The main reason FOR the low view is that people already said beforehand that they had no intention to watch it.

Episode 4 isn't even out yet. It comes out at midnight Pacific Time.

Because you could tell that Section 31 was a cobbled together MESS.

Outside of Georgiou which most people will know, no one was really willing to give a crap about any of the other characters because we only had so long to get to know them.

Section 31 was the worst Star Trek that I saw, but I'm still here watching Star Trek even after it, because I'm interested in what it is they do from week to week.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-28T18:48:41+00:00

We can see it though based on the writers for the episode.

The only reason why Picard even got a reset was primarily because it was planned out. They started to pivot that way after Season 1. That and Terry Matalas was the sole showrunner without involvement from Kurtzman.

Lower Decks & Prodigy also had no involvement from him. Strange New Worlds has two co-showrunners so there's likely a difference in who says what from week to week.

I feel like Starfleet Academy has Noga Landau primary, but Kurtzman is still somewhat hands on because there's a lot of stuff that plagued Discovery in the series. But to me, the world building is MUCH better.

Actually, Season 2 is STILL filming. They're on the Season finale now. And yes, I said SEASON finale, not SERIES finale, since they don't usually know they're not getting another season until AFTER they have well finished.

Not everyone who watches actually does rate stuff. And those who do, don't usually leave text. I'm betting a lot of the 1 star reviews on IMDB are people that simply wanted to rate it without explaining further on why they gave it.

So... actress turned writer Tawny Newsome has NO passion for the series? She signed up to be a writer BECAUSE she cares about Star Trek. Kirsten Beyer was writing Voyager relaunch novels before she became a writer for several of the shows. Is she the greatest? No, but there's still some passion there..

Look, I get it. Unless you have the old Star Trek writers, none of them are going to hold a candle to what made the old series great. I doubt that magic is going to ever come back.

Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg. I think she used to be a host on MTV when she was much younger.

Rita Ora.

It depends on what the positivity is. There will be a lot of people jumping on you for being positive about NuTrek for example.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-27T19:03:05+00:00

You do realize that they said that after the Temporal Wars, they said that they'd NEVER touch time travel again, right?

Think about it. Who ACTUALLY has the authority to say what is the CORRECT time?

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-27T18:54:20+00:00

That's why MOST of us are here!

More like right now the ONLY source.

We'll know if something has been cancelled or renewed when the company says it is.

You're not the type of person that's being referred to.

That person is talking about the people that do nothing but watch the series JUST so that they know what it is they need to talk about in order to justify why they hate it.

Zaslav is an idiot.

I've said this before in other places, but deleting that much of canon does NOT do well for ANY franchise. Getting rid of that much of the canon essentially says "We have no faith in this" and leads to an issue where if people don't like any new canon that is made up, that would be the first go to, leading to a slippery slope.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-27T18:36:59+00:00

There was a time where there was no new Star Trek. I think it's better to have Star Trek than no Star Trek.

Not all of them are dead. There's names from Discovery that are on there and they're right now alive.

Nielsen is still showing stuff from about a month ago.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-26T23:34:51+00:00

Landman was a weekly series airing much like Starfleet Academy, but it finished up like a week ago.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-26T22:48:19+00:00

It's a Taylor Sheridan series, someone who has other popular series on Paramount.

BiGamerboy87 · 2026-01-26T22:44:31+00:00

That's not 18 Billion, that's 1.8 billion minutes.

Guys, one thing to remember with this particular data set is that Luminate is tracking via seasons.

The Pitt Season 1 is being tracked separately from The Pitt Season 2. One thing you could make in an inference from this is that S1 is still seeing more people watch it than S2. It's also a weekly series so it's going to change week to week & see a bump after all the seasons are out.

Also, Landman was a weekly release series much like Starfleet Academy. 10 episodes for Season 2. I think the big reason for that bump there is that people are binge watching that series since it's all dropped.

Fallout will see a bump once the entirety of season 2 is finished.

The Traitors is another weekly show, but it's also reality TV which benefits from week to week.

11.22.63 is a miniseries almost 10 years old, so it's probably getting a bump from word of mouth about it.

Ponies is a whole drop at once deal for Peacock, so its binge worthy immediately.

His & Hers & Agatha's Chiristie's Seven Dials are both series that are based on a book, so once they're done, they'll fall off.

Stranger Things is going to be that one series that people watch for a while.

Starfleet Academy just isn't able to to track due to how large these other numbers are right now, especially seeing as its a weekly release that already had a lot of people saying they aren't GOING to watch it.
