During a recent panel aboard the Star Trek Cruise ship (via Screen Rant), Marina Sirtis stated Star Trek: Legacy is “never going to happen.”

Marina Sirtis: First of all, Legacy is never gonna happen.

Jonathan Frakes: Come on, Marina!

Marina Sirtis: You know, you hate hearing the truth. There is not a single studio in America that is gonna make a series where most of the leading actors are over 70 years old. I’m sorry, but that’s just the truth. It’s just Hollywood.

Not him specifically but that management pattern broadly over the entertainment industry. There’s The Showrunner and they’re supposed to control multiple films and series. I bet it’s exhausting and that’s why later stuff just isn’t as good.

By giving more people more freedom we’ll get more stories from more perspectives with different takes, instead of a corporate monoculture.

This is a pattern that happens every time control is decentralized, across social groups, so I’m pretty sure it’ll work.
