    That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The owners care more about the news type aspects of these purchases, not the entertainment side.

    Look at all the vocal MAGA Trek “fans” that seem to completely ignore the history of the franchise when trying to say it’s gone Woke and similar shit. Just because the owners are fascists that doesn’t mean the showrunners will be forced to avoid tackling topics indirectly. That’s what Trek has always done, sometimes less indirectly than others.

      Shatner and Nichols intentionally butchered every take that didn’t involve them kissing and made television history doing so.

      I hope that moving forward Trek keeps that same spirit no matter how oppressive the new corporate regime may be.
