   A Message For Secret Hideout/CBS

   From: joeyjolley1975@gmail.com   
      
       I am dissatisfied with your handling of "Star Trek". The gruesome, gorey   
   horror stuff, the foul language, the meanness of the characters toward one   
   another in "Discovery" and "Picard". We don't think this is appropriate   
   behavior nor is it what "Star    
   Trek" is about.    
      
       I can accept action (good vs. evil) stuff and some mild swearing or   
   swearing that is necessary for a scene, but this horrible filth that you have   
   put into modern "Star Trek" is totally unacceptable! I didn't ask for it nor   
   do we want it! We want "   
   Star Trek" to go back to what it is all about: exploration, humanity rising   
   out of its current state and becoming better, and conflict only happening when   
   necessary.    
      
        I want the positive aspects of "Star Trek" to return. The men at Secret   
   Hideout and CBS think that this new stuff is to satisfy young people whom they   
   think demands this filth! Well, I don't think young people really want that!    
      
        I wish that Secret Hideout and CBS return the "Star Trek" franchise to   
   the ownership and control of Paramount Pictures and that Rick Berman or some   
   other competent producer be hired/rehired to helm the franchise.    
      
        Having the franchise under the control of men who only care about money   
   and their own agendas is just plain sick! It's time for "Star Trek" to come   
   under the control of people who know what they're doing, not under these men   
   who only care about    
   increasing their cash flow and pushing their own agenda!    
      
        I might get backlash for this, maybe even a cease-and-desist order from   
   CBS demanding that I stop expressing opinions challenging and contrary to   
   those of the powers-that-be. I'll comply with any cease-and-desist order I   
   get, but I had to express my    
   feelings on the matter.    
      
        This will be my only post on the matter.    
      
        Signed,
