I would badge this if I could. Our badge economy is collapsing. Wanna see an awesome quote?

“Don’t have temporary people make permanent decisions.” - Barbara Broccoli

Worthy of note - Ian Fleming died in 1964, a year and change after Dr. No came out. The Living Daylights (1987) was the last Fleming bond, unless you count Casino Royale, which was a direct response to the Bourne movies eating Bond's lunch after Madonna fenced with a North Korean billionaire ice-racer who had a death ray satellite or some shit. Also worthy of note - Cubby Broccoli nuked one business partnership to buy rights to the Bond novels because his existing partner thought they were shit - he was right, by the way. Cubby also dropped Blofeld down a chimney so that he could show his second partner who was boss. The Bond movies have only been just barely based on Fleming's spy since the drop; the whole mess has always been "whatever the Broccolis feel like doing".

Likewise, Gene Roddenberry has been dead since 1991 and was an alcoholic sexual predator while alive. The first series was noteworthy for having several brilliant authors contribute and then leave; Next Generation was noteworthy for having several brilliant authors contribute and then leave. DS9, Discovery and the later movies are all Rick Berman, whose principle trait was "he did what Majel Barrett said." That, of course, ran the franchise into the ground faster than you can say "north korean ice racing" so Paramount dragged Kurtzman and Orci into the frame to resurrect the thing but it's very much culture by committee at this point.

I think Trek succeeds when it allows accidental brilliance. The more money there is in it, the less room there is for accident.
