    Don't forget - it's Star Trek day. With several interesting looking panels scheduled later today. So if you are into that, have a look https://ca.startrek.com/day

    If you are not into that, then I guess, do whatever Smile

    Its possible - it looked like some native streaming app on their website, which I figured they'd dump on youtube after the fact. But it probably makes sense it was a youtube integration. The numbers just look so low, my guess was the 'live' views weren't included in that, only views after the individual clips were uploaded.

The numbers just look so low, my guess was the 'live' views weren't included in that, only views after the individual clips were uploaded.
    I suspect that the numbers would have been higher if the event were held on the weekend, instead of in the middle of the work day here in the States, especially with it being the first day back to work and school (home schooling in many places) after the Labor Day holiday. These panels would have been something that people would have wanted to interact with. So, watching after the fact doesn't seem like it would bring in the same kind of numbers.

    Star Trek may be damaged...maybe not...by new Trek on CBS All Access, but with the circumstances that I put forth above, I don't think that we can read too much into the viewership numbers from the Star Trek Day panels. Just my opinion though.

    Just my two cents - I think that this was all 'cbs all access' rather limited viewership too. I just found out about it by accident, it seems to have been very poorly advertised (outside of cbs all access). It's kind of weird that they seem to lay exclusive claim (at least that's what it felt like to me) to all of Star Trek. According to one of the panels, after it starting showing on Netflix for example, DS9 brought in a whole bunch of new young fans.

    Honestly I very much doubt the viewing numbers for some chat-show style panels aired on YouTube will accurately reflect how popular the franchise is as a whole.
    It's extremely unlikely 99.9% of the fans even watch this sort of thing and yet people still tune in to watch the shows regularly in huge numbers.

    These sorts of things are not indicative of how popular something is; the same as conventions don't really reflect how popular something is either. The vast majority of fans have no interest in them but still like the product.

    I'm not the type who likes to sit through long panels, I usually just read the cliff notes version on reddit or news sites with the meaty stuff.

    I agree with all the comments above. The timing was terrible for those of us in the western hemisphere that work day jobs and/or are dealing with kids trying to do remote learning from home. Similarly, stripping out the in-person aspects of a convention just turns this into watching behind the scenes commentary, and such commentaries usually only attract a niche audience. Most of the rest of us will probably just look to summary notes from others unless there are viral clips that emerge (so far I haven't heard of any) or watch it over the weekend. so looking at view counts now for a sense of the "health" of the famdom is likely highly misleading.

    Wil Wheaton is the host for the panels? Oh no. Sick

    I used to like him quite a bit as a person, until he started shilling so hard for CBS in the last few years that his tongue now has a permanent residence inside them. His interviews with the casts of the new shows made my skin crawl.

    I'll give them a miss.
