    Star Trek 2009 ended the franchise for me. At the end of Trek '09, I thought to myself Welp, it’s been a good run, but they’re making Hollywood budget fanfics now. The actual show is done.

        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?
