Analysis of the current state of the Star Trek franchise, including the end of the Alex Kurtzman era, a new film on the way, and author Andy Weir's revealed rejection of his Star Trek show pitch by Kurtzman and Paramount. The article also explores fan opinions and broader discussions surrounding the franchise's direction.

‘s future remains somewhat without shape. We know Paramount has vowed to prioritize the franchise, and that there’s a brand new movie on the way, but aside from wrapping up a few seasons for already canceled shows, there are no, it feels a lot like the Alex Kurtzman era of Trek is over.

When the dust settles, the era might be more defined by discourse around the shows than the shows themselves. And a new update on a lost project has kicked off even more.– which will rank alongside the best sci-fis of the decade when it ends – author Andy Weir has just revealed incredibly frustrating news. He spoke on a podcast alongside the movie’s release and revealed that he had pitched a Star Trek show to Kurtzman and Paramount, and had been rejected:show to Paramount, and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to . I don’t like a lot of the new. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are sh*t. He is a nice guy. But they didn’t accept my pitch so, you know, f*ck ’em.”Weir does seem to hold something of a grudge, as the quote above reveals, and a lot of the fandom conversation around his comments echo that sentiment. And that’s particularly interesting to consider when you realize his “those shows are sh*t” comments don’t align with his own praise of several Kurtzman-erathen? Weird is a fan, clearly, and his approach to making science accessible is absolutely something that could shepherd in a new era ofsays “Unless he can delegate writing a human woman to another writer, pass.” And another actually questions whether his style would suitBoth comments reflect wider discussions – a lot of which is focused on the perceived failure of Artemis to hit the heights ofAnd it’s important to consider these voices in the discussion, but I can’t help but worry that Star Trek failed its fans by not at least advancing the pitch to a pilot.
