Star Trek: Starfleet Academy actor Robert Picardo has a new explanation for why the show was cancelled, and it is the fourth different one he has offered since March.
All of his reasons are the same reasons. Musk, lack of studio support, these are all part of the current political moment. It’s not a gotcha, it’s the same force in action to him.
Picardo is one of many actors who’s deeply anti-conservative. It’s been this way in that subculture forever. John de Lancie said he wanted to basically eliminate organized religion from society, and this was back in maybe 2005.
The contradiction of their said saying they represent tolerance and open-mindedness is an ancient observation at this point. Don’t bother giving him the attention. Star Trek is dead. Let it die.
I have always found it to be detrimental to any given art form for a participant of said content to atribute commercial failure publicly towards anything but the media's own disadvantages. I believe that, in some cases, if they were to not engage publicly and course correct on the mishaps of said art form, the creatives would have a fighting chance. As soon as these participants commence their usual "blame games", in my opinion, they lost any advantage they could have otherwise utilize in favor of their works. One example I can give would be the "Highlander" tv series back in the 90's, where the first season wasn't completely well received. However, during the second season, the creatives pushed the boundaries of their previous writing endeavors and conquered their time slot for the remaining 5 seasons, even spanning into a film called "Endgame". That would be my advise for the producers and creatives behind the multiple sinking ships that are streaming shows based on legacy franchises. In conclusion, I know, at the end of the day, these deconstructions are made on purpose regardless of the critical output made by either critics or fans of said content. As for me and my wife, we stay far away from supporting these kinds of media.
Disclaimer: I haven’t watched it, or indeed any of the Star Trek spinoffs.
That said: viewers of all these shows want great science fiction stories. They don’t care about diversity, and in fact resent it when a character has some DEI characteristic for no discernible reason.
It’s much simpler than that. It’s just not a good product.
Talented guy who should probably keep quiet.
"My feeling is, get over yourself!”
Actually, we got over you. Pretty damned quickly, too.
Oh Robert. We all know the truth.
Yeah ... it can't be the show.

Someone get this man a mirror! ;)
