I think we have a lot more to worry about when our government can elicit bribes in the form of censorship.
But this particular instance won’t affect Trek but capitalism ruins everything, eventually.
The bribe was the settlement payout. The censorship is just a bonus.
If anything, it could greatly help combat censorism.
Let's see how brave Colbert is.
Capitalism has already ruined trek like 4 times.
I kinda wish that I still had a Paramount+ subscription to cancel over this, but I think my previous reason for cancelling, that it sucks ass, is still valid too
But it’s a mountain of entertainment!
It's a mountain of something alright
I’m still mad that they weren’t content with making a new and bad Star Trek show but tried to retroactively drag TNG into the abyss
Honestly? Mediocrity. It had maybe two things. I just waited for the dvds to drop and borrowed ST from the library.
In an ideal future, Paramount goes under, sells the IP to someone who actually cares about it. Can't say it's likely, but one can dream.
Maybe now we’ll get Captain Seven of Nine just that now she will rejoin the Borg and the show will explain how good it is to be Borg
"Hey, the Ferengi might just have the right idea!"
you can't tell me that the cancelation isn't related to the $16m payout to Trump and the Paramount sale.
I just hope the next 10 months Colbert goes hard on Trump.
I just watched strange new worlds season 1 and was about to pull the trigger on paramount+. Not going to happen now.
America, when it voted for its own ruin.
Voted for freedom, but wants to take away everyone else's freedoms instead
The Capitol, when its walls fell
I'm not a Paramount subscriber but was thinking of getting it to watch Picard. Now I'll just wait til there's a free 30-day trial, or til they put it on Netflix or whatever.
Sail the high seas my friend. Yarrr
Don't have to stress about high seas if you have a browser and an ad block sail the Grey seas and check out the streaming other sites.
Picard plots were pretty weak.
But strange new worlds is really really good. The plot, the acting, photography, direction, everything. They even had a crossover with lower decks which is another series, they're hilarious!
Stewart and Colbert,
together where the rivers join.
As apes together strong,
before the reptile house.
Trek is dead. It's legacy will be what it inspires in us.
legacy
:(
We still have Strange New Worlds for now, at least.
I'm not particularly sad that Colbert is canceled as he really grated on me during the pandemic series with the incredible sense of requiring attention, to the point his wife was involved as an audience. The reason for canceling him, however, is definitely a bullshit excuse for bending over to pay the Taco Tax.
Bazminti when he pulled back the veil. The beast at Tanagra.
The only thing that Star Trek has been good for for the last forty years is slapping a brand on science fiction stories that otherwise wouldn't get funding. Some of those stories were good, but pretty much all of them would've been better without the baggage of the Star Trek universe. As long as science fiction is being made there's no need for Star Trek.
