The worst case scenario is pretty bad though, namely Paramount implodes and licensing nonsense means Trek has to be pulled from distribution platforms, with literally no legal way to watch.
EDIT: I'm less worried about this for Trek than Avatar though. I know it has a rough history with being put on ice, but it's still a big, provably profitable IP.
I wonder if there is some sort of legal way to transfer the rights to Roddenberry Entertainment if Paramount folds?
If Roddenberry Entertainment has an absolute fortune to burn and can somehow separate the license from the pile of IP it will be bundled with, maybe.
Dead IPs tend to be squatted on, too potentially valuable to just give away.
But again, now I think Trek is just too popular and profitable for this to happen. Some shark will find a way to pick it up.
