Why the hate for Alex Kurtzman?

I can't believe your double talk. You acknowledge that he is in charge and was responsible for things not going right, and yet you say this this not his fault? May I remind you that the the good old days McCoy would visit a very unhappy, tortured Captain Kirk and try to tell him that things were not his fault, to which Kirk (our hero) replied, "I am the Captain. That makes it my fault." This is called taking responsibility for your actions and accepting responsibility for your command. Is Kurtzman in charge or not? If he isn't then it is not his fault any more than it is my fault- I have no power over anything in Star Trek except my opinion. Well, Kurtzman IS in charge and if Star Trek is a mess it IS his fault. The difference between Kirk and Kurtzman is thaty Kirk is not real, but also Kirk was out there facing unknowns that challenged the human imagination. Kurtzman has let Star Trek go to hell because he is incompetent. Nobody loves Star Trek any more because it is NOT STAR TREK ANYMORE. Is this Disneyland where everyone gets a free pass for screwing up? Star Trek is dead because the show runners have killed it. What is so hard to understand about that?

I don't know why I bother. If you have not figured this out already you never will. And that is just too bad.
Is that you, Robert Meyer Burnett?
 
I've been a Star Trek fan for over 50 years I've seen every piece of canon Star Trek ever made. And it's all been Star Trek. Has it all been the same? No, thank God. Have I liked all of it? No. But it's all been Star Trek.

Frankly, the last people in all the universe whose opinion on Star Trek would ever seriously in the slightest are the gatekeepers who make these kinds of blanket statements intended to impose their opinion over reality.
