Except the Bester trilogy feels incomplete to me because the third book jumps past the events of the Psi War that JMS intended to chronicle in a TV series that never got made (or maybe in Crusade, which got cancelled prematurely). So there's this big gap in the story that's never been filled.

I was barely following OC when it was on normal cable and once it was moved to streaming, it might as well have been cancelled. Stabler can't be the single lead of a show and none of the other characters were developed enough for me to care about them. Productions are more concerned with...

I've seen a huge amount of positivity here for Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, Lower Decks and Picard season 3. There are always going to be people who dislike something about the new shows, but they wouldn't be here criticising them if they didn't love the franchise. They'd be making videos on...

I will simply disagree. The preference towards complaining is simply not in my interest any more. I'd rather people stop caring. No one seems to have any positivity anymore. "Strange New Worlds isn't canon!" and now "I can't believe Strange New Worlds is cancelled! How dare they! Paramount...

...to establishing shots of the Windy City. And those are all the yours and my Happy Days available. I read that the show was facing cancellation at this point due to being up against Good Times. When it was picked up for another season, it was retooled from being filmed (which is what gives...

Well, it was canceled at the time Nielson was starting to track viewer demographics anf while overall it was low rated - for its timeslot it was a top rated show with the 18-34 age group. Reports are mixed as to whether NBC had access to the demographics from Nielsen when they decided to cancel...

Prodigy was all kinds of awesome. I get what you are fetting at, but if the aim was to tell a good story iver 2 seasons, they succeeded wildly. Was original Trek also a failure?

Great post, very insightful. Some figures here I wasn’t as deeply familiar with. Thank you!

I agree, the entire "comicon" area of entertainment is struggling now, and indeed all professional entertainment. Doctor Who has just been shut down for at least 2 years In the 90s we used to bemoan things like preempting (in the US), or getting episodes years behind (in the UK). But things...

There is a youth TV series called Outer Banks which has been approved for a 5th and final season and is being considered for a spin-off, although the viewership has dropped significantly in the last season. The leading actors are all social media phenomena and the most popular actors have...

This is still a better situation, at least for the moment, than 2005, though? Surely? You said “all we have”, and then you mentioned five television seasons’ worth of upcoming content, plus a maybe-maybe-not on another show entirely. 2005 was a bleak moment in the franchise’s history. And...

This will be a bit of a late comment but I still want to write. As an American production, yes Netflix has series that it cancels after two seasons, either because the viewing rates are low. Or they cannot agree with their producers on the budget. That is why Netflix has very few high budget...

it definitely seems to me CBS is trying to wash its hands of Star Trek . They cancel a bunch of Trek shows, more than they greenlight anything. All we have on the horizon is three more seasons of SNW (yay!) and Academy show (At least two seasons). I don't know if Tawny's workplace sitcom on...

1. Discovery - Canceled, but ran a fairly robust five seasons 2. Lower Decks - Canceled, but ran a fairly robust five seasons 3. Picard - Ended at three seasons, as was planned 4. Strange New Worlds - “Canceled”, but given a fifth season to wrap; another case of a fairly robust five seasons...

I'd argue that if Paramount+ can't find a way to make money on Star Trek, they likely can't make money off of anything (excepting the Yellowstone franchise I guess, which is way cheaper to produce). Also, franchise cutbacks are happening across the industry right now (See Disney's scaling...

Skydance has nothing to do with CBS/Paramount+’s actions so far. All five shows cancelled/ended prematurely/written off for tax reasons/etc., one show whose future is uncertain, and zero theatrical films on the horizon. Seems pretty clear to me how they feel about Star Trek. And if Skydance...

Knew this would be the case. 5 seasons is the new 7. A lot of people said when Disco was cancelled after S5 that didn't mean SNW would finish after 5 too, but I think it is just the way things are now. The bit that is a genuine surprise to me is the 6 episodes part - that's a shocker. I wonder...

Or maybe just a reflection of tv in a streaming world? We get maybe 10 episodes of a current Star Trek show compared to 26 in the TNG/DS9 era. Even in movies, we seem to get eg a Bond film about once every 5 years compared to every other year in the 1970s, 80s or late 90s.

It is coming through the dark…….. If we did do Sherlock type of 90 minute episodes (which would be a sad state of a once grand 13 episode seasons) would we back at “trial of the time lord” brink of cancellation?

Yeah. Too bad they are canceling it after so few episodes. We'll be at what 46? Took a long time to get that many. I also fear the show has just became a vehicle to get the TOS crew together. It's mostly the TOS crew at this point.
