Just what we needed, more fucking mergers.
- What happens when all the dinosaurs have mated?
  
  Chicken's done?
Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison, and being that, it's impossible for him to run out of money.

I hope he's a Trekkie.
- They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.
  
  I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn't
  
  Into Darkness
  
  oh no!
  
  Beyond
  
  oh yes!
  
  I’m not sure what to think there.
I'm just hoping that this doesnt mean SNW will be cancelled like some of the other shows
- ... how do you have hope for stuff like this at this point.
  
  I like SNW, so I hope its not cancelled.
I don't hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but... Could be worse.
forget skydance and mergers bring back columbia tri star
