News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

All we have to go on for Section 31 is its 180-million-minute premiere week (don't quote me on that figure; it was somewhere around there) per the usual analytics sources. Wasn't the most dreadful outcome imaginable, but it was beneath what we've frequently seen for new-episode weeks of Picard, DIscovery, and Strange New Worlds.

Those show numbers are always going to be inflated to some extent by their total number of episodes, but, like... how many people are actually watching the first season of Strange New Worlds when a third-season episode premieres? Not many, I'd imagine, but that's not the sort of information that anybody here is going to have access to. Probably.

Suffice it to say, Section 31's reception (critical, audience, the whole shebang) has been truly dire. So, yeah. That's not good.

Getting back on topic, I will say this, though: I would be very happy with a TV movie showing President Archer and the early days of the Federation. But my fear is that the current production values will make it look exactly like the Section 31 movie, which looked exactly like DSC, which looked exactly like PIC. Get my drift? The producers seem to have lost all sense of understanding of time-period-specific settings.

exactly like the Section 31 movie, which looked exactly like DSC, which looked exactly like PIC.

None of those shows looked the same :/
