I wonder if anyone will display concern that Una is in prison. They certainly did not in the Season 2 trailer.

Was there a trailer? All I saw was a clip from an episode. We’ve no idea where that episode falls time wise.
Indeed. And even if Una is still in prison in the episode that scene is from, why should the characters be talking about her at that specific time?
It wasn't a trailer. It was just a snippet of a season 2 episode.
I imagine that one reason they released that particular scene is that it gives no clue to Una's status and whereabouts, despite being a command crew pre-meeting for a landing party mission.
They're not going to tell us a thing about how her story goes from here, certainly not most of a year out.
It might not be resolved until several episodes in anyways. Nobody spoils Chapter 3 in an 11-chapter novel a year before it comes out.
Unless you’re George RR Martin and you release chapters a decade or more before even finishing the book
And whenever there is a Wedding you know what's ultimately going to happen to some or all of the guests...
Loki is the best of those seven series but yeah, those numbers aren't very big. Streaming shows now would probably give their left legs to achieve VOY or ENT numbers from over twenty years ago.
I wonder what this will mean for the lasting cultural impact of streaming shows. I think a lot of the younger fans of the legacy Trek shows today would have been introduced to them by their parents. With so many fewer viewers of streaming shows, there will be substantially fewer people to induct the next generation of fans.
I've never inducted a fan or been inducted by someone to become a fan.
I seek out things I think I might like.

And? Trek should appeal off of merits not fan salesmanship.
Merit is subjective to a substantial degree, and nobody has the time to try every show to see if they like it. Without awareness, merit isn't going to ensure longevity. I'd rate Disco and Picard over most of Berman-era Trek (can't speak for SNW as I haven't seen it yet), but their cultural impact and longevity will almost inevitably be substantially less because they have been seen by far fewer people.
Yes. I don't see the problem.
To some. To me, Trek has lacked that cultural impact for a while. My kids have no interest in it, and I don't feel a need to force it. I prefer joining them in their interests than insisting upon mine.
My wife and I also listened to FotH completely on every episode and occasionally sang along. We used it as the theme song for our 25th anniversary party in 2002.
Too early to say. Since Voyager got huge views on Netflix after being off the air for over a decade. There were as many people introduced to Trek through Voyager alone (fans sharing it with their kids and/or spouses) through streaming as there were viewers rewatching for nostalgia. I totally get that. I would introduce the to Voyager if I was trying to hook someone onto Star Trek. Its not as dated (TOS & early TNG) or as serialized (DS9 and late ENT)..
While Trek currently does not have the same cultural impacts the legacy series did, we’ll probably know more in a generation when younger fans have grown up and are able to pass it their interest in the show. Right now, of the three live action shows, SNW would probably be the most digestible.
As is the lack of a Season 3 renewal announcement (I'm sure it will happen, but still...)
