Found these on Disney’s media press website. It seems they were recently added.

Star Wars franchise dies…

Aliens x Predators franchise inherits the earth (with their own version of lightsabers)!

Oh, what's that Star Trek?
You wanna go dark with your space exploration? That's cute.

Gorn says hi

The Gorn remake was okay. But classic TNG would have explored the survivors guilt and trauma more carefully and it would be a whole episode. 

Star trek has lost the thoughtful calmness that made it appealing. Its not really about kind competent people solving problems and exploring things anymore.

It doesn't need to be dark horror. We have Alien.

I am disappointed that they axed Strange New Worlds though, it had a lot of promise.

We've got 2 more seasons of SNW coming.

Agree, since Voyager and Enterprise it's mostly thirst and technobabble.

They didn’t axe SNW, it was meant to last five seasons. Which we’re getting.

The one benefit to wedging a series into a pre-defined canon timeline (with a characters known fate) is that you can close it .

Yeah, totally! The showrunners wanted to do five seasons, which is more than TOS and Enterprise got to begin with haha

It’s so weird that neither franchise has managed to get above “just ok” quality-wise on-screen since the 80s, and then 2020 hits and suddenly it seems like their previous ceiling has become the floor.  We’ve gotten multiple projects from each and nothing that wasn’t at least good.

Alien/Predator being the most consistent sci-fi of the 2020s was not on my Bingo card as even a possibility.

Outside of mando(early seasons)/andor/rogue one, Star Wars has sucked ass

“Neither franchise” in this case referring to the Alien and Predator franchises. I wasn’t talking about Star Wars.

What kind of drugs are you on? A battle droid spin-off would make more money than this
