Do people really find themselves rewatching NuTrek?

The only show I've gone back to for a second watch is Lower Decks.

The only re-watch that I've never been able to finish was Picard S2 -- and even that season has at least two defenders on these boards that I know of. I'm a staunch defender of most of season one, and two of the things that really seemed to bother others -- copy/paste fleet (they ran out of time/money. shit happens) and machine tenacles (a choice to be sure, but what were people expecting? Artoo and Threepio?) aren't deal-breakers to me.

 

[Farscape One]

I have rewatched LOWER DECKS, PRODIGY, most of SNW, PICARD seasons 1 and 3, and the most recent 2 episodes of SFA.

I have yet to bother with DISCO or PICARD season 2. I'm not going to waste time rewatching bad shows or seasons.

 

[Mudd]

I rewatch episodes of SNW quite a bit.

 

[johnjm22]

Which are the "recent" shows to you?

Discovery onward.

None of these shows will age well. I like Prodigy though.

 

[CT_Phipps]

Discovery onward.

None of these shows will age well. I like Prodigy though.

I doubt that's the case for Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds 1 + 2.

 

[Farscape One]

Discovery onward.

None of these shows will age well. I like Prodigy though.

I agree about DISCO totally and PICARD mostly.

LDS, PRODIGY, and the first season and a half of SNW, though, I disagree.

CBSTrek has zero rewatchability factor for me. I did buy Prodigy on bluray when they were going to take it off P+, just in case it was never streamable again.

 

[Elaise]

Are Nielson ratings even a thing with streaming shows?

I do believe them and the others charge for the more expanded services. So there seems to be a market for their data.

 

[Fateor]

I disagree. When Discovery aired about a decade ago, I absolutely hated it. Ten years and a most recent rewatch later, I have a very different opinion. It may be nothing compared to TNG in syndication, but I think it can attract new audiences still.

Discovery first aired in September 2017, it hasn't even been out 9 years yet.

I rewatch Lower Decks all the time, even bought the BluRay's.

Funny thing is I'm still catching new stuff in it.

Absolutely. I can pick and nibble at the odd Lower Decks and SNW episode just as I do with TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. I have watched seasons 1 and 2 of Picard several times and season 2 onwards of Discovery. In fact I did a 2-5 rewatch as prep for Academy.

 

[Tuskin38]

Several SNW Season 2, Discovery Season 5 and a couple Picard Season 3 episodes made it into the Top 10.

Nielsen only started tracking Paramount+ in 2023, so there's no numbers before that year.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'm sure they will "age" just fine. I'm unsure why they wouldn't.

 

[StarTrek1701]

I rewatch PIC S03 (most of it) and SNW (a couple of episodes only).
All other NuTrek I watched only once.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I usually watch each episode twice when they drop. PIC3 was an exception. Once was more than enough. I revisit SNW the most. Especially "comfort food" episodes like Those Old Scientists.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I will say that I've never actually had a opportunity to rewatch Prodigy season 2. I subscribed to Netflix for one month to watch it and made it through the season once and didn't have time to go through it again.

 

[Mudd]

People rewatch 3rd year episodes of TOS, most of which were not aging well by the second commercial break on NBC.

Do what I do, buy the BluRays.

 

[Farscape One]

I'm sure they will "age" just fine. I'm unsure why they wouldn't.

In DISCO's case:

Seasons being spread out into 13 episodes when 5 would have done the trick, the terrible writing of arcs that just meander about for most of the season, said arcs ending badly or mediocre (with season 4 being the only one that was a good ending), the endless shrink sessions, the inability to take these Starfleet officers seriously as professionals, the meltdowns during a ticking clock...

Yeah, I don't think DISCO will age well at all.

Nah. None of that stuff will effect "aging"
