SNW. And quite regularly too.
Each modern live action Trek show, and S31, has made the Nielsen top 10. There were 14 instances as of the end of Disco, and SNW has continued to appear. The early seasons of those shows were before Paramount reported their numbers, so it's not possible to compare premieres.

I have an appointment with my urology oncologist in San Francisco, but it is on February 20, so as usual, a day late for the SWAG. I will go to Fisherman's Wharf, after I see my actual Doctor at UCSF Health Mission Bay, but to get some sourdough bread, and a late lunch, at Boudin Bakery, before returning home.Star Trek: Starfleet Academy wants you to flash the Vulcan salute at Pier 39 🖖

Someone made this point in one of the weekly review threads, but I'm starting to feel like the showrunners didn't really think SAM through.
As a hologram, she effectively has superpowers compared to the other cadets. She can make herself incorporeal whenever she wants. She doesn't need food, or water, or air. She could survive temperatures the other cadets cannot. She could potentially walk through walls. The list goes on and on.
Yet, we've seen her do very little. In the opening episode, Darem decides to go outside in vacuum and risk his life, even though SAM presumably doesn't breathe. And in the most recent episode, she gets shot, damaging her matrix, even though we saw her turn herself incorporeal to avoid being shot just a few episodes ago as part of the game with the War College. She also seemed to be using life support built into her combat suit when she first went onboard for...something? Maybe she was just humoring them? I dunno. Ship life support in Trek never made much sense, since it instantaneously goes from instant death to fine (something real spaceships don't even do).
I did like how in the fifth episode Caleb was trying to play around with her holomatrix, even if it was mostly for gags. It seemed to imply at least that SAM has less control over herself than The Doctor did on VOY, which might explain why she seems to actively dress/undress rather than just poof change into the appropriate clothing. Still, the show seems to "forget" she operates under different parameters than the other cadets quite often.

Or she doesn't quite know the extent of her abilities (In the pilot, she said she was chronologically seven years old.)
Sam was activated for the first time 4 months before she joined the academy.
Not seven. Seventeen.
"I was programmed to feel 17, but I've only existed a little over four months on Kasq."

Sounds like you are dealing with the same shit my father did for two years, hopefully your outcome will be as good as his.
I really want to watch this but I struggle with Dominic Keating and his incessant need to talk over guests.
She's trying to get the authentic organic lifeform experience
I am sure it is a false positive number, like the last time, two years ago for me also. I had to go to the specialist. This time the high number is probably caused by a Covid booster I got 5 weeks before lab work. A trip to the doctor, more blood work on the day I see him, an MRI a couple of months later and a follow-up visit. At least I get to go to San Francisco on each visit.
Besides, there's always the chance some benevolent, malicious, or playful lifeform will play Blue Fairy to SAM's Pinocchio and make a real girl out of her. Got to be prepared by developing non-photonic instincts.
