Not much to chew on here but the fact that he is optimistic is a good sign for me (I will take any hope I can get).

I will say that everyone I’ve interacted with in the — I’ll call it the new Paramount — understands what Star Trek is in the sense that they don’t want to mess it up. They understand how important it is. This isn’t just a cash cow to them. This isn’t something where they just need to put laser guns and a spaceship together and get it out there. They understand that this is something special, and so they’re working very hard to make sure that what they do next lives up to that.

I know that everyone is wary of David Ellison having control of Paramount IPs because he's a son to a Trump supporter, but we need to remember that money talks more than trying to fling propaganda. Don't forget that David has also donated to leftist polticitians anyway. Trek viewers range from socially progressive to moderates. If they started making trek a conservative propaganda machine, it would alienate viewers and their investments would lose them money. And we know how much investors hate losing money. Plus the new movie won't be out until after Trump is out of office. Nothing to apease, just to make money.

I don’t expect it to swing dramatically conservative; just to stay safely middle-of-the-road and say very little. But I do really hope to be proven wrong.

Conservative Trek? You mean the Terran Empire?

Sounds about right.
