I popped back for two seconds to message a friend and jeeeesus people are just dumb.

I've come to a decision, and it's not one I'm taking lightly.

While I won't be deleting this account - I'm going elsewhere. I get unfathomably angry at the randos who seem so forgiving of Paramount over everything it's done to Trek - and will continue to do.

Your Trek isn't safe. I'm pretty sure Paramount just cursed all of Star Trek well into the future.

So I'm bowing out. If you know me on discord you'll be able to find me, but frankly - I'm Done-Zo.

I did more than a lot of people to save the show - hell, I got titled 'Captain' by the people who made it. We got it onto Netflix!

But also... yeah - any interest I had in Trek is basically gone. None. I'm not giving another moment of my life to this. Not sticking my neck out for another show or investing in some other garbage they try to pass off as Star Trek.

Don't say I didn't warn you all.

We also need to stop supporting Paramount completely. Anyone handing them money at this point is just supporting them.

Apparently it didn't do the global number that they were hoping for.

The news that S2 was listed as the “final season” speaks volumes.

I'd say start buying up the DVD/Blu-rays while they're available, or at least convince your local library to carry them.

My personal headcanon is that they're still out there, maybe exploring what's on the other side of the Borgnes wormhole.

Some people have bricks for brains.

You know what? I'm calling this out.

Nothing. I repeat, NOTHING in this article is official. Spreading doom, gloom, and depression isn't going to help the show.

Take this energy to @netflix and Paramount. There's still stuff we can do. As well as the fact that there have been

Zero official confirmation

Bye bye to the best of the modern Treks😞

Remember, financial support is still support.

If you - yes, you reading this, keep your Paramount subscription, and continue giving them your watch hours - you are supporting their abuse of the fanbase and creators.

They've laid down their cards, they will destroy more treks - it's just time we vote with our wallets.

Boycott Paramount.

[commandermeg]

Now is not the time to panic, but it is the time to send hate mail to Paramount.

Remember: giving money to corporations supports their decisions. Stop giving Paramount money.

I just want to take a moment to reflect on how Star Trek: Prodigy was screwed over at every stage of its release. Unlike the other series, it was actually supposed to be released on Nickelodeon as well as streaming; but I guess somehow that arrangement fell through, because it didn't air on Nickelodeon until months after it was released on Paramount+. And when I say "released," I mean, "they dribbled out the first four episodes with little to know fanfare, then went on hiatus for several months", interchanging its release schedule with Star Trek Then they dribbled out the next six episodes and went on indefinite hiatus again, before releasing the next ten episodes ten months later with little advertising. Then, while the second season was already well into development, Paramount+ randomly announced that they were cancelling it and pulling it off of the service, and off of Nickelodeon, without giving any reasons why. Fans spent months begging for a new distributor, and then when they finally got one with Netflix...they just sat on it for months at a time, re-released the first season with little to no advertising and dumped the entire second season of 20 episodes all in one go six months later, again with very little advertising. And then, Netflix sat on it for ten months, announced that they weren't renewing it, and also pulling it off of their platform again. Also, it accidentally got released in full on a streamer in France months earlier with no advertising because Paramount apparently couldn't be arsed to keep track of who they had licensed it to; and it still can't be streamed legally anywhere in Canada for the same reason. Also, there was supposed to be a line of action figures, but Paramount and/or Playmates somehow managed to bollocks that up, too.

Anyways. I hope that, someday, people actually manage to watch this series, because it's really bloody good. Like, I think that the second season in particular is the best season of Star Trek to air this century; but I can't talk about it with anyone, because it's been really, really difficult to find it if you're not an obsessive fan like me.
