Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.
I hope he’s a Trekkie.

They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.

I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

If your concerns are on the creative side of things, I don’t think that’s really what they do - their expertise seems to be getting things made.

Into Darkness
oh no!
Beyond
oh yes!
I’m not sure what to think there.

I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.
They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.
I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.

I don’t hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but… Could be worse.
