There’s a strange irony in watching these massive, multi-million dollar physical sets being torn down in Toronto just as AI video generation is hitting a 'professional' baseline. With the advances we've seen in 2026—native 4K upscaling, character consistency, and realistic physics—we’re likely at the tipping point where the devoted fans who would crave new Star Trek content can start generating short films with realitve ease. If a small team of fans can recreate the Enterprise bridge in a video model for a few dollars, the 'cancellation' of a show might not mean the end of its visual life anymore and the fans can continue the storyline

I recently bailed on SNW after realizing the cringe factor and unprofessionalism was to stay. Started watching TOS. Hope this isn't really the end of Star Trek and just this misguided period of it.

Not sure what you mean about unprofessionalism but SNW was definitely cringey, this show was just feeling itself way too hard if they thought they could get away with like a musical episode in season 2.

Aside from Lower Decks which was a love letter to classic Trek and hence niche.. so much potential squandered in the NuTrek era
