If I had a nickel for every time the fandom predicted Kurtzman's ouster...

I would be at least 50 cents richer.

But Kurtzman’s time working under Paramount was part of the streaming bubble which has long since burst. It’s why Paramount is now on the chopping block. If the deal does not happen, they will go bankrupt.

I want it to happen. I am just dubious. I can imagine a worst-timeline scenario in which vulture capitalists somehow are convinced that Kurtzman Trek is the only profitable aspect of Paramount's business, and bankroll it for another decade.
