Let's just ban mergers.
WB is awful about wasting and mishandling IP (see: Babylon 5, for example). I sincerely hope they don’t get anywhere near Star Trek.
Ugh, if this goes through, we'll be down to what, four Hollywood major studios now? (WB-Paramount, Disney, Universal, Sony) Yikes.
- unfortunately it seems like we'll have to root for an acquisition by Universal, because it's almost a certainty Paramount will be bought out. they're worth like 1/3rd of what they used to be and the alternative is probably being scrapped for parts
