Star Trek Social Club

I can honestly take this, though I do want more Star Trek content. I will continue to watch the show, but it's really asking for a lot of suspended belief in each episode. A random sampling of my problems with the show:

1. You take fresh, untrained to partially trained students, put them in a mobile school, and then intentionally fly that ship full of children into known dangerous areas of space?

2. We've had decades of the best in Starfleet fully commissioned officers solving complex problems, and the academy is full of professors and other well educated professionals, yet with every weird anomaly, the approach is, "fuck it let's let the kids handle this one"

3. Terse negotiations with a previous and potential new member of the federation are done as a spectacle at the academy in front of the students and almost no other high level members of Starfleet, instead of literally anywhere else?

There are many more, but at some point I had to just turn my brain off to continue watching. I'm not used to having to do that so much with Star Trek.

That's a shame. There were certainly parts about the show I could nitpick, it is far from perfect. But I enjoyed it. Glad to at least get a season 2.

If someone had told teenage me that there would be star trek and star wars that not only would I never see but never care to see. heck sci fi in general. its wild.

I am genuinely happy to hear that Alex Kurtzman is leaving the Star Trek franchise, fuck that guy.

I have watched all of trek except TOS (just a few famous episodes only).

I just couldn't get into this show and that's okay, I don't need to love every show. Sad to see less Trek as there should be Trek for every type of audience but if they are cancelling then I'm guessing the show didn't find its mark with people.

I don't know how to appeal to younger audiences, there are people smarter than me to figure that out but I hope to have a trek for me again someday.

The algorithm felt it wasn't hitting the right taste clusters

”…the show failed to find its significant audience.”

Put a show on a streamer that is targeting a completely different audience, and let the entitled vocal fans run wild with unchecked brigading, and then be surprised by low “crowdsourced” ratings.

Sigh.

This is depressing, if accurate, in that it may also be a signal that the new owner is looking for a new production company to manage the franchise just when things had finally and consistently stabilized with Secret Hideout.

I’m not hopeful for an SNW continuation in a Year One show, or Tawny’s project either.

My kids and me love this show 😩

Im so sad

Oh man this is really sad. I liked SFA way more than I thought I would. The cast was top notch, and they had some good stories. Genuinely sad to see this one go.

Well, I'll be damned. The hate campaigners seem to have won, despite solid signs that the show was actually doing quite well with the target group — internationally, if less so in the US?

This is very sad news, the show seemed to go from strength to strength in its first season.

Random reactions:

• Disappointed but not surprised.
• Even though the article leaves this an open question, I will be surprised if Kurtzman returns after this.
• At least they didn't memory hole S2 as a tax write off.
• I wonder if they will attempt (and be allowed to attempt) to rework the S2 'cliffhanger-ish/lite' ending into something else, or if it's just impractical to rework a "part 1 of 2" episode into a 1 episode contained story.

Well, damn.

There's inevitably (and understandably) going to be a lot of speculation about what, exactly, led to this decision, but...in the absence of any further information, I'm just going to be bummed about it.

WHAT?!??!? NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Does that mean we're not even going to get a nice ending for season 2?

Hopefully they had enough of a sense it was coming to wrap things up.

Ellison death-to-woke is underway.

Next up: Rambo reboot
