These are just the ones that I've seen - if you happen across any others, feel free to share them.
So, putting aside your statements of quality (some of which I agree with and some of which do not, but it's all subjective so whatever), I personally wouldn't hold "audience size" or whether a series was cancelled against him, unless you think the shows weren't any good. Seems like IDIC to me.
He's not my favourite writer by any means, but I'm in almost total agreement with his overall approach to handling the property.
He wants each series to be unique, hires the showrunners, and seems to let them do their own thing. I think it's a good approach, even though a couple of the projects fell short of their potential (y'know, in my opinion).
And he seems to work well with the suits, which is probably a good thing overall?
There’s a newer TrekMovie piece
Oh, thanks for this - I think I'll share the original!
Edit: Never mind, it's paywalled. I guess I'll share the trekmovie version 🙄
"Hint" was probably a poor choice of words, when I really meant that a renewal hasn't been announced.
What's wrong with comedies?
Star Trek has a long history of comedy episodes, and arguably even a film, depending on how you feel about "The Voyage Home".
Comedy and morality certainly aren't mutually exclusive.
On top of that, the Ellison regime didn't change the personnel directly in charge of CBS Studios (though they did change the people in charge of Paramount+, which is also relevant).
There's also the lingering question of Kurtzman himself. He signed a five-year extension...five years ago. Not a peep regarding a renewal.
Time travel's been outlawed by the Temporal Accords, so I hope not - someone could be in a lot of trouble.
I would imagine people are more uncomfortable with the "standing and chanting" aspect - you definitely can't argue that those aren't Starfleet values with a straight face.

Yeah, good call - I think it should be self-evident that links to the online hate machine are not allowed here. We all know the usual suspects, and they're generally not hard to spot.
