The sci-fi franchise is approaching 60 years old and sure feels like it. Paramount+’s Section 31 movie tanked (a 16 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes). The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was meh (dropping sharply from prior seasons to a 53 percent audience score). The only person who sounds excited for the upcoming Gen Z-targeted Starfleet Academy is recurring guest star Paul Giamatti (one wag on YouTube wrote the show’s trailer looked like “TikTok space prom”). Sure, a new Trek movie is in the works (from the writer-directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), but c’mon, do you care?
