      kurtzman was largely a disaster for the franchise, and the execs that pushed thier beliefs. ellison likely wouldnt have allowed it to be showrunned in a certain way anyways. someone mentioned nutrek .

      Sadness is definitely why I’m feeling too.

      Roddenberry had a vision of an international show in TOS, and his creation of an ethnically French captain for TNG.

      Unfortunately, the franchise owners have never appreciated that and their focus on marketing first to the US market has kept the show and the movies from the global success they should have had.

      With the Ellisons in charge, the franchise is likely to be all the more focused on the US without even the double-edged (often alienating) transparent American exceptionalism that has dogged the franchise.

      I don’t want to give false hope, because I really don’t think it’s going to happen, but “dismantled” doesn’t necessarily have to mean “destroyed.”

      It’d be nice if they kept some of the larger pieces, if only to put on display or something.

        Mostly it means sets broken up and put on a bonfire on the backlot. They might keep the bridge set for exhibition purposes.
