Given the season length is 10-16 episodes these days you can get 10 seasons within a couple of couple in character years. Say an episode per in character week.
I find the idea that they might bring in Ira or Ron in to run things is interesting, but honestly I've been hearing from this crowd doom and gloom on Discovery and Picard for so long I can't take it seriously, but if they do replace Kurtzmen, I think Berman is the better choice of course.
If Section 31 one happens it will destroy the last shred of crediblity on Star Trek this crowd has left.
you can believe whatever you want on the matter, no matter how edgy in appearance your threads have become. From my end, i think STP has been good so far and Dis season 3 is coming out later this year. if CBS thought this whole thing was a failure they would of canned the whole project instead of asking Kurtzman to get more star trek series out there so that runs contrary to your claims.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

People seem to forget the signed Kurtzman to a five year deal. Also the thought that CBS is going to fire Kurtzman and bring back any of the showrunners from past Trek is crazy.
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

Unless they do two seasons a year, I couldn’t see the show lasting a whole ten years; that’s a big commitment from the cast.
It works better for smaller shows (like Supernatural) where there’s only two or three main stars, but a show like Puke Trek would probably require a good six to eight solid characters to carry the show through.
They’d also be a little limited on their story telling too - they can’t do a whole lot with the Klingons, they can’t do anything with the Romulans or the Borg, they probably can’t touch the Tholian, Breen or Tzenkethi etc
I think they’d struggle to fill ten seasons within a TOS timeline if they don’t want to change anything.

I think you will find that lordgyor was talking about in-setting years, not real-world ones. Between having only a quarter to a little over a half season worth of shows per season they are in effect only showing a few weeks out of an in-setting year unless they have massive amounts of downtime between episodes (which rarely happens with serial format shows).
They could very easily take two or three of these mini and half seasons to relate all the events of a single year in the show's story time, so they could run though a standard five year show contract in the real world, while only telling the stories of only a year or two in the setting so they have plenty of time before Pike's date with a leaking reactor if they wanted to make a Pike show. Ever see the series "24"? It spend a whole season detailing just one day in the life of the characters.
