I have good word from :quark:, it just wasn't making the bean counters happy enough anymore.

Is... is this the light at the end? Picard and Discovery ending? :sicko-wholesome:

    I tried using paramount plus yesterday to watch an episode of voyager (scientific method) and it was packed with ads. Wtf! Paramount stock has been in almost continuous decline for years, so if people are actually watching nutrek, there just aren’t enough of them.

      We love Trek and all but it will always be a very niche franchise. The premise that Trek could be a flagship show big enough to sustain a streaming service was always pure copium at best.

      Paramount is currently making an insane amount of money between Top Gun: Maverick, Yellowstone and it's various spin-offs, the new Scream movies, and the Sonic movies, not to mention they have new Transformer and Mission Impossible movies coming out this year

    ngl I just kind of assumed it was already cancelled, the last time I heard anyone talk about this show was season 2 and the mind numbingly dumb red angel shit. I bet the real numbers for people who kept watching after that are extremely funny.

    Kurtzman has also teased the development of another potential spinoff, Star Trek: Academy, which would focus on a new generation of young cadets.

    No goddamn it. I thought his contract was up?

        I don't even dislike the character of Michael, I just hate how much the show focuses on her instead of any of the other characters. Classic Trek was always an ensemble show with all of the senior staff getting their own character development and adventures.

        At this point I feel like I know more about Keiko Obrien than I know about Discovery's doctor.

        To be fair she was raised by Vulcans, who know nothing about stoicism and suppressing outward displays of emotion

    Honestly more than it should have gotten. Tbh nothing should run longer than five seasons anyway.
