I agree. I’m entirely speculating. But I am not hopeful, I’m just not. I’m sorry.
Would you react the exact same way if another Trek show was made for the middle aged, white, straight audience?
If it were sold by Paramount as “Middle Aged Star Trek” or “White Star Trek” or “Cis Star Trek” or whatever, yes. I have, aside from Prodigy, never heard Paramount, Vicacom, whatever, sell a Star Trek show as ‘we’re designing this show around this group of people.’
