Star Trek Discovery and the Return of Picard: The Controversies Behind The Scenes

On August 4th, Patrick Stewart announced he would reprise his signature of Jean Luc Picard, to universal praise. The enthusiasm for the future Picard series if anything greater than the enthusiasm for the second season of “Star Trek Discovery”, despite the promise that it will feature both the Enterprise, Captain Pike and a young Spock.

However, both Star Trek Discovery and the upcoming Picard series, as well as all future CBS All Access Star Strek incarnations planned under Alex Kurtzman’s watch, are heavily rumored to build towards a certain corporate goal for Star Trek, one which longtime fans will take issue with.

In this video, we look back at the controversies and behind the scenes issues of Star Trek Discovery’s first season, and how these issues have continued and even escalated behind the scenes of season two. Then, we will look into the Picard revival series and which direction it might take, before exploring the corporate rights issues that are the underlying cause of all the problems – and why subverting established canon may be a deliberate corporate goal.
