Another major Hollywood merger might be happening, and it could once again forever change the landscape of entertainment. Alleged conversations are happening about Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount merging, and as a Star Trek fan, I can't help but feel a bit worried. Sure, watching Trek with a Max subscription would have its advantages, but is it worth the other potential downsides?
Star Trek fans who aren't following entertainment news so closely might be confused by that statement, but it's easy enough to explain. There have been some business decisions made since Warner Bros. merged with Discovery that upset fans of other franchises, and there's some worry that those tactics we've seen used with other properties could be used again if Star Trek joins the WBD family. Here are a few examples of what we've seen happen that I'd hate to see repeated to my favorite franchise.
