My point of view is: they had some success, they tried to milk it for money, it was overdone, and now because it was overdone we will have nothing at all.
I’m actually not sure if it was the number of shows or the fact that Star Trek has historically been episodic (even with DS9’s larger arcs), which is suited to longer seasons. The limited runs of modern shows places a lot more pressure on them to succeed instantly (and have a higher percentage of highly rated episodes) than the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT era.
They overdid it again. Too many shows at the same time and now we’ll have a decade(s) long lull.
I’d rather have nothing at all than these guys trying to milk a brand name for money.
