.) Fuller has an incredible imagination... almost a storybook quality to it. Particularly when you look at WONDERFALLS and PUSHING DAISIES. (I loved DEAD LIKE ME... have not seen HANNIBAL, so I can't comment on it.)
As an idea person and a creative mind, he's outstanding. But when it comes to the reality of getting it done, he is somewhat lacking.
He also reminds me of David Lynch somewhat... very creative, but needs a partner to rein in some of his excesses.
Others have said here that Ronald D. Moore would be an ideal person to take the reins of a STAR TREK series, and I am in 100 percent agreement on that. Not only does he have a superb track record of episodes he's written in the franchise and he knows the material and is a fan, but he also has a great track record as a showrunner for multiple shows.
I liked the first Picard season better than the others.
Well, it just shows how different opinions can be...
Schumacher wanted a live action cartoon and that's exactly what Goldsman gave him. Task completed successfully.
Ron Moore is on record as saying he will not return to Star Trek. As for Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, well, given the stories that have since come to light about their behavior in the Lost writer's room...
How about Naren Shankar? Showrunner of the Expanse, executive producer on series like For All Mankind and Farscape, and he even wrote a few Star Trek episodes! Granted one of them was DS9's Babel, but that was actually a good episode and people are all very mean to it.

You be patient. Sooner or later it will pay off if the person is talented enough to make your show, really good.
Money is not infinite. I reread some threads and he was perpetually behind.
That's bad business.
I love this choice. He would be perfect to help lead a new Star Trek show.
Not one of my favorite episodes and in fact one I avoid.
The last thing I saw from Ron Moore was he'd love to return to Trek, but he has an exclusive contract with Sony which precludes it for some time.
