I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that and rolled my eyes, this feels like a paid puff piece by someone who is trying to save their job.

"Under Alex Kurtzman’s watchful eye, the Star Trek franchise has balanced this incredibly well so far."

No....No it has not.

[Edit: Looked at the author's history and low and behold she wrote a puff piece about TLJ, Rian Johnson, and how great it was for the franchise]

Discovery has it's fans but only caused canon problems and is Star Trek at it's absolute worst so much so they had to force so far into the future it couldn't damage anything.

(I would argue Discovery would have never survived if it's first 2 seasons weren't paid for by Netflix overpaying for international distrubution rights)

Lower Decks while has it's moments is just "remember this?"

Picard Season 1 and 2 were absolute garbage, 2 is an affront to your intelligence.

SNW was finally good but the only Star Trek show that actually tried to be Star Trek.

Picard Season 3 has been good, but is held back by the baggage Kurtzman has caused.

you have two good seasons of Star Trek agains 6 bad ones and animated series that is meant to be a joke.

Not sure I want a sequel. I would just prefer to see Cruise play more villains. This movie was great, he still had all the Cruise charm, but holy fuck was scary as shit in this movie.
