Must mean the shows he's doing are doing pretty well for CBS then...I'm not sure how anyone could come away from that news with any other conclusion than that.

If Discovery and the rest of current Trek wasn't profitable, CBS wouldn't be doing this, obviously. But I still laugh at the idea that CBS is trying to save face and double down by continually pumping millions into a falling sink hole of a failing investment.

This is disappointing news to hear but not surprising.

What's really funny is that Trek fans are going to watch Trek no matter what. Meanwhile the only non-Trek show this guy did (Clarice) bombed. The Trek show everyone wanted to see (Strange New Worlds) was the one he didn't want to do. He wanted to do a show about Section 31.

Yeah...it's totally all people just hate watching it. No other possibility.

If one doesn't like his work, ignore it.

He is doing just great for CBS ALL ACCESS...I mean Paramount+ which is damning with faint praise. At least I think he is....no one releases streaming numbers LOL.When it's shown on CBS it doesn't do well.... Originally Posted by thwhtGuardian

Yeah, about 2 years after it originally aired. I don't even have Paramount+ and I watched it on DVD about a year before it aired on CBS. Originally Posted by Anthony W

Yep, ready for the Discovery crew to cry and hug and Picard to get screamed at? Originally Posted by Derek Metaltron

Have to say that Kurtzman seems to be doing better work supervising Star Trek than he did than writing the J.J. Abrams movies.

X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

Haven't seen Picard yet since they split it up between streaming services, and Dad and I elected not to bother with Season 3 of Discovery. We can only stand Sonequa Martin-Green using her one of two acting faces for so long. I'll miss Tilly but that's about it. Originally Posted by Anthony W

I'm not sure how people can unironically talk about their favourite film and TV series as "franchises" and "intellectual property" and then still be surprised when it turns out the whole thing is just a way to make new money from old rope. Originally Posted by Anthony W
