Comment on SNW Season 3 Early Review Round-Up
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 days agoHeck, it was pretty much Goldsman’s pitch:
In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.” Every day in the writers’ room, we try to imagine how would Gene Roddenberry and his team make The Original Series if they were doing it today?

I’ve been wondering how much of the decision to wrap SNW with a short sixth season might have to do with Goldsman’s contract with Paramount coming to an end and his new one with another franchise and major studio.
SNW really was his project, regardless of Alonso Myers being the co-showrunner.
There’s a possibility that this is also about a change in leadership as the show transitions to a true TOS show, perhaps hopping to a time post-TAS but before the movies, and even shifting somewhat in tone.
All of this would make sense of casting an older actor as Jim Kirk.
