Comment on 'Starfleet Academy' Deserved Better Than This

It’s arguably only Prodigy that has faced a similarly unfortunate fate
This is certainly true by the standards laid out, but I’m struck by the fact that the only new series that was more-or-less free of studio fuckery was Picard (which certainly had its own issues).

Even then it wasn’t. Chabon was hired on for a 3 season slow-burn plot about the nature of humanity and about a legacy left sullied, and he didn’t even get 1/3 of the way there before they stuck interdimensional killer robots from outerspace into it for a big climax. Then they falsely lured him away from the project with a promise to produce a show on his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, and shoved Matalas in there to let him do his TNG Sequel.
