Spoilers TV movies every 2 years!

Speaking for myself, this is the most underwhelming news since I heard that there’s gonna be a Starfleet Academy show and a movie about Section 31.
 
Wonder how that's going? There's been no news on the Khan Podcast since the initial announcement.

The only thing we heard was Nicholas Meyer saying he wrote it as a miniseries of 3 two hour episodes. So it can be done as 3 TV movies or maybe condensed into 1.
 
I would love for some of these tv movies to be set in the Kelvinverse as well. I know I sound like a Kelvin fanboy (and well I am) but that universe is virtually unexplored (except for the three films), it's a virtual blank slate, you can even have cameos from the Core Six (Pine, Quinto, Saldana, Urban, Cho, Pegg, maybe even Bruce Greenwood as Pike if the stories take place prior to Into Darkness) pop up.
 
Sounds like a workable pace to me. Hopefully that will help bring the cream of ideas to the top.
That's always the hope. Quality over quantity.

In fact, it's one rationale for the shorter seasons we have now. But judging by recent seasons, that's hit or miss. Misses with Discovery 3 & 4, Picard 1 & 2. Hits with Discovery 1 & 2, SNW 1, and Picard 3.

That's a 50% success rate even with the shorter seasons.

Not a fan of those movies but could be cool. Would allow them to tell a different kind of story that doesn't have to follow canon as we know it. Hey if Discovery season 5 doesn't follow up on Calypso my head canon can just be that's in the Kelvin universe LOL

Interesting..I thought most people seemed to prefer Disco 3 and 4.
 
Wow! With a wide range of new TV movies, series and miniseries conceivably on the horizon, prospects are certainly now abundant for Star Trek.
I'm not sure if I'd say abundant is the correct word. All streamers are cutting back their production budgets, including P+.

We're likely losing a live action Trek series and maybe gaining a 2-hour movie every two years. While there are benefits to one off movies like that, it's not an increase in Trek.

I'd like to see more of the A than just that little teaser at the end :D

Almost everyone I know, and many of the reactions I've read, like 1 and 2 more than before compared to how bad 3 and 4 were :D
