"Star Trek Studios" is probably not a bad idea, that way you have a team that's in charge of them and owns the IP, and if someone else buys them, fine, but production of Star Trek remains stable. Hopefully that would be for both streaming and movies and TV. 🙂

    We have six francizes with confused IP and resulting legal messes. Star trek is split between two or three teams two movie/ TV and one older game IP. Star Wars is in an out right state of civil war. Star Gate is split between two companies that will not work together. They also broke Doctor Who and now the best Dr Who stuff comes from fans outside the BBC. Amazon somehow figured out how to wreck lord of the Rings.
    The Pokémon Verses Palworld mess is because the former trained up hundreds of artists two years ago but don't have a project for them since and can't legally do PC games so Pocket Pair, founded by a former junior employee, has snapped up the skilled artists and did the PC game everyone wants. (except Nintendo's handheld device manufacturers.)

    With the lack of studio space,, especially in LA, wouldn't be more profitable/advantageous for WB to spin off the studio space to a different division and lease/rent out the space to other productions? Sure, selling it off would significantly lower their debt, but I'm sure they could make move, even in the short run, by keeping it. Thoughts?
    As to a joint venture with Skydance/Allen, I don't think this would bode well for Allen. It is my understanding that CBS still holds the TV rights for ST and Paramount has only limited permission to produce TV of ST (am I wrong?). If the Skydance /Allen thing went through, Skydance, which is successful with movies is good to go, but Allen, who knows TV, would still have to do an agreement with CBS on the TV or outright buy the rights (big money would have to change hands) and he would be out the investment money with Skydance AND a huge chunk with CBS. It seems like a Lose/Lose situation to me

    I think having their own Star trek studio, is a good idea, if they can get rid of Klutzman and J.J. who really don't like trek nor have any real appreciation for what they have. However the idea of a dedicated studio and team for trek productions is merely wishful thinking, until Warner Bros. negotiates their way through the financial minefield of the stock holders to finalize the purchase.

    It was a mistake to put Star Trek behind a paywall. I have a business question. Phil Spencer CEO of Xbox just had a podcast. He said they have to grow or they have to lay people off. Why can't they have a business model that is status quo to keep what they have? Why must companies grow? Why can't a business survive on revenue alone? Is it because they are a publicly traded company? Why can't dividends be good enough? It sounds like a business model to cater to investors that want to buy low and sell high. I'm wildly guessing. How does this all work?

    If WB really buys Paramount and owns the Star Trek IP, I wonder what that will mean for the eventual possibility of a Babylon 5 Reboot? WB already owns Babylon 5, and they might see it as competing with Star Trek--as it did in the 90s--so they wouldn't want to produce Babylon 5 and Star Trek series at the same time. This would be an interesting topic for an @SciTrek video. Personally, I'd prefer to see a new Babylon 5 series with JMS at the helm over the poorly written Star Trek that has come out under Kutzman. Star Trek Deep Space Nine was the only Star Trek series that ever equaled the quality of writing on Babylon 5, IMHO. And they pulled a lot of their concepts from the Babylon 5 series bible that JMS distributed to studios before DS9 went into production.

    What a mess! I wonder what Jack Warner the founder of Warner Brothers would think of this. Apparently, this all started when Paramount had big dreams of money pouring in from its streaming services. Now it seems that another iconic name is about to disappear due to management ineptitude & the desire to take advantage of that. I am concerned about how this effects Star Trek but even more importantly the many people who will lose employment through no fault of their own. Those at the top will do Ok but as it is the case with this sort of upheaval those in the mid to lower ranks will be screwed. As if living in California isn't bad enough at the moment.

Lots of fans hate the new series like Picard and Discovery and won't watch them.

I suspect they will negotiate with each other to minimize their costs, and make a joint offer where each gets the part they want most.

    Paramount should acquire the Disney via Amazon/Sony, but only if the Harris brothers and national amusements could compromise on the Star Trek Marvel skydance studio then Willam Shatner could combine with the kurtzman alternate timelines of the esoteric order of Dagon and then bring in Khan as a side character for the show as well in the IP via Space 1999 with its assault on Star Wars Battlefront but No Secret Hideout Evar!!!

