We urge Paramount to listen to the voices of millions of fans who are yearning for more adventures in the Starfleet Academy. Renewing the show for a third season is not just a business decision; it’s about continuing a legacy, honouring storytelling, and nurturing a global community of Trekkers.
I don’t know, Im not a fan of the Kurtzman-era Trek. I’d prefer it if they’d create a series that’s closer in tone to the earlier stuff.
While that may be your view, I hope you’re not going to work against the show or shows like it either.
Because very many people who between 40 and 55 did brigade against this show, gave it very negative reviews, and discouraged others from watching it without watching a full episode themselves. To the point that Psychology Today wrote a feature article The Trouble With Review Bombing.
Anyone over 35 is not in the key demographic. I dare say that’s most 90s Star Trek fans and most of us on this board.
But if we go out of our way to say that if it’s not made for us we’ll attack it relentlessly so that younger, target viewers won’t even try it, then it’s not going to serve anyone.
And yes, I have seen the entire season of SFA. I watched it with my partner and one of our GenZ kids. And I have signed the petition.
Ok, so we’re all wrong.
They cancelled the show because no one watched it, despite free episodes.
They put the show on a small niche streamer that doesn’t have an audience in the demographic that the show was made for.
The show did much better on Amazon channels than on Paramount+ — ranking 1 or 2 across its run. That tells you that the problem is that Paramount+ has narrowed its audience to Sheridanverse fans, not that the show isn’t good.
Every show Paramount+ has tried to attract the younger GenZ audience with has failed. And the streamer is failing — which is why Paramount has been bought and the streamer will be merged with HBO Max.
That’s my take as well. I’ve only seen one ep and I liked it. I just haven’t found the time to get access to it bc I won’t subscribe to bullshit services.
oh, I’m sure the infantile writing and shallow characters had nothing to do with it.
It’s not that you’re “all” wrong, it’s that you insist nobody else is right to like something you decided you didn’t without watching it.
There were people who followed the show and liked it. The number of signers to the petition vastly outnumber the downvotes to my posts sharing it here. You can deal with that gracefully, or continue as you started 🤷
That is your opinion.
I’m a huge fan of Kurtzman and all the New Trek that he created. I love them all. I often rewatch Discovery, Picard, even Academy. I need it. I need this. The entire world is gone to shit, and his shows, his creations, are the only thing that sooth me right now.
These comments, like the one you just made, are exactly why Academy has been cancelled, why Discovery was cut short, and so forth.
I truly dislike Star Wars. And yet, you’ll never see me bitching about it in their forums. I don’t think about it at all until something about it shows up, and even then, I just ignore it and move along, like any normal person would do.
If you don’t like it, if it’s not for you, then just don’t watch it, but shut the fuck up!!! Let those who enjoy it, enjoy it.
Yes, “you’re entitled to your opinion etc.”, but do you absolutely have to ruin it for everyone else?!? You’re part of the problem here.
You, and all others with their continuous vile comments, bear part of the responsibility in the cancellation of a beloved, respected show.
It’s fine if people voice their opinions whether in agreement or disagreement.
From his perspective, you’re part of the problem because you’re advocating for resources to be spent on what you prefer over what he prefers.
So, what you’re telling me is, we should just take it like a good docile doggy and let all the new trek and its show runner be bullied into oblivion by trolls, incels and haters?
Because that’s exactly what you’re saying by taking their defence.
I’m saying you need to touch grass and let people voice their own opinion of a TV show.
This “shut up or agree with me” mentality is nuts.
Damn, I never said you shouldn’t like the show, or that it’s objectively bad. I just expressed my preference for the direction of future trek projects, in what I thought was a relevant thread.
You know it’s okay to enjoy something without making it your entire personality right? Leave your unfounded generalisations in the trash where they belong.
o you absolutely have to ruin it for everyone else?!? You’re part of the problem here.
So we’re supposed to watch bad TV for some kind of social conscience and responsibility? and if we don’t watch what we like, we are “The Problem”.
I’m getting an insight into modern Star Trek fans here.
No television show will make you feel as you did when you were a child, watching star trek for the first time.
I watched Star Trek the first time as an adult. I just personally find the writing much better and the characters much more believable in the earlier series.
Really a petition on a data collection site and an AI photo 🙄
Do you happen to know any alternatives to suggest?
Yeah. An actual image of the show. And a spreadsheet that is readable
