What happens when all the dinosaurs have mated?
Chicken's done?
I'm just hoping that this doesnt mean SNW will be cancelled like some of the other shows
... how do you have hope for stuff like this at this point.
I like SNW, so I hope its not cancelled.
These mergers can take a long time to complete, so we're probably safe for a while.
I wouldn't count on any serious going longer than five seasons under the old ownership, anyway...
Yeah I guess they took TOS's "five year mission" statement a little too literally
Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison, and being that, it's impossible for him to run out of money.
I hope he's a Trekkie.
They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.
I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn't
If your concerns are on the creative side of things, I don't think that's really what they do - their expertise seems to be getting things made.
Into Darkness
oh no!
Beyond
oh yes!
I’m not sure what to think there.
I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.
They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.
I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.
I don't hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but... Could be worse.
