I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well.

But I was curious what Lemmy thought. Maybe im in denial too but I'm curious if you guys think the worry is warranted.

SNW and Lower Deck are fucking fantastic. SNW is a true to form traditional Trek show and Lower Decks is funny and diverse enough for those who feel Trek takes itself to seriously.

If Paramount runs afoul of finances I am sure someone will buy the IP rights to at least these. TBH, Strange New Worlds needs to be available on TV and streaming.

I don't want to see SNW on TV. I don't think they'll have to change the content directly, but they'd have to fit to the 42-odd minute runtime. We've had several episodes near and over an hour long. It's very refreshing to see them making episodes as long as they need to be to tell the story.