    I'm a day one fan of Star Trek, all of them. I got into streaming because cable prices got out of control. Then,.some, like Paramount, wanted to start charging to watch, it's just too much like cable, start low then jack the price too high (I still don't know how you pay them) until they intrude into other bills.
    I said I wouldn't pay Paramount a dime, but I'm waffling on that, I need my Star Trek.
    Sure, it's fiction, imperialistic, and ideal. You can't choose what you fall in love with, not really.

    The thing is that all this wouldn't be happening to these studios if they didn't go down the DEI Woke Road with both their hiring practices and production of product that nobody wanted to see. When studios make product that only they want to see, and not what their loyal fanbase want, then they're gonna bomb. And this goes for gaming companies as well. I mean i can just picture what goes on in these pitch meetings sometimes. It's like, "What total nonsensical woke bullshit can we put in this project that we like, but everyone else is gonna absolutely hate?" Now, not saying that that's what happened at Paramount, bht it sure seems like that's what's going on at Disney, and maybe even at Sony with their Madame Web fiasco. I have a feeling as to what's going on.. It's that ever since Covid, all the old timers retired and have left everything up to the woke Millennials and they've turned everything to shit. I mean what IP has had the most excitement since Covid? I would have to argue that Legendary's Monsterverse has had the greatest culture influence here in the last few years. If Godzilla x Kong does some good numbers, then i can see that franchise only getting stronger. There is literally enough classic material there from the Toho films to translate to this new Monsterverse for decades to come.

    To be 100% honest on this one Disney should buy out or Netflix because Netflix is good at making lots of series. Disney is two and Disney’s got the money as well. Come on they bought out Hulu or they merged with Hulu and Disney and a lot of Hulu isn’t always child friendly.

    These past few years Star Trek shows have really declined. I haven’t watched any Picard and the other shows that I know not their names. I was weened on TOS in the early to mid 1970’s so I truly believe Mr Roddenberry is rolling in his grave.

  • @jonsumner5899

    I think our best move would be to split the company. I mean I definitely see the advantage with Warner Brothers but as if you were the biggest thing I'm thinking is ouch talk about how expensive the service would be. This bundle would probably have a lot of good stuff on it but we probably would pay a lot too as frankly it would be worth. The thing is though if they split it up the it actually can be pretty good have a lot of good stuff things weren't necessarily be too expensive and this could have other advantages like if the company that owns The weather channel buys the CBS television network that means likely we might get more good stuff on local now at least we might see our local CBS stations have their newscast on local now. Which might not be necessarily the biggest reason for wanting them to purchase CBS but it is an advantage probably the biggest advantage I could see though is by having a smaller company on CBS hopefully they can concentrate on CBS instead of CBS being an afterthought

    I think if Paramount is sold there is a good chance the new owners could ignore the sunk cost in shows like Star Trek Discovery and move forward with a clean sheet as if they never happened. they would put a priority on having the IP make money.

    Star Trek is dead if Secret Hideout continues to make new Trek. It can be rehabilitated if they are stopped. Either way Paramount is done for and it’s partially a result of Secret Hideout. JJ’s career is largely over because of it.

    Bottom line is , if Paramount had made Trek series that fans and people actually wanted to see, they would have made money with them and even more off the merchandise. And then they would not be in trouble. So stupid. So avoidable and yet inevitable in current year mindset.

  • @terryfox9344

    Thank you for this information. As a Paramount "owner", my concern is strictly about the future value of my stock. That value is very much related to the sales negotiations. Recently, Warren Buffet and Berkshire-Hathaway cut their ownership interest in Paramount, so someone must have been buying Paramount shares on the cheap as the price has dropped. Thank God there appear to be interested buyers out there.

    From those I know who use streaming services, Paramount is the least liked one. I know some who just tuned in when they offered the free trial time. Without the Star Trek content they would have nothing to offer. If they merge with someone else, it can just benefit them, or is the last chance to stay in this market.

    I've stuck by my theory that one day, there will be maybe two or one large conglomerate that will oversee all of the archives from major studios and TV companies from around the world. All that will remain is the logos or production houses who financed or made the production. The current shifting sands of companies gradually being merged or sold up certainly will occur as time moves forward. Streaming is still on target to be the dominant media entertainment hub for the global populations. People keep saying that streaming is finished. Well, streaming isn't finished. Streaming was only really born 2019 during the Covid pandemic, and is currently still only an infant. There's still many years of fine tuning and development to achieve.
