News Starfleet Academy Nielsen Ratings

Food and Drink is only disallowed in the transporter room. :rommie:
One thing I really don't like in ALL of Trek - they never use their tech or their discoveries to their full potential.
They can reorganize atoms to the quantum level, have nanotech beyond even scifi standards but people still gotta exercise to stay in shape?
Our current medical tech with Wegovy and other drugs are shedding weight so much that last year was the first time in 30 years that American obesity rates finally started to drop.
Not weight-shaming anyone, just saying we now have tech to make life a lot easier for everyone.

That's a hilarious complaint with a franchise that repeatedly ignores technological expansion. It's a feature not a bug, going all the way back.

If Trek used established technology to it's full potential, they'd be tech-assisted immortal proto-Q, beaming anywhere in the galaxy (though time and universes as well!) at the tap of a comm badge. Resetting their age with every teleport. Respawning last-saved patterns when killed.

I'd LOVE to see it, but it'd be high-concept stuff about what humanity means without limits rather than light Star Trek space adventures.

Being on Monjauro for Type II Diabetes, even though I lost 50 pounds, unless you exercise that includes lifting some free weights, the weight you will lose first is muscle mass. To avoid muscle loss, so you can keep your balance, I do 10 minutes a day of lifting free weights, in addition to 30 minutes a day on a stationary bike.
 
Better hope that's wrong.

Because otherwise LA is going to collapse under it's own weight as the filming industry falls apart.
More work for Toronto and Vancouver! ;)

(Sorry, I’ve been in a very “us vs. them” mentality lately. Can’t imagine why.)
 
Apparently, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is going UP in the ratings steadily.

Which is throwing the outrage crew for a loop.

The reason, of course, can't be all the attention they've given it.
Which ratings? Just checked Neilsen and didn't see it in any of the top 10.

I admit I'm not a fan but am amused by their reaction as i am a supporter of SFA.

So... A random youtuber is claiming it?
 
Oh, sweet Jesus. Not him.

Tachyon Pulse's top source: his Mum downstairs watching mid-arvo Eastenders reruns.

Bit like Daniels in Enterprise. And he was from ... a century before this show? While obviously not near the power level of a bona fide Q, he seemed more than capable of their basic parlor tricks (traversing space and time at will).

I thought it was a bold move to fling DISCO into the distant future. I was intrigued by the possibilities. But rather than explore them, they opted for the laziest route creatively by nuking the future to accommodate Burnham and co.

Just like any other century, except nacelles are detached and tech has 'programmable' in front of it.

I assumed you would watch and actually hear his sources.

He was citing Paramount Plus' Top Ten Lists versus the Nielsen ratings. The American and European collections.

5th to 1st in Europe and trending.

6th in the UK.

We may not have to go that far, audiences need the drama after all, but the 31st century should be depicted as fantastical to us as our timeframe would be to somebody from 1026 AD.

And that's absolutely fantastic Bro! I went in hard to drop my weight in my early 20s but if we had those GLP-1 drugs that easily back then I'd have spent half the time at the gym :lol:
