“Jean-Luc Picard is back”: will new Picard show eclipse Discovery?

[fireproof78]

I think this will also depend on number of shows running at once?

Probably. But, then you work them in together and create a huge crossover event.

He'll be a senile old Picard rambling on about Michael Burnham and Spore Drives in some nursing home.

Everyone will think he's nuts.

That would be a very bad crappy concept for a new Star Trek series!

So 10 of the 15 episodes of Season 1 had over 1 Million viewers in Canada.
The drop off happened during the second half the season, coincidentally the same time Big brother started up. But the drop off was still in the 900k area.

It went from over 1 million viewers to less than 200,000??

He said 900,000.

 

[Tuskin38]

also to note, it aired on a premium cable channel, not a public channel, except Episode 1.

 

[Vger23]

He said 900,000.

I may have mis-interperted the intent, but the statement was that the drop-off was in the 900K range. I interpreted that to mean that view ship dropped by 900K people.

You're saying it went from "over 1M" to around 900K in total viewers? That would make more sense!

My bad, Yeah I meant they dropped to the 900k range.

I'm going to post a breakdown in the general chat thread

 

[Reece L101]

Am I right of thinking that number has dropped compared to what Star Trek was like in the 90s?

 

[Nyotarules]

IIRC he floated the idea of playing his own grandfather when it was pointed out he was already too old to play his own father.

Men make babies way past 50. Exhibit A Mick Jagger, Michael Douglas and many more

Just a tad. Or I would be able to buy DSC toys. Galoob has stuff on the shelf while Tasha Yar was still a thing for TNg.

Don’t give him ideas.....

Yes. But it is a different ballgame now vs. the 90's. TV is aimed at more niche audiences.

Thanks man, that was a pretty concerning drop-off based on what I thought you meant!!

 

[Tuskin38]

You also need to take in account that Canada has a smaller population then California lmao.

Massively.

 

[Mudd]

I'm not convinced that you are an authority on that subject.

Yeah, but we can be pretty sure that you're not.
