And at least they aren’t being cut so fast that the last episode will come out as Riker playing on the holodeck just as the show was getting into the good stuff.
Would it be better to drag it out past the point where it runs out of steam, audiences stop paying attention, and it falls so hard nobody does anything else with the Star Trek brand on TV for a decade or two?
Yeah, better quickly end the best Trek show since DS9. Wouldn’t want to maintain viewer engagement after all. That’s some sharp thinking, Paramount.
I don’t know about “quickly” - at the rate they’re going, the show won’t end until 2028…

That’s not actually the only option
It’s the one that’s happened before.
If only there was a way to look back and figure out where it all went wrong. Oh well better cancel another great show.
