They put up the first episode of Academy for free on youtube 4 days ago and it’s averaged like 2000 views per hour. The episode cost $10 million to make. It’s not sustainable to expend these Kurtzman budgets for the audience it gets economically. It’s not like there’s kids lining up at Walmart to buy Discovery toys. Star Trek: Enterprise was averaging 2.9 million viewers per episode with a MUCH smaller budget when it was cancelled.
It is sad. Kurtzman ruined a franchise that is probably doomed to be discontinued imminently for lack of interest. If you can’t tell the difference between moments of levity in Berman Trek and the tone issue in Kurtzman Trek…
Red Letter Media just had a video about how Kurtzman Trek people who point to that DS9 scene overtly never saw that episode and looked up “silly Trek Scene” on Google. Same applies to your other gifs, tbh. You have overtly never seen these episodes. I don’t see why you kids even bother arguing. You won. All 3000 of you get to enjoy Vampire Diaries in space while millions of old men weep…
It’s deeply unserious.
If you can’t see how Kurtzman Trek is vastly crasser and dumber than Berman Trek, I don’t know what to tell you.
Okay, you don’t value the tone of pre-Kurtzman Trek. Great, it’s your series and IP nobody cares about anymore at this point, you won. Enjoy Holly Hunter’s The Magicians in space. I liked a prior version of the IP, which in my humble opinion was better via being actually popular.
Exactly, these people are supposed to be the most psychologically and mentally and physically tested people in the galaxy. It was a scandal in TNG when Lt “Broccoli” was less than 110% because this is supposed to be the Delta Force of a more enlightened era when we expend our energy on peace and prosperity, so everyone tried to get him up to Enterprise spec, and he did, and it was a win for everyone. Can you imagine a Discovery character on a Berman Trek bridge?
Woke Kurtzman Trek is actually oddly misogynist if you think about it. Captain Janeway is a real, respectable officer who can go toe to toe with any man (or other) she encounters, because she’s badass, and a rock-solid Starfleet officer in the mold of Kirk, Picard, and Sisko. Holly Hunter curled up in the captain’s chair like she’s getting cozy at home in front of a fire is a BAD look. Diverse casts of all shapes and orientations swearing at each other and acting like it’s high school, not a representation of a federation of hundreds of billions of sentients is a BAD look. Woke, dumb Kurtzman Trek portrays more female and diverse crews as less professional and dumber than their predecessors in Berman Trek, which I’m pretty sure is the opposite of what they’re trying to achieve.

Well the DNC doesn’t do real, democratic primaries in general (In the rare event of a primary voter revolt they just run Lieberman/Cuomo/whoever against their own voters in the general) so Newsom is on lock, assuming they don’t proactively decide to lose by ordaining Kamala again. The GOP does have a democratic primary process, so I give decent odds MTG beats JD in the 2028 primary if she runs, so it could be Kamala v MTG…
Trump doesn’t have the balls to boots on the ground invade Venezuela, much less take Greenland. These men are cowards, Donny.
I can swear Ubuntu was able to just do this out of the box years ago, as long as you were okay with the Ubuntu partition being FAT32…
I think they also thought Trump eking out a win by 1 point represented some sea change in voter sentiment and went FULL Goebbels for him after doing the same but less for Biden when he won by 1 point also (look a the start and end dates on every corporate DEI program). Watch as this is all kidnapping or not depending on how president Newsom wants it covered after beating JD by 1 point in 2028…
He should be buying those Chinese air-air missiles that give an advantage over US designs. Whatever happened to the Canada that burned down the White House in 1812?
The Democrats are not the left, they’re the brand the right uses to undermine class solidarity with women, minorities, and LGBTQ+'s
Yeah, AFAIK, Peertube is inherently public so the peeping toms in the French police just have what they want anyway by design.
This isn’t going to happen as there isn’t a contingent of deeply evil Greenlander exiles in South Florida running the US from Mar-a-Lago, unlike Cuba and Venezuela, whose rightfully exiled upper class now rule what of our foreign policy the Israelis don’t.
I feel a great disturbance in the Fediverse, as if a thousand Blue MAGAs cried out in pain and were suddenly silenced.
Funny, I remember us ending up with Trump because the Democrat party views its own voters with abject contempt and forced an 80yo genocidal madman on the electorate twice without a legitimate primary where Barrack Obama doesn’t order anybody to drop out… but sure, it’s the voters’ fault for not liking that the DNC won’t even deign to pander to its own voters. This is a smart take that is in no way a sign of Stockholm syndrome identifying with your abuser…
I can’t bring myself to Star Wars anymore, they broke me… how have they not broken you yet?
Every Kurtzman Trek product has operated at a loss so far, and it’s not like they’re making that up on merch… there’s a rumor out there that Les Moonves signed an insane contract with Kurtzman out of spite for being metooed on his way out where they need to pay a flat $250mil to Kurtzman to STOP making these… doesn’t seem like an insane theory when you have literally $2 billion spent on Star Trek content with a viewership under a million people.
