triktrek"We Didn't Know It Was The End": Jonathan Frakes On Directing Star Trek Discovery Series Finale
joeWas the show doing well at all? I appreciate that I might just be in my own little bubble, but I don’t know a single person that loves this show. Some people like it, but it’s always a milquetoast endorsement, like “It’s not bad” or “It seems like a good scifi series but it feels like Star Trek fan fiction”, etc.
I’m surprised they didn’t at least strongly suspect it was the end.
Especially when compared to Strange New Worlds, which is an, imo, amazing Star Trek series.
Value SubtractedAvailable analytics have placed it at roughly the same level of demand as SNW - often slightly ahead, but close enough that I’d call it even.
Madison_rogueThat's an interesting metric. Apparently the vitriol for Discovery is mostly contained to the internet.
This comes as no shock at all.
Brett@Madison_rogue The show retconned itself out of existence. They shot a series finale scene each of the past two years. Felt like they were keeping it going until SNW hit its stride so they would still have a “prestige” Star Trek TV show for Paramount+ and that’s exactly what happened.
