MODERATORS
Wasn't exactly my favorite in season 1. Was kinda excited to see where season 2 went but I'm not really too upset.
What I'm hoping this does is clear the way for a Legacy spinoff Matalas teased with the Picard finale
That didn’t work for the fans who cheered when TAS got canceled in the early 70s.
Hoping the cancellation of one Trek show will get you the one you personally want is never great thing for the health of the franchise.
Nah. Right now they need to cull the weak shows so the strong can survive. Not saying it's great what they're doing, but Prodigy and Discovery are definitely the weak shows of the current gen. Focus the franchise on what works, and allow room for good ideas to flourish instead of strangling them in the cradle because a lesser show is hogging resources.
Paramount is in a tough spot financially and if they need to cancel the underperformers so good Trek can survive, I'm ok.
Also, just saying, if TAS wasn't cancelled we might not have gotten TNG. Not sure your example is working in your favor.
The same reasoning with TAS also applies to Phase II and we might not have got TNG had Paramount not decided to turn it into TMP.
Just goes to show tv development is a strange base. One failure leads to another's success
