[I am not Spock]

damn , it feels like the haters have won

no doubt they'll be crowing about the show failing to crack the neilsen top ten

 

[Turtletrekker]

Has any Star Trek that didn't star Patrick Stewart ever cracked the top 10?

 

[cooleddie74]

Nope. Even TOS was lucky to crack the Top 50 in its best weeks.

And its worth remembering as the article admits that this is just the US and it is performing better internationally and via Amazon subs rather than direct to P+.

If we get more of Academy past these two seasons, that would be great. But if we don't, I can be happy with the run we've gotten over the last ten years of the franchise.

Even if it did they'd find some way to disparage it and turn it to a win for their 'cause' well it was in the top 10 but only just or it never made it into the top 5 or it could be anything from these crackpots.

i get Paramount plus through Prime, and it says Academy is number 3 (i'm in Australia). SFA has been in the top ten on Prime every week

I can already foresee the canned responses from certain folks 'round these parts once they see that headline.

A couple episodes of Discovery did.

For whatever it's worth, there's a good chance SFA was doomed from the get-go, with the Skydance thing happening and plans to pivot to another movie reboot.

At no point during development did I expect the show to be as good as it is, though. If it does end with the second season, it's at least as big a loss as Prodigy.

 

[Mudd]

They recently changed how Neilson ratings are shown on Neilson's site, now instead of singular episodes they track by total minutes watched for entire series.

Meaning the 3 episodes of Starfleet Academy were up against the total watch time of 40+ episode series.

No.

 

[Fateor]

No.

Except yes.

The haters are beyond ridiculous now and would crow no matter what. If they truly believed these companies and shows were as bad as they say they would stop watching. Period. End of story.

But they don't because feeling self righteous and superior over liking the right kind of Star Trek is more important.

Even if it did they'd find some way to disparage it and turn it to a win for their 'cause' well it was in the top 10 but only just or it never made it into the top 5 or it could be anything from these crackpots.

Indeed..
The thought process is show me the non Berman era show and I'll prove it's a failure by any possible metric.

’Star Trek: Voyager’s Captain Janeway Shuts Down Trolls in Defense of Holly Hunter’s New Captain

Star Trek: Voyager’s Kate Mulgrew has a strong message for Starfleet Academy trolls claiming Janeway wouldn’t respect Holly Hunter’s Captain Ake.

In the post from Star Trek's official Facebook account, which announces that the sixth episode of Starfleet Academy, "Come, Let's Away," is now available to stream, a commenter suggested that Captain Janeway time travel to "bitchslap Captain Mumbles when she spots her lounging in the captain’s chair like she’s getting ready to watch the hallmark channel [sic] instead of commanding a starship," referring to Hunter's distinctive cadence and informal manner of sitting in her character's captain's chair. The commenter did indeed summon Janeway, but likely not in the manner in which he intended. Mulgrew's official account responded, "on the contrary, sending you and every other disrespectful troglodyte who insults my fellow Captain & Starfleet officer to the brig where you belong. Keep Janeway's good name out of it." Mulgrew signed off with a curt "Dismissed."

A sad reality but not one certain people will be able to see, it'll all be woke this and youtube that.

Same thing happened when the cw imploded and my beloved Arrowverse collapsed.

last two epsiodes good.

I've seen short clips with Zoe Steiner talking about her character, and I've been unable to place her accent other than "vaguely European." Does anyone know where she's from?

How is it that her age is apparently a state secret?

I was always taught it's impolite to ask a woman her age.
