cross-posted from: https://startrek.website/post/37577379 [https://startrek.website/post/37577379] > The first change.org [http://change.org] petition to Renew “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” for a third season hit 30,000 signatures today, and is over 31,000 at the time of this post. > > The one at the post link is the one launched from the UK with the regrettable, unofficial (likely AI) image. But it was up first and has been getting momentum. > > There’s another one Renew Star Trek Starfleet Academy for a full season three [https://www.change.org/p/renew-star-trek-starfleet-academy-for-a-full-season-3], with the official key art poster that is about to break 5,000 signatures. > > Between these two, Starfleet Academy now has more signatures than did Prodigy when Netflix picked up its second season. > > Clearly this is causing consternation among some of those who have opposed the show from the outset. There are now opposing petitions Urge Paramount to shelve Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season two; Keep the Academy series permanently cancelled; and similar. None of these has significant traction.

"It's gone baby... it's all gone"| Sigh .....‘Project Hail Mary’ Author Andy Weir Says Paramount Rejected His ‘Star Trek’ Pitch: Their “Shows Are Sh**” - Star Trek Website

cross-posted from: https://startrek.website/post/37449530 [https://startrek.website/post/37449530] > The sigh from me is wondering why Andy Weir felt it necessary to use a platform like ‘criticaldrinker’ to go out of his way to trash recent Star Trek. > > “They didn’t accept my pitch so fuck em,” doesn’t really sell me on putting my dollars and eyeballs towards the success of his movie — no matter a great performance by Ryan Gosling or great production values. > > Rather tells me why all Weir’s heros are lone-guy-saves-all-on-his-own tropes. > > Quoting Weir in the interview: > > >Later, Marsden brought up the divisive Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which Paramount+ recently confirmed will end after its already-shot second season. > > >“I think we can probably safely never talk about it again,” Marsden quipped.  > > > “It’s gone baby!” Weir cheerfully agreed. “It’s all gone.”  > > >Marsden said his advice to Paramount is to de-canonize everything Star Trek from Enterprise onward. > > >“Okay, you’re a little more severe than I am,” Weir said. “I’ll give you my opinion and I’m just a consumer. I like Strange New Worlds. I think it’s pretty good. I didn’t hate Enterprise. I thought it was kind of weird. Lower Decks I thought was entertaining and fun. All the others, they can go. And here’s another thing: I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to [executive producer Alex Kurtzman]. I don’t like a lot of the new Trek. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy. But they didn’t accept my pitch so, you know, fuck ’em.” > >
