Thus ends all planned Trek shows and movies. No movies or shows are planned or in the works.

    Furious.

    Paramount is taking a minority but vocal online response as gospel, like they have for all new trek.

    The 90s era shows there was no social media. All it’s done is give “influencers” with minority opinions that peddle anger to make ad revenue from YouTube and Twitter, an outsized voice for corporations to listen to. The same types of people that seem to have opinions totally anathema to the Trek ethos in general. The anti-Woke brigade coming along as if Trek doing the same thing it always has is somehow new and different.

    For the modern trek shows, that seems to be the only group that Paramount listens to, probably because it requires absolutely no effort. They can have ChatGPT or Grok consolidate those opinions easily.

    It probably doesn’t help that clear public fascists were just allowed to purchase Paramount. And Trek’s ideas are directly counter to how they want the world to work.

      You need to get a clue. Paramount didnt cancel it because of negative social media chatter. They cancelled it because the Nielsen ratings sucked. People weren’t watching it. - in spite of all the “love” studio bot shills were shitting out all over social media. You are actually the one in the minority .

      I personally believe this is the only factor at play. They’re clearing house so they can produce a fascist friendly Trek franchise. It’s the trajectory they’d go in no matter what reception Academy got. The online hubbub is just convenient cover.
