What if question for the group- So Paramount goes with an earlier, crappier script for Wrath of Khan. It fails. Miserably. Add this to the general disappointment of The Motion Picture (yeah, I know plenty of us like TMP, but it did not go over well for most). Does the failure of Khan put an end to the Star Trek franchise? Does a Khan failure keep the studios from making the rest of the Trek films? Does it convince producers it’s not worth creating The Next Generation?
I think we fans sometimes overestimate the strength of our influence. Maybe fandom might push for something in today's world of Hollywood having to base new stuff existing properties (c'mon Supertrain reboot!) I know the Trek fan base would continue, but without more crossover support would it end Star Trek? I think we fans sometimes overestimate the strength of our influence.
