Brain fart. Holly Hunter. (they're like the same person, aren't they? I mean, have they ever been seen in the same room together??)

Not enough for me to call him a "regular."
It certainly won't die like that. They'll either do another one or sell the franchise and someone else will do it. But they own it since the beginning, I don't see them sell it, it's a family jewel at that point.
They're just trying to create a new generation of trekkers but they're failing miserably cos they removed most of its substance.

IIRC they say he's not in any Season 2 episodes, so that's that I guess.

And they just cancelled the series. I'm 59 and I fear there might not be any new good Trek in what's left of my life. The people who own Paramount are those "Star Trek is too woke" types so I fear for the franchise.

I'd like to see a new epic ST movie... the last 3 were quite good really.

David Ellison is the new owner of Paramount. Without going into discussions of politics too much, he has said in the past that he "does not want to put his finger on the scale". His father (Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle) is a strong Republican supporter though. So who knows, maybe he will insist on no more business decisions that drive fans away. I mean, this practice of producing garbage that nobody watches and then blaming fans is bizarre. Gina Yashere just gave an interview where she did exactly that, in the same way that Robert Picardo, Amandla Stenberg, Viola Davis, and Rachel Zegler did when their shows failed. When traditional ST fans criticized ST:A, they said "this show was not made for you". So fans stayed away. Result: it tanked. Do they really think that pushing ideology and alienating fans will increase viewership numbers?
I'll always kinda wonder what that Tarantino Trek movie would have been like...that would have been a horse of a different color...

qt is a garbage trash director he would have ruined even worse than jar jar abrams who is a lousy rubbish director
I'm looking forward to watching this show later this year when the blu ray is released.
I appreciated William Shatner's response (posted on X) to all the haters:
"During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed."

Trek has always been woke. If you don't know that you weren't paying attention.
I’m 38 and have felt the same way for at least 10 years. Most content these days feels like it’s been optimised for mass appeal and cost efficiency.
I have two small kids so don’t get much time for tv, but when I do, I mainly watch older movies that I have never seen before. So much good stuff I have never seen, so it’s all new to me.

Yep. I'm hoping for a improvement with the Paramount-Warner merger.
To include a slowing of the demise of physical media like DVD&BluRay along with maybe some better movies at the theater.
Paramount-Warner Buys Theaters & DVD/Blu-ray Releases a Little More Time
Paramount-Skydance to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery as Netflix walks away. HBO Max on Paramount+ could give Netflix serious competition in a media landscape dominated by YouTube.

Completely agree, I really enjoyed the three J. J. Abrams led with Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock.
Look out though, we're gonna get beat up here for saying so.
True but they went a bit far in Academy and even more so Discovery. Unfortunately that's in everything today unless you watch the Christian financed stations, etc.
Casting for the main characters in those was very good. Excellent performances.
I didn't think the tone was quite right though, you want action in Trek but it shouldn't be at the expense of everything else. And the Spock/Uhura thing was just wrong. Doesn't Spock only go on heat once every 7 years or something?
