Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I find that I am less and less willing to invest enthusiasm in American productions as they don’t get enough commitment from their streamers to make it worth it.

Apple seems to be make two season commitments for most shows, but generally they are following the self-destructive pattern of Syfy. There’s only so many times one can be burned.

I'm with you, but at the same time I never had too much hope for this one so this doesn't come as a huge shock. The days of streaming services paying tons of money for prestige TV are largely behind us.

And sci-fi is the first against the wall.

Ugh sadly that's so true.
