As the stellar path was destroyed by the disco era
By Joshua Tyler & Drew Dietsch | Updated
After the exit Star Way: Section 31It is worth listening to a negative critic that calls Star Trek a dead franchise. However, or not, it is difficult to refuse once a great science-fiction universe.
What exactly happened to deliver Star Trek to this state? Let’s send the watch back to 2017. The stellar path He was 12 years old on television. Last Big Plea Trek Media released, Star Way: Nextended as disappointment at the box office.
Yes, Vov developed by a bold new plan to revive Star Trek with a prequel. Well, the franchise just did it quite recently. The 2009 movie The stellar path was essentially a prequel, to travel by time Spoke Shangans will be cursed.
But it was on the big screen; This time we were going to get a series of prequel. Well, the franchise has already done it. It’s called EnterpriseAnd Paramount pulled the plug after four seasons.
With these projects put into the rear view and seemingly trickle Service, CBS All Access. This third attempt at the Star Way will be the basis of the new era for the franchise. The third time was not charm.
That is why the Star Trek disco era failed.
As Star Trek hit the disco
The Star Trek disco era did not actually start in the disco era, 70s, no matter what bone outfit Movie Perhaps you believe. The disco era is named after its founder, Star Way: Openingwhich debuted in 2017. It ended at least spiritually with the exit Star Way: Section 31 In 2025, the movie, which is now the worst movie “Star Way” Rotten tomatoes According to critics and users.
Star Way: Opening It was originally created by Brian Fuler. Fuller was a famous television writer and producer by writing for both Star Way: Deep Space Nine and Star Way: Journey In the 90s. Since then, Fuller has become a very sought -after talent in the television world and was the creator and show -the well -known series as Pushing the daisies and iconic adaptation of Thomas Harris Gonna.
He had the correct resumeand Paramount hired it to create A new star hike Series. His original step was to make a series anthology, where every season would tell a certain story at different times in the history of Star Trek, showing new heroes every season. The first season would be a prickly The original series, and each next season will move further and further into the future.
Paramount’s reaction was something along the line, let’s start with the usual serialized show, and then we’ll see. Fuller started working on Discovery as his show. At the same time it was also in the middle of the performance as a series for a series American gods.
Paramount collided with a Fuler, hiding the director for a pilot who Fuller thought was not suitable for the project. After these struggles, Fuller eventually left the production, but keeping the loan on the show as long as everything was said and done.
The duties Showrunner will be conveyed by Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harbarts, Writers Fules have worked hard and brought since their time Pushing the daisies. Star Way: Opening Premiere in their leadership in 2017.
Although the original critical response was positive, the tone of the show and the big emphasis was disconnected by many fans. When it comes to evaluating or trusting viewers, you will be much better trying to find out the Tomarian language.
Star Way goes full Urkel
The first season is finally showing.
Alex Kurtzman came to head the second season. Kurtzman was the main creative talent for recent films about Star Trek, including Star Way: In Darkness. If you want to know our thoughts about this, check out our video where the title gives it out.
Now Kurtzman has spent the future of the entire franchise in his hands. He will remain responsible for not just for Revelation But essentially it will become the main creative voice for Star Trek.
There were attempts at the juice Revelation For additional supporters of the elderly. Anson Mount was presented as Christopher Pike, and although there are many fair criticisms to prove it, most agreeing that his casting and receiving the hero – some of the bright spots of the disco era.
Unfortunately, the rest of the show still had a show that it was always developed, and adding one good character will not save the show. If this character is not Steve Urkel, probably.
Star Trek Institute quarantine to open
With additional Trek series projects planned for forward+ Streaming Service, Star Way: Opening In the end, it is not quite agreed with where the franchise seemed. Seem Open excluded on your own story.
In the end, Christopher Pike Anson Mount -Maunt will order a new series of prequalions, Star Way: Amazing New Worlds. It seems the fourth time was charm. Though Amazing new worlds Technically, it is expanding the disco-edible, it quickly went to work, distinguishing itself from opening and many mistakes that show in the eyes of fans. Amazing new worlds Even corrected the clearing.
Discovery ended up ending your mileage after five seasons, and it was supposed to be for the Eri disc. The franchise was divorced from the series, and Paramount was very committed to work on a number of other star -hike shows.
Alex Kurtman continues to push bad ideas No one wants
However, Alex Kurtzman tried to do Star Way: Section 31 Spinoff series from the first season Revelation.
His plan was concentrated around the mirror of the universe villain from the character played by the actress Michel yo. You know, a tough dictator who loved violence, the perfect Star Trek products.
Fans were not completely signs of this idea, and Paramount constantly prioritized in other new series Section 31. After all, it turned out, but after turning off Covid it was set up to take the plot of the designated series and squeeze it into a feature film. Already then Kurzman gave the update in which Section 31 Now he was a low priority when it was about current Trek projects.
Oscar’s victory continues the disco era
Paramount’s independence Section 31 It would change in March 2023, when Michel Eoch won “Oscar” for the best actress. Next month, Star Way: Section 31 Went to production as a full -length feature film. We think you can understand why it should go for priority.
In January 2025, Star Way: Section 31 Came as a movie about the direct stream on Paramount+. It was the first star “Star Way”, released for almost ten years. He now performs as the worst movie throughout the Canon Star Trek.
There are a lot reviewsbreakdowns, And video with furious bait about section 31 if you want to delve into literally scary details. But enough to say Section 31 acts as what seems to be the highest rise And that’s awful.
Starly ways did not need to go down this way, Requiem for McMahan and Matalasa
That is double disappointing in Disco-epoch is what Paramount had other Star Trek projects, which seemed much more perceived by fans. Animated series The lower decks failed Be another project project, but instead returned the ease and pleasure to the Trek universe. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after a five -season run, and creator Mike McMahan moved away from the franchise.
The Disco-verbal was a few autonomous Picard-Persu, a Vanity project, which is masked as a series developed around Captain Patrick Picard’s character. This show was a catastrophe for two seasons and approached the tonal approach, which we saw in the disco-epoch projects until the third season was directed by the veteran television show and painted in Vultta Starlasa Stalas.
Matalas made up the fact that it is widely regarded as the best season “star path” of the modern era of the hike. Matalas lobbied to get more Star Trek projects, including lunch for shows called Star Way: Heritage It will be focused on many classic characters from such shows Next generation. Fans launched petitions to try to persuade Paramount to pass him all the franchise.
Instead, Paramount switched to Matalas. And we got Star Way: Section 31 Instead.
Why did the Star Trek disco
It is not difficult to understand why the Star Trek disco era could not make the cultural influence we saw from the franchise before. He tried to take Star Trek and put it into another skin, never focusing on things that fans considered exciting about previous Star Trek projects.
Although they still have a disc -dnk Amazing new worlds, and Paramount tries another prequel with Academy Starfleet The series seems to be Trek at the end of this stage in its franchise identity.
