What is your evidence that Trek is doomed?
Also, if you don't like the shows currently being produced, is it really that sad?
You do understand the differences between modern television making and 25 years ago, correct?
If modern era Trek was really so unsustainable, would they be going into their ninth year of it?
Every Kurtzman Trek product has operated at a loss so far, and it's not like they're making that up on merch... there's a rumor out there that Les Moonves signed an insane contract with Kurtzman out of spite for being metooed on his way out where they need to pay a flat $250mil to Kurtzman to STOP making these... doesn't seem like an insane theory when you have literally $2 billion spent on Star Trek content with a viewership under a million people.
You’re going to need to back those claims up with some actual evidence beyond whiney youtube conspiracy nonsense
