So with the unfortunate word of Starfleet Academy's cancellation, Star Trek as a franchise is essentially over. This news is unwelcome, but not unexpected. Starfleet Academy received a pick up for two seasons from the previous owners of Paramount. When the Ellison's took over, it was a show they inherited. I have a friend who works in the industry and he told me flat out a year ago that Academy was already dead and would not get a third season. It was internally cancelled shortly after the Skydance merger was completed. The Ellisons are MAGA. They has Trump lapdogs who have already cancelled Stephen Colbert and destroyed CBS News to please their master. I was told they did not like Star Trek's focus on diversity. In a word: They hate everything Star Trek stands for.
The Ellisons plan to relaunch Star Trek as an action/adventure franchise with no social commentary at all. In other words, it won't REALLY be Star Trek. It'll be a generic Sci-Fi show wearing a Star Trek mask.
So Star Trek as it has existed for 60 years is now dead (aside from the already shot three seasons that havent aired yet. Seasons 4 and 5 of Strange New Worlds and Season 2 of Academy)
SO the good news is this: Strange New Worlds is a great series and Starfleet Academy is even better still. If real Star Trek has to end, at least it's going out on a high note.
And on the bright side, once the Ellisons are gone, maybe the next owners of Paramount will bring Star Trek back.
We'll see.

Unfortunately, its been over for a while. But they keep trying push a narrative with stupid and woke story lines.
They need to let it go dormant for 10 years and then try to reboot it again with a movie.

woke story lines.
So Star Trek stories is what you're saying.
Unfortunately, its been over for a while.
For the past decade, it's been thriving. Discovery, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Starfleet Academy… We've had more truly great Star Trek than any other period of time.

Woke and DEI story lines are why no one watches Star Trek anymore.
Star Trek stories without woke or DEI aren't Star Trek.
People who complain about "woke" and "DEI" were never Star Trek fans to begin with

I have watched all the ST series and the only ones that are woke are the new ones after 2020. I dont remember Picard getting cucked by Alpha females. lol
so what you’re saying is that older Star Trek shows went over your head.
They were woke too. You apparently just didn’t get it.
You were never actually a fan.

Nice try Shaquatta. lol
Homo No Homo, ask how Stonekeeper banned me.
Not sure what any of that means. Those are words, and some homophobia (further proving you never were a Star Trek fan)
That was fairly obvious, though.
