I hope this means “luxury gay space communism team diversity” and not “everyone needs to have a command rank” gets it.
Big doubt. New owners values is the polar opposite of what Star Trek stands for.
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The owners care more about the news type aspects of these purchases, not the entertainment side.
Look at all the vocal MAGA Trek “fans” that seem to completely ignore the history of the franchise when trying to say it’s gone Woke and similar shit. Just because the owners are fascists that doesn’t mean the showrunners will be forced to avoid tackling topics indirectly. That’s what Trek has always done, sometimes less indirectly than others.
Shatner and Nichols intentionally butchered every take that didn’t involve them kissing and made television history doing so.
I hope that moving forward Trek keeps that same spirit no matter how oppressive the new corporate regime may be.
I don’t even know what Star Trek stands for anymore. It just seems to be slogging on for money, for quite a while now.
Even in the original sense, Gene Roddenberry’s high-principled ideals was kind of sabotaged by how he actually conducted himself. That said, a lot of great stories and eps were produced along the way, IMO.
