I am upset they are cancelling Discovery, it had flaws but it is an awesome show with some amazing moments and a very diverse cast.
@porthos @billmason Well DIS started a ST revival. Maybe without DIS PIC, LD and finally SNW wouldn't exist. The biggest problem DIS had IMHO, was the weird licensing situation, when DIS was developed. Basically the same Problem the Kelvin-Timeline movies had. It should look like star trek, but not too similar. Because this, DIS felt a little bite alien towards old ST fans. The biggest issue DIS had, is bad story writing aka character development. They were all crushed by the messias Burnham.
@deafmutex @porthos @startrek Discovery did not have a licensing issue. It was under the auspices of CBS Studios, which had all the rights to all television Star Trek properties at that point.
@billmason @porthos @startrek I don't think that CBS had all the rights to all ST properties. Today CBS, Viacom and Paramount are united again, but not before end of 2019. For example: https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-discoverys-version-of-the-enterprise-had-to-1825276401
@deafmutex @porthos @startrek Yes, the right to the first 10 movies at that point belonged to Viacom, who made them under license from CBS. But that's neither here or there to what Discovery was doing.
Also, the story that the Enterprise was changed in Discovery because of rights/legal issues has been debunked. https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-trek-discovery-enterprise-design-legal/
