Better hope that's wrong.
Because otherwise LA is going to collapse under it's own weight as the filming industry falls apart.
Some network shows still have 20+ episodes per season. I wonder if there's a reason networks don't really commission sci-fi shows anymore. Or, inversely, why Paramount/CBS believe that Star Trek must be a streaming original.
Good.
Long story short SNW must hit it out of the park with S04 or Trek on tv is gonna go into forced hiatus again.
Yeah but, I mean, come on... It's IMDb.
(That was my favorite episode of that season.)
"The Elysian Kingdom" is my favorite of season 1, as well. Wonderful episode!
Did William Ware Theiss make any remarks that are known, regarding whether he was aiming for anything campy or to do with camp, with any of his costumes for the shows?
It won't, it's a major tent pole of Paramount's franchise first thinking. The new owners announced it so.

Starfleet Academy Nielsen Ratings Show a Complete Disaster for Star Trek
The Nielsen ratings for the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy two-episode premiere are in — and the series failed to chart.thatparkplace.com
According to this, it couldn't muster 1.27M views for each episode in its debut and can barely even make the P+ internal charts.
Is it fair to call these ratings a "disaster" as the article says?
People can dismiss the source, but the numbers are the numbers. This looks bad.

By my accounting, Picard season 3 peaked at 400 million minutes, while every single show in the top 10 the last 2 weeks was higher than that, which means None of the Trek streaming shows would have made the top 10 list the last 2 weeks.
That's a far bigger issue than Star Trek, though. It's a little unfair to put that weight on Alex Kurtzman or Star Trek. Decisions about such things are made much higher up the food chain.
As someone who actually lives in LA and sees the hard time folks are going through, this is a stupidly glib answer.
As someone who works with people struggling with mental health and some of those being Hollywood professionals and the stress they are constantly under there is a reason why I'm a bit glib.
And that’s why you wish financial ruin on your patients?

I don't wish financial ruin on it, but I see the stress the Hollywood industry brings to people, both people in the industry and impacted by its products. It's concerning to me the amount of anxiety and related disorders I see around that output.
Not sure if the collapse of their entire industry would actually bring about any sort of relief regarding their anxieties and disorders, though. Seems like the exact opposite, a more stable industry with less existential uncertainty and more relaxed working environments would do the trick.
Captain Hikaru Sulu of the Excelsior would like to have a word whilst he sits in his command chair with his cup of tea and a hobnob.
