Alex Kurtzman Inks Mega New Overall Deal With CBS Studios
Alex Kurtzman, the top producer on CBS Studios’ roster and architect of the studio’s Star Trek universe, has closed a massive new nine-figure overall deal there for his Secret Hideout banner. No financial terms are being disclosed but I hear the pact is in the $150 million range, putting...

Kurtzman said dystopian themes aren't going to be in Strange New Worlds.
If he bent the knee and agreed to reverse all current trends (include the trannys, but cut the dark future shit) then maybe CBS agreed to continue working with him.
At least 2 of his new shows were supposed to lighten up on dystopian themes and deliver a more classic trek experience.
We just have to wait and see if he can deliver. Wait for Picard S2, and if the dystopian themes are watered down, and Q lightens the mood, and Strange New Worlds drops and it's classic era trek and hits it out the park with the tone-- then we let him breathe for a minute.
Patrick Stewart wants Picard to be intensely dystopian... so don't expect much there. But let him get Strange New Worlds out, then you can parse this re-signing.
The future tone of Star Trek is riding on Strange New Worlds. Let him hit one more lick before tuning out for infinity.

you come from the perspective that cbs is unhappy with Trek so has imposed new rules to "make it a success" because you don't like the current run of Star Trek. There is absolutely ZERO indication to assume that is true.
I also despise the current runs of Discovery, Picard, etc. However, its a bad assumption to make what you dislike means everyone else dislikes it.
Its far easier to just assume CBS is very happy with how Star Trek currently performs, especially considering they keep adding NEW shows and expanding his production. Its silly to assume they told him "ok, we hate what you are doing, but if you pinky swear to change, we will give you $150m and ask you to make us a dozen new shows". Its much easier to just assume they are extremely happy with how he is doing and have given him a ton of money and lots and lots of power to do whatever the fuck he wants.
The same holds true for Star Wars.
Once you realize that you realize you and your opinions no longer matter to anyone in Hollywood. spoiler alert, they never really did. All those youtubers you and Chuck watch are just feeding you lies to keep you in a bubble of imagining anyone in power gives a fuck about you. Join us brother in the truth, that no one cares about you, and save yourself 10 hours of youtube watching a week so you can watch weird motherfuckers like asmongold on twitch instead!

Lol. Sad. But somewhat predictable. Kurtzman does make money for the studio and has a history of some successes (outside of Trek). The studios / Netflixs of the world are in a bidding war for content creators / producers. Kurtzman had leverage and he played it. Goodbye Trek.

i dont watch star trek and now not even star wars anymore. until they announce they re-signed KK, i will continue to have some hope they can right their ship. i watch videos about their failures for the lulz. all these companies keep digging themselves deeper. they dont care about money anymore, its all about the ten weirdoes on twitter who hold these companies hostage. maybe they are brainwashing the masses of millenials and Gen-zees into thinking this is quality content. i know what ST and SW are supposed to be and they will never get my money again.

What is there to like about dystopian themes? And the RT audience score speaks for itself.
Dystopian themes are the single biggest complaint for the last several years regarding the brand.
It's a solid assumption-- people don't like it.

That said, I haven't seen a single minute of Picard S1 outside of the RLM reviews. Although I am reconsidering it in honor of lurkingdirk.
I'm giving Picard S2 a chance for the reason De Lancie's arc should lighten the overall tone of the show, making it more palatable.

But the same writers from season 1 who have never seen one episode of Star Trek are still there right?

De Lancie is opinionated enough to speak up if something doesn't work. I don't believe he's going to let Stewart's agenda destroy the legacy of the Q character.
I fully expect a homage, not a deconstruction. Everything in the press so far indicates it'll be a homage to Picard's prior relationship with Q.
