Causality is not the same thing as correlation, and I understand that [...] I would also say — and this is what feels most true to me — that two things can be true. It can be that the broadcast model is collapsing, and, while we’re at it, as long as we’re collapsing here, what if we shove this one out a window first? I mean, this lamb’s got a very cuttable throat.

To my knowledge this is the most direct he's been on that theory, which aligns with my suspicions as well.

Yeah, that's about as conspiratorial as I'm prepared to get about the whole thing. I don't think the cancellation was for solely political reasons - if that were the case, they probably would have just pulled the plug immediately - but it seems very possible that political reasons were in the mix.

Yeah he put it best here:

Me being canceled reinforced a narrative that CBS already had a nimbus of knee-bending that they had created around themselves

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.
