True. I mean, there were always many urban myths surrounding Trek history. Stories told that weren't accurate, some based on truth but exaggerated etc. But since fandoms moved more into social networks these things multiply and spread like wildfire.

I only started to noticing that expression fairly recently as well, but I'm wise enough not to assume whatever I haven't heard til now simply doesn't exist.

Oh wow, there is a couple of titles I've been looking for for ages. What a treasure to find.
darinnajem.bsky.social
Fair enough. I don't find that to be sufficient grounds for optimism, but I hope your high hopes turn out to be opportune.

I suppose it can be phrased that way, okay. But people got exactly that with SNW, but now the ratings are in decline, because people that waged hate campaigns against Discovery for being too much about saving the universe are now hating SNW for not being all about saving the universe.

True, lots of assumptions there. But saying that ownership of Trek changed and thus everything will be peachy creamy from now on contains just as many assumptions and those seems far less probable to me than an axiom that 'all ultra rich CEOs are spineless scumbags that only ever care for money'.

Why?

Serious question. What exactly has he ever done that would earn him mine, yours of anybody else's trust? And what has he ever done that would demonstrate his understanding of Trek?

If you have something to relieve my worries, by all means, don't keep it to yourself.

You mean the right-wing extremist CEO of Skydance? You seriously expect a person like that to "get" Trek?

Idk I worry they might actually try to subvert it into some sort of space imperialism propaganda about Starfleet forcefully imposing its values on alien civilizations, because foreign=inferior.

I'm not so sure. Large part of fandom are casual fans that only ever watch any series once and they get fed up with it quickly. If you oversaturate the market you start to lose your audience. Besides people are spoiled by quality TV these days and they would not suffer filler episodes anymore.

No, they didn't. They saw a foreigner, they hate foreigners, they searched desperately for any excuse to arrest him and they did. No incompetence.
Evil.

Welcome to America.

Did anybody document it?

Collapsing the economy is exaggerations. What he wants is economic depression, which is a disaster for middle class, meaning most people, but very good for ultra rich, that can do mass aquisitions of failing businesses and real estate nation-wide.

Bogus or not, those charges are kept on your criminal record, right? Meaning every time you apply for a job or get a passport or really anything, you get treated as a criminal. It significantly makes your life much much worse, only beause a sadistic ICE officer decided to take his revenge on you.

I remember the cancellation of #ENT. I didn't care for that show then (I grew to appreciate it much much later), but I was smart enough to realize that throwing that series under the bus equals throwing #Trek as a whole under the bus.

I only wish fans had learned their lesson back then.
darinnajem.bsky.social
Yeah well they kicked me out just for saying what I think about their musky führer. Didn't seem like they care for interesting conversation back then, so, let them keep their MAGA fascist/russian trollbot echo chamber.

This is especially insulting after all those conversations with MAGA about how they can support a leader that completely turned his back at the allies in Ukraine, while they're being slaughtered, and getting mostly "we give nobody nothing, let them all die, America first" answers.

I keep learning of months old horrors and I follow this stuff very closely. I’m sure the level of brutality and misconduct has not fully reached the public. The population cleansing agents are out of control.
darinnajem.bsky.social
Of course you can. Just take a look at Hungary under Orban. Which is, by the way, one of the templates this current US regime is using to rewrite the country.

Well isn't this what American's voted for? That mass deportation won't do itself, after all.
