Star Trek Fans: A New Hope?

This is the fourth entry in a surprisingly long series of posts about Star Trek’s future and its fandom called Crisis of Infinite Star Treks.

“A new hope?!?,” you Trek partisans cry. Yes, I went there. But stay with me, because although the tomfoolery (Garth-foolery?) of the Axanar lawsuit continues, CBS went ahead and announced the showrunner for their new Star Trek TV series: Bryan Fuller.

Yes, someone who has both written for Star Trek and led critically acclaimed shows.

This bodes well. Search your feelings: you know this to be true.

UPDATE, 2016-02-26: Yeah, some of you thought this was a thin thread to rest a new hope on, didn’t ya? Well guess who else has signed on? Nicholas “Khaaan” Meyer, that’s who. Yeah, you glass half-empty fans will worry about continuity holes from Chekov to gaseous anomalies, but tell me that doesn’t give you a whale-sized smile.
