billmason OP , 1 month ago @ValueSubtracted I keep thinking about this and I'm not sure where I land. I feel like we're near "progress for progress' sake". First we had movies that sequeled our TV shows. No one objected unless a given movie was bad. Then post-Berman pre-streaming we did movies because no one had appetite to make new TV Trek. Fine. Now in the streaming era of multiple series, what purpose do disconnected-from-TV cinematic movies serve? Do they need to exist besides 💰? I don't know what the answer is.
