Rebooting Star Trek TOS???

The problem is Gen Z doesn't give a wooden nickel about Star Trek. The core fanbase (read: old people) are the only ones who don't think ST is lame.
We're the only ones willing to give them any money and they don't like us one bit. That's kind of a recipe for financial disaster.
 
The issue is the “Who” that would be rebooting TOS…

If it’s Kurtzman and co…it’s called being rightfully concerned about franchise dilution and brand damage. The track record is clear.

Now…someone like Ronald Moore rebooting TOS? I would absolutely be excited for that.

Moore already "rebooted" a version of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and called it Babylon 5. It was great, and somehow he did it concurrently with the actual show!

You answered your own question. They wouldn't know creativity if it bit them in the ass.
There was a creative idea, but they bit themselves in the ass. It was Axanar.
Too bad. That would have been a fun universe to explore
 
Because they DON'T Have any creativity. They relay on the small but VERY vocal group of supporters who say how great this rubbish is to continue.
And then, the show fails because they don't actually have an active audience, just idiots with big mouths that don't actually watch.

AI Overview

The "Skydance effect" in Star Trek refers to the potential impact of the Skydance Media and Paramount Pictures merger on the future direction of the franchise. With Skydance now holding significant influence, there's speculation about potential changes in leadership, creative direction, and even the types of stories being told. This is particularly relevant as Alex Kurtzman's deal with Paramount is set to expire in 2026, potentially leading to a new team taking over the Star Trek universe, according to Trek Central.



Here's a more detailed breakdown:


  • Merger Impact:
    The merger of Skydance and Paramount creates a new power dynamic in Hollywood, and this includes the Star Trek franchise.
  • Potential Leadership Changes:
    Skydance might opt for a fresh perspective on Star Trek, potentially leading to the replacement of Kurtzman's Secret Hideout with a new creative team.
  • Creative Direction:
    With a new team, the direction of Star Trek could shift, potentially exploring new storylines, characters, or even a different overall tone.
  • Kurtzman's Role:
    While Kurtzman's deal is expiring, it's not yet clear if he will be replaced or if his team will continue to oversee the franchise.
  • Fandom Speculation:
    The Star Trek fandom is actively discussing the potential changes and what they might mean for the future of the franchise, says Trek Central.
