Best thing he can do for the future of Trek is make sure Kurzmann and anyone who sat with him at the lunch table never get their pens near it again.
Let me get this straight, Paramount was recently purchased by the Ellisons yet you feel the greatest threat to Star Trek is... Alex Kurtzman? Wait wait, let me guess, you don't like how political Star Trek suddenly became this past decade?
It's always the same with you. Here is an interesting – perhaps shocking – fact: People can dislike both the Ellison takeover and the Alex Kurtzman creative era. There's no sort of contradiction here. I don't like Kurtzman because the Star Trek he was involved in was mostly trash, in my opinion. That doesn't mean that I am happy about MAGA infiltration at Paramount, and I assume that it is the same for the other commenter.
I was mod of /r/StarTrek for a decade and I have yet to see a single situation where a vague "bad writing" complaint wasn't serving as cover for a (let's just say) less socially acceptable criticism.
If you're being honest about your feelings then my advice to you is be significantly more concrete with exactly what it is you are criticizing about Kurtzman, or people are going to assume you're obfuscating your true feelings.
