Connor Trinneer Slams Star Trek Fans Who Attack New Shows
Speaking on The Transporter Room podcast, the Star Trek: Enterprise actor said nobody owns the franchise and fans should support it.
Connor Trinneer, who appeared in Star Trek: Enterprise, criticized Star Trek fans who attack modern Paramount+ series and said nobody owns the franchise. He made the remarks on The Transporter Room podcast, hosted by Chris Garis and Allyson Leach-Heid, according to screenrant.com.
Trinneer argued that fans should support the franchise rather than tear down shows they dislike. He also said that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy did not work for him, but defended the right of others to enjoy it.
Star Trek: Enterprise is marking its 25th anniversary this year. The series ran for four seasons on UPN from 2001 to 2005 and was unpopular during its original run, but later found a wider audience through streaming on Netflix and Paramount+.
Context for the debate
In background, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is ending after two seasons and drew hostility from some older fans who called it "too woke." Star Trek: The Next Generation took three seasons to win over fans of Star Trek: The Original Series.
Alex Kurtzman's Paramount+ era of Star Trek is ending in 2027. Skydance reportedly plans to relaunch the Star Trek movie franchise before making new TV series and to move away from legacy characters and canon.
