He disrespected two of the largest fandoms in the world. It's refreshing to see some actual consequences for producing so much crap, even if that's not directly why he downsized.

disrespected

How about absolutely destroyed? I was amongst the biggest star trek fans you can imagine. I would rewatch multiple episodes per week at least, I have thousands of dollars in memorabilia, models, books, posters, you name it. Show me a scene and I'll tell you the episode, what's it about, who acted in it, etc.

After all the nu trek shit I just stopped watching nu trek. Them I made the huge mistake of watch ST Picard which absolutely ruined Picard for me as a character, as did it ruin seven of nine, then We, and then the entire TNG cast.

I don't watch star trek anymore, for years already. I still have some of the models, I have most of my ST stuff in a big box somewhere I never look. Kurtzman just destroyed the star trek universe for me, and I don't think I'll return anymore and that makes me sad.

This is me and Star Wars. I was the biggest SW dork in the state, before it was acceptable to like SW. The second i heard that Disney had acquired Lucas Film, i knew it was over.

The only new Disney SW I've actually seen is Rogue One, and that's only because my friends pulled a bait and switch on me. Thought we were going bowling, got dragged to the movies instead. And it totally retconed Leia. 🤮
