This trend isn't isolated to Star Trek. Recent cancellations of other Star Trek series like "Lower Decks" and "Discovery" mirror a troubling reality for fans of any original content.

With reference to the older series, he delved deep into the disillusionment many fans feel toward the current offerings of Star Trek, stating, “I just have not enjoyed this new era of Star Trek. It's not for me."
