This. For a franchise based on “to boldly go where no one has gone before” a lot of Trekkies seem to hate the future & new life & new civilizations, preferring only more of the past & what we’ve already seen. I’ll never understand it.

Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

Car-centric design is simply a man-made construct. We can just as easily build a new culture and infrastructure centred around people, healthly living and the environment. Everywhere I've visited that has implemented and embraced these changes has been a wonderful place to be.

@fandompulse Yes. Maybe you can get new fans for the man with a pet bat, but if nobody is clamoring for that show then probably not

Neil Gaiman on why fans abandon popular franchises: "The fan base are fans. And they like the source material because it's the source material they like. So if you do something else, you risk alienating the fans on a monumental scale. It's not Batman if he's now a news reporter in a yellow trenchcoat with a pet bat." Do you agree with him?

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

Just when you think CA couldn’t go further… Asm. Pacheco has authored AB 2563 which redefines “sex discrimination” across 29 state codes. It would become an act of discrimination to deny a 12 year-old a mastectomy or a male rapist access to women’s prison 1st Hearing: April 7

@djairrick Nah. There wasn't an audience for this show. I think there are still people in the industry who know what people want to see, we'll just have to wait for some of them to come up with a new iteration. I won't mind a loooong break though, time to get the stink off and what not.

So what I think this signals, if they dont pick anything up in the next few months it that Star Trek cannot move past its nostalgia audience. That means once they are gone, so is Star Trek as culturally relevant. Congrats internet fools, you did this!

EXCLUSIVE: “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will end with its upcoming second season. The show failed to find a significant audience, not ranking on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming viewership charts at any point during its 10-episode first season. wp.me/pc8uak-1lH3kQ

@Hitchslap1 It's all self defeating too. The higher IQ folks leave Africa and the rest are left to fend for themselves. It's a shame more people don't stay and get that place sorted.

The funniest part of the Starfleet Academy discourse was this: modern shows never fail on their own merits. It's always trolls. Always review bombers. Never the show.

People often tell women to “be kind” to men who identify as women and say they just want to live their lives. But what happens when that “kindness” is not returned? A 'trans woman' has claimed he has shared my home address publicly - and that he is willing to provide it to others - following my Sunday Telegraph investigation on safeguarding concerns within the Girlguiding movement. I have chosen not to name him at this stage. But I will be reporting this to the police. Publishing or sharing someone’s private address without consent - often referred to as 'doxxing' - is a serious matter and may constitute a criminal offence. It has been highlighted to me that another offence may have been committed too - am currently taking advice. This goes beyond disagreement. No journalist - or anyone - should be subjected to this for doing their job. And the public really needs to wake up to the lengths some individuals will go to to ensure men can enter single sex spaces for women and children.

@jonburkeUK We don't have a ton of anti renewable energy propaganda. We have some bad renewal energy policies that rightly get blow back though.

You can’t afford a coal mine. You can’t afford a gas turbine. You can’t afford an oil rig. Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can. But you can afford a solar power station on your roof. Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

@fandompulse That was an unnecessarily long screed. Imagine if every show that was ever cancelled after a season or two reacted this way...

Showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau react to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy getting shut down: "It’s been my and Noga’s joy and privilege to help carry Gene Roddenberry’s extraordinary vision forward with Starfleet Academy, thanks to the hundreds of hardworking humans who pour every ounce of their talents into the work daily with imagination and reverence. We are in post-production now on what will be the second and final season. We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together on this show, and the world will get to see the work of these extraordinary artists when season two airs. We will finish strong. Whether you’re working on Star Trek or part of the marvel that is Star Trek fandom — its very heart, soul, and conscience —the joy comes from adventuring across boundaries of time, space, and the humanly possible in service to Roddenberry’s transformative vision of the future. That incomparable vision was fueled by an inexhaustible optimism. Star Trek places its bet on the best in human nature. It dares to imagine a society of “infinite diversity in infinite combinations,” free of war, hate, poverty, disease, and repression, and dedicated to the spirit of scientific inquiry and respect for all life, whether carbon or silicon-based, green-skinned or blue. But make no mistake: Gene Roddenberry wasn’t some starry-eyed dreamer. He was a decorated Army bomber pilot in the Pacific Theater. He had seen first-hand the grim consequences of the worst of human nature. And his vision of the future wasn’t just a promise of hope. It was also a warning. In a fraught, frightening time of intolerance and violence, Star Trek said: Look! We made it! But just barely. First, we had to put all those ancient scourges behind us. It said that what makes us glorious as a species, and gives us hope for the future and the galaxy is inextricably linked to what makes us dangerous to each other, to this one world we presently inhabit, and to ourselves. That dual message—of hope and of warning—isn’t just a pretty dream but a call to action, to think about who we are in a different way. Please don’t take our word for it. Take Gene’s: “Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.” With enduring hope that his vision of the future is possible, for our children, their children, and every future cadet in Starfleet Academy: Live Long and Prosper." Did Skydance Paramount make the right decision in scrapping this show?

@Dan_Leckie There is not much interest in a teen drama flavored Star Trek. It's not attracting old school trekkies or todays young people, who don't watch much tv tbh... Sometimes there just isn't an audience for someone's bright idea.

If we'd had this one-and-done approach to #StarTrek years ago, the show would have begun & ended with "The Cage". Even if TOS was made, there'd be no films after TMP, nor TNG, DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise after their 1st seasons. A new Star Trek show needs time to grow!
