Good thing these networks profits don’t rely on public opinion or anything. It would be a shame if people made a point to go out of their way to shit on “skydance” (which does kinda sound like a name a simpleton came up with to explain changes in the weather) at every opportunity.
Between dissent that doesn’t rely on corporate sponsorship and people not bothering to watch CBS anymore anyway (bc why would you? I don’t even mean that as joke. Literally what is left at CBS?) it could make some impact. I guess we’ll see.
Getting people to boycott all of the things formerly owned by paramount is tougher bc they own so much shit, but they’ve also been going downhill for a while.
Agreed, and actually I’m fine with some ideas not being everyone’s favorite. As the Vulcan philosophy says, infinite diversity in infinite combinations (IDIC).
What I was mainly referring to was the VERY long standing attitude from Paramount to viciously come after anyone who does anything remotely resembling Star Trek assets. Non-profit fan based stuff included. If they aren’t getting a cut, then you WILL NOT do it. Learned that in the 80s, wondering why programs made n BASIC were obviously modeled off of Star Trek stuff, but used other names for everything.

lots of long time Star Trek fans’ eyes twitch
Indeed.
Star Trek is such a mixed bag. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds are fantastic.
