Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24
mrcleanup@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI just watched a fascinating documentary on Star Trek and they talked about how paramount kept trying to launch their own network on the back of Star Trek as it’s cash cow and how they kept failing because it was all they had on it and not enough viewers.
Problem solved by making all the different kinds of shows into Star Trek, I guess, but how are they going to grow a fan base if it’s all locked behind a paywall that only people who already love it will pay to get through?

You’re talking about the old UPN network?

And now Paramount+. Even now their strategy seems to be to fill it with Star Trek and wait for the cash to roll in.
