Given the purchase of Paramount by the Ellison family, I unfortunately think we are going to witness the eshitification of Trek in the coming decade 😢

Edit: meaning they will want to remove the "wokeness"

    Enshitification of Trek has already been here for a decade.

    It doesn't all happen at once, but in the last decade there's been six new Trek shows and one and half of them have been decent.

    even by comparison, Enterprise 2000-04, was better than recent ones.

    I know it's rough around the edges - some odd plotlines, some 90s hornbag writing and fanservice that causes some deserved cringe. But it also has a cast of interesting characters from diverse backgrounds trying to represent their various clans with exemplary work, and figure out how to work together to build a better future for them all. It's hopeful and grounded, and leads well into TOS, which is what it was designed to do.

    Almost like the writers understood and respected what Gene Roddenberry had created Star Trek for.

    it happened after jj abrams, kurtzman ruined the franchise with his dislike of the franchise(i dont he actually want to be showrunner). In his own words he doesnt care about the continuity.

    there was like a 5-6 year drought after enterprise ended. oh yea right wingers bought P+, it wont go well when they demand certain"unsavory elements" be removed from trek.

    Yeah, I am very worried about Trek (and Avatar).

    Are Trekkies not in a panic over this? I guess Ellison isn’t super famous, and a lot of criticism is probably censored/deranked, but still.

    It's way too late for panic. The shows were mostly all already bad. Being differently bad doesn't move the needle.
