The beginning of the end, in my opinion, was when CBS obtained the TV rights. Oh yeah, it started off well enough with the "enhanced Original Series" DVD's & Blurays, but when they started making new Trek content is when it began to decline.
I blame Kurtzman. "Discovery" was a canon-shattering shit storm, "Picard" was a pretentious jab at fans.
Why, oh why, must there be a SJW element to everything nowadays? Kurtzman doesn't give two shits about "Trek", he's gonna do things his way and to Hell with what the fans want!
Fans don't like to be preached at. We want the Roddenberry vision and not a "Trek" full of unlikable characters and shock value cursing.
"Picard" is the worst about this. They turned an honorable character of virtue & truth into a anti-Federation android for God's sake!
Canon be damned!
Trek is withering on the vine as we sit and watch.
Nerdrotic & Doomcock on YouTube are spot on in their observations of the decline of the franchise.
CBS doesn't care about what the fans truly want to see. They're pandering to the SJW & PC crowd.
"Get woke, go broke".
Just like "Doctor Who", "Star Wars" and "Batwoman"...
Don't even get me started on "Doctor Who" - I guess all white males are evil or inanely stupid.
"Batwoman" was even worse!
Fans are leaving in droves and I don't think CBS cares.
Ever see Trek merchandise in Wal Marts? Nope. Because nobody wants the licenses except for AMT/Round 2 Models and MEGO action figures!
The demand for Trek merch peaked in the 90's with Playmates Toys, who released hundreds of figures, playsets, starships, props, etc.
Those days are long gone. Nobody wants products of the new Trek series, they want new products of Classic Trek or TNG!
Why? Because they were better!
Rant over.
