A meeting between executives at Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery to discuss a merger would be very bad news for the Star Trek renaissance.

Summary

Reports of a negotiation between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery suggest that the two studios may merge.
A merger is part of a larger problem with media consolidation, but it's also bad news for Star Trek and its new renaissance.
If consumed by Warner Bros. Discovery, Star Trek will become much less important to its home studio, especially if it's looking to make cuts and save money.
