I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well.
But I was curious what Lemmy thought. Maybe im in denial too but I’m curious if you guys think the worry is warranted.
Disney will buy them and make crossover shows with Star Wars.
And Doctor Who
Now that’s wibbly-wobbly!
Disney don’t own the Dr Who IP, the BBC still do, Disney just own the worldwide broadcast rights on D+ outside the UK now.
Wouldn’t most Trek ships and tech be ripped apart with the level of weapon tech in the SW universe?
Both franchises are apt to hand-wave science, so who knows? How does a warp drive compare to a hyperdrive? Blasters to phasers? Thermo detonators to photon torpedoes? Star Wars doesn’t seem to have matter/energy manipulation like replicators and transporters, though, so Trek has an edge there.
