Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

I think they’ve done a decent job of giving each series its own tone and identity.
In any case, SFA and the remaining two SNW seasons are all we’re going to be getting any time soon.

Star Trek currently just has this new series and Strange New Worlds, which has wrapped production on its final season. 🤷

Curiouser and curiouser…
- Comment on Exclusive: ‘Starfleet Academy’ Showrunners Talk Easter Eggs, DS9 “Love Letter,” And Keeping Star Trek Alive 1 day ago:
And episode 5 is essentially a love letter to Deep Space Nine.
Colour me intrigued, especially since the title is reportedly “Series Acclimation Mil,” which probably means it’s SAM-centric.
Even with the War College next door…
The War College is its own thing and the conversation was very Trek, which is: Is the War College still relevant now that we’ve moved into this new age where we’re actually able to harness back to the original vision of discovery and exploration and curiosity?
So the much-discussed War College has been confirmed to be…Academy-adjacent, separate from the Academy itself.

Big kudos to whoever came up with the episode one title. Very good stuff.

I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while
I get the impression that they expected to be done after five, but they expected a full 10-episode run for each. They’re on record saying that Paramout tried to cancel them after 4, and they were able to negotiate the abbreviated fifth season.

I personally think it’s best if a new series has some sort of “hook” that makes it unique - more of the same can be fine, but it’s better to have something that says, “this is why this ship/station/crew is worth following.”

Yeah, like I said, the professional haters are pretty easy to spot.
As far as removing negativity…well, our rules are pretty clear on that. Be respectful, explain yourself, and be truthful, and there’s not going to be a problem.
- Comment on I'm not a person who complain about lore or coherency in general, but I have a question, do Breen were in a city on ruins for five years after the Dominion War was over? 4 days ago:
I’m not certain I understand the question, but the Breen seemed relatively unscathed by the Dominion War - the front lines were nowhere near their homeworld, as far as we know.

Yeah, good call - I think it should be self-evident that links to the online hate machine are not allowed here. We all know the usual suspects, and they’re generally not hard to spot.

- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 6 days ago:
Well, I should add that I’ve mellowed on both series over time - I think Voyager is fine once you accept it for what it is, rather than for what it’s not, and Enterprise…well, there’s some good stuff in there, but it will never be near the top of my rewatch list.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 6 days ago:
A decent number of people vocally hated DS9, Voyager and Enterprise, when they first started airing
It me
(well okay, I never hated DS9, and my dislike for Voyager grew over time, but it basically me)
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 6 days ago:
So, putting aside your statements of quality (some of which I agree with and some of which do not, but it’s all subjective so whatever), I personally wouldn’t hold “audience size” or whether a series was cancelled against him, unless you think the shows weren’t any good. Seems like IDIC to me.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 6 days ago:
He’s not my favourite writer by any means, but I’m in almost total agreement with his overall approach to handling the property.
He wants each series to be unique, hires the showrunners, and seems to let them do their own thing. I think it’s a good approach, even though a couple of the projects fell short of their potential (y’know, in my opinion).
And he seems to work well with the suits, which is probably a good thing overall?

There’s a newer TrekMovie piece
Oh, thanks for this - I think I’ll share the original!

“Hint” was probably a poor choice of words, when I really meant that a renewal hasn’t been announced.
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!” 6 days ago:
What’s wrong with comedies?
Star Trek has a long history of comedy episodes, and arguably even a film, depending on how you feel about “The Voyage Home”.
Comedy and morality certainly aren’t mutually exclusive.
