God can everyone shut up about CBS taking advantage of Trekkies… literally EVERY piece of media you have ever consumed was just for profit. The people directly involved often care about it very much, but when you go all the way up to the top it's gonna be the same story every time. Of COURSE they're only doing it for a subscriber boost. Did you think the CEO of anything cares about this shit?? We're in a capitalist hellscape, all showrunners can do is take advantage of those opportunities

y'all: the klingons are shit, the uniforms are shit, the themes are shit, the pacing is shit, I can make all these judgements from a two minute trailer

me, enjoying my life: can't wait :^)

watching tos after disco is wild because you get to journey to babel and you KNOW that michael burnham was almost exactly 50 years away from being written and yet. you can feel her absence.
