I watched a few of Paramount’s investor presentations and “insider” articles chasing something for another fandom and… was horrified, heh. They have 3 uncoordinated co-CEOs who came offas unknowledgeable robots, whos' presentations aged like cheap milk. They have a volatile owner who supposedly stirred up buyout drama over, among other things, a family heirloom. They're a flaming mess, even by corporate standards.
And I say this not to spite them; I want Paramount to hold together for the sake of the ST/Avatar franchises.
I wish we could collectively buy Star Trek.
A public cooperative trust or something.
Me too.
Among “big” IPs, it feels relatively likely to end up in more independent hands, though.
Picture Paramount finally sinking and IP getting sold off. If no one wants them in a bundle, SpongeBob, TMNT, Mission: Impossible, Top Gun (which is all they talk about in presentations) will be top dollar and gobbled up. Their back catalog will languish, but it feels like ST is in the sweet spot for some smaller publisher/producer to pick up. Or maybe Sony, whom already expressed interest in a buyout offer?
Seth MacFarlane tried to coax NBC Universal to buy Star Trek a few years ago.
Imagine that timeline.
We could, we only need $11 from each Star Trek fan
They did him so dirty I’m still mad to be honest
Captain Dipshit was the best thing out of PIC (and Captain Rios perhaps)
After Captain Seven. Okay almost tie.
Weird, it never left jellyfin.
This isn't concerning streaming availability, but rather poor executive decision-making that deprived us of potential glory!
Edit: the discommendation gif is directed at Paramount, not you
Apparently Todd Stashwick couldn't resist sitting in the Enterprise D's captain chair. I wouldn't have been able to resist, either.
