4 and a half minutes, or 5 and a half with the minute long title intro, into this and i’m already getting heavy vibes just from this screen cap that I’m going to want to chuck the writer, and everyone who signed off on this into the sun.

it’s not about brand loyalty; it’s about wanting to believe in and enjoy story telling that take place an egalitarian and just future for humanity.
i got to witness, first hand, as parts of the fandom shut itself off to various iterations of the series because of the updates it has gone through throughout the decades and i felt sorry for them as they missed out on new story telling because of it; robbing themselves of the experience.
i’m determined not to become ossified like them as i go through middle age and i know that even really bad star trek stories, like the 5th movie, have exceptional and worthwhile nuggets of story telling or character development within them.
ok i want that too, but I didn’t see evidence of it coming from kurtzman and the only leverage we have is not buying bad products.
Star Trek is very much a product of Hollywood despite it’s aspirational content and subject to the same profit driven motives that demand perpetual growth; in the past, it was berman that Hollywood believed could increase Star Trek’s growth and now it’s kurtzman, for better or worse.
I intend to watch either way (just not right away if it’s seems in poor taste) and in the hopes that the clearly better talent, matalas, has a chance to shine like the last time the clearly better talent did during the previous tenure did, w behr and deep space nine.
