Proof please.
“8 shows now on the air or in the works”
- Thread starter The Habs Fan
- Start date
Proof please.
Even if that happens, they still won't air until 2021, thus my comment about "Just not any this year because of that thing that's been going on."
They were filmed after, not during.
Unless I time travelled I’m pretty certain I saw the Enterprise shorts last year, months before Discovery Season 3 wrapped production.
Oh whoops, I misread that as Season 2.
This sounds like too much. I can see four shows to pad out the year (not including the Nickelodeon series that are going for a completely different audience). But eight? Two new series at the same time all year round is a bad idea.
The only way eight series sounds plausible is if some of the pre-existing ones are cancelled. I prefer that not happen with DSC or PIC. Some other people would love if they were cancelled, but don't be so quick to. They'll only be replaced with series that you'll think are just as bad. So it doesn't work for me and it doesn't work for you either (whoever "you" are).

I have seen it, but I can't share it cos CaptainXaviOfEarth deleted it.
So what did you see?
What Tweet?
The Tweet in the thread’s original post; the one from Viacom CBS.
Maybe my mobile browser is just being wonky, but every time I’ve tried clicking on it, I’ve gotten a message saying that the Tweet has been deleted.
That was in the age of TV screens in people’s living rooms. Where you could watch one show at any given time, maybe record one on video cassettes.
Nowadays is the world of streaming. CBS may not expect everyone to watch each Trek show, but rather target groups cherrypick their favs and bingeing seasons when they’re all out. Even when the shows go off air, CBS retains access to loads of contemporary Trek for re-runs.
In my native Germany, there’s Star Trek on TV every day, even 15 years after ENT ended.
I just checked in with Tele5, out of curiosity and nostalgia, and they're showing three Trek episodes daily, (TNG, VGR and ENT), plus a re-run of the previous day's TNG episode.
Bingo.
It was inevitable as soon as they announced plans for yearlong Trek. I'm just gonna enjoy the next 2-3 years before it all tumbles down.
I can only speak for myself, but I feel like I watch Trek kind of out of obligation as a fan. I'm curious, it's new Star Trek, and we get to talk about it here. Hell, On the nights that the new episodes are released I'm staying up and watching for the most part, like this last week staying up till 11:15 PM watching the premiere of Lower Decks. When you say fans cherry pick what they like, As someone who likes Star Trek, that's easier said than done.
Literally my exact thoughts!
I feel for you. That’s the Collector’s mindset - gotta have it all, not miss a thing.
That’s why wrote target groups cherrypick, because fans would just watch everything.
For the record, I’m a Trek fan who does watch every Trek show.
And that the big difference really. Nothing on air at the same time. And people can watch when they want. With old tv, if they showed two shows on the same evening, you HAD to watch it, or wait for a rerun. Tape it if you could I guess.
With the way they're doing it now, there's never a new show having new episodes at the same time as the other. And if you don't feel like watching that particular show, you can just wait for a bit and stream it when you want.
So I don't think it's saturating the market as they did in the 90's.
