I would agree, '09 was alright. I enjoyed it. It is a fanfic. 'I'm gonna do MY thing with these characters." I haven't seen any Trek made since, official first-party fanfics signal to me the end of a franchise. My understanding of the franchise since has been:

  • Into Darkness: Attempt to redo Wrath of Kahn because Nemesis worked so well.
  • A third Chris Pine TOS era movie: I think they made one?
  • Discovery: What if Star Trek, but the crew are all immature adolescents who don't deal with a single goddamn thing like mature adults?
  • Below Decks: What if Star Trek, but it's Rick and Morty?
  • Picard: What if geriatrics?

Have I missed anything?

My favourite of the trilogy. Which is to say, I didn't turn it off.
