He had a tremendous amount of leverage with the last one. Chances are someone at Paramount wondered if that was such a good thing. The loss of Abrams was more significant. He was a trusted guiding voice who delivered even when fans questioned the results. Paramount keeps getting gun-shy because they keep choosing the creators without anyone being committed. Even Tarantino has continuously waffled, in a seemingly unrelated project. The one thing Disney has that no one else does is the ability to make firm decisions, even when they're changing their mind. They simply switch tracks. With Paramount, with every other studio, commitments mean nothing.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479940362350565057.post-36450359992672112612020-03-10T18:07:33.556-07:002020-03-10T18:07:33.556-07:00Say goodbye to Star Trek into boredom which by all...Say goodbye to Star Trek into boredom which by all alcs Simon Pegg attributes the lack of interest in Star Trek movies.

The first ST Picard episode was amazing with so much captivating plot and life being injected back into the franchise with such likeable characters - yes there is a lot of infodump but like Tony says this is news worth assimilating. The shows got fascinating news and rich story arc in both episodes, I blogged about the Mars/ synthetic going bezerk element mostly. I can't help but get drawn in and carried away by the characters.
