Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

He would keep the linear networks, plus Paramount+ and operate the streamer more efficiently (Good luck with that).

Good luck indeed. We're all counting on you.

This guy really seems to be intent on buying the parts of Paramount everyone else considers dead weight.

I'm hoping that maybe (just maybe) he realizes the value of adding all of Trek.

I don't know, it sounds like it might be better off in someone else's hands...depending on the someone.

I have to hold out hope at this point. I refuse to make my entire personality the ownership of a peg leg and a parrot... for now.
