Kurtzman is a name of German origin meaning "short man", and his take on NuTrek defintely fell short of expectations… gives new meaning to the German saying "Der Name ist Programm". Is Kurtzman Trek canon? Well, for me, "Star Trek Continues" and the Axanar films are canon, so I can respect it when people declare Kurtzman Trek apocryphal. I'm expecting a Trek drought, so over the months I've been filling my Jellyfin server with everything Trek, and arranging it into a chronological playlist, so I have about 755 hours worth of Trek to watch during the coming drought… step by step, from the first contact excerpt and "Broken Bow" to "Calypso" in the 43rd century. Except for two short excerpts, JJ Abrams' films are not part of that playlist. But I've put Kurtzman's content in there: it's official, it takes place in the "prime" timeline, so yeah, I do accept its canonical status. The biggest problem, however, is that this playlist now ends with (shudder) Discovery seasons 3 to 5 and (big shudder!) the two seasons of Starfleet Academy. The playlist will always end on a really sour note, and the (rather charming) Trek short "Calypso" at the very end will not be able to alleviate that, so "thank you", Mr. Kurtzman. Go away now.
I am a big Star Trek fan, fan of the B4 Kurtzman Trek of course (pun intended :-) ), but I have to say, at the moment, I don't care if and when it comes back, I just don't trust them enough anymore to come with something I look forward to.
I wonder if they will ever get around to exploring the century from Zefram Cochrane's first FTL flight in 2063 and the establishment of the UFP in 2161. The Enterprise series era spans from 2151 to 2161, tracking humanity's first warp-5 deep space mission but what about the previous ~90 years?!
I have been enjoying a lot of AI sci-fi stories on YouTube lately and there's just so much more that Star Trek can and should be doing.
The bad man can't hurt us anymore.
