We will not see any ratings for Star Trek Discovery from this point forward because it's on CBS All Access. But we will still be able to track ratings on The Orville. I really don't think the regular paid viewing audience for CBS All Access because of STD is going to be that much. It's like SGU, with it's 900,000 or so viewers. Millennials are not going to get Star Trek easter eggs. Everything is going to be lost on them.

I like his review . Just nails it ...
It's like they made this with all these changes and ASSUMED all the loyal Star Trekkers would automatically line up because it's Star Trek and that's that so let's get on with changing everything to appeal to Millennials! They resurrected characters like Sarek, Harry Mudd and icons like tribbles without ever giving any backstory on them. That's because they are bones thrown to us, the real Trekkies to pick up. No, not having it, sorry!
I mean, like...the central character they want us to care about is this Michael Burnam, right? Why the hell would anyone care about her, except to know her location at all times to prevent her from going batshit crazy somewhere on the ship?

CBS problem is they are so invested in STD they can't publicly admit it is a fiasco. Add in that no one but them will know if it is actually a success due to it being only shown on their pay service and you have a recipe for it being declared a success and renewed no matter how few people actually see it.

Ehm. There's about 6.7 billion people outside of USA who could potentially watch it on Netflix. I'm sure those numbers count too.
Actually all those will determine is whether Netflix is willing to pay for another season and how much. I SERIOUSLY doubt they are going to shovel $100 million to CBS again especially after the whole imbroglio between them with Netflix saying CBS misled them on the nature of the show.

6.7 billion people aren't going to watch anything. Could we please get back to reality here?
As for the number of people actually watching this turd, well the fact is that the United States is the gold standard for ratings. I know you don't like it but that's just how it is. Sure, the international market is growing but America has yet to be usurped from its role as leader when it comes to these things. This show clearly is not well received in the US. That's something that can't be denied. Will it get a "2nd season"? Most likely, but that is only because TPTB literally have no other choice. They can't afford a public relations disaster right out of the gate so they will produce another season and they will fraudulently claim the show to be a success but the truth is it won't be one. The fact that it will hurt them financially is just something they have to accept.
As scifi viewers we've been down this road before, cupcake. TPTB for SGU tried to pull a fast one on the loyal viewers and were only able to get away with two seasons because that was arranged before the show even began. It sure as hell wasn't based upon viewer demand for more of that shit. And DEFIANCE got three seasons only because the producers had sunk 200+ million into the show. But people here in America didn't like these shows. So where was your 6.7 billion international viewers for these shows? If the ratings in Europe and sundry lesser countries are so important to the success of TV shows why didn't they do dick to keep these shows in production? I'll tell you where your international market was for these shows -- nowhere! Because A.) these shows sucked, just like Discovery does, and B.) at this point the rest of the world combined doesn't have the ratings pull to equal the United States.
So go ahead my friend, count on the fraction of the 13 million people in the UK to keep Discovery afloat. Hell, let's toss in the fraction of the population over on the Continent that might be tuning into this shit show. Wanna know what we got with all those Euro ratings? A canceled show.
Yes, she does that! Right in front of the crew of the Discovery in the mess hall, and NOBODY stops them. It isn't till the fight is over that the Security Officer steps in and her comment is simply "Hmmm...Vulcan Martial Arts?". This Burnam chick takes "Angry Black Woman" to a whole new level.

I guess that you don't realize that Starfleet is a military organization? It would not matter if 10 people were attacking. The proper response should have come from the large Security team that was in that Mess Hall. They should have stopped the fight as soon as they saw trouble. Given that she is the ONLY mutineer ever to be in Starfleet, seems to me she would be shadowed like a flea on a cat. They just let her wander the halls where she can play the Knockout Game whenever she wants.
You can't see this chick is crazy? What they are doing with her reminds me of Rush. Why would anyone identify with Dr Rush on SGU? This is supposed to be our PROtagonist. I don't like her, and I don't like Captain Lorca. The whole crew of Discovery acts like the teen Red Squad crew of the Valiant in DS9. "You can't sit here!"...."This station is assigned!". Too much catty bitchiness from the crew's females. But Burnham takes the cake.

Okay, right? This show came out the gate and the Trekkie audience immediately held it's collective nose and flushed it. CBS dropped some money on spin doctors and shills, but word of mouth killed it. The negative reviews are mounting much much faster than they can be silenced or hidden. And it looks to me like the Euros don't much care for it either. The first comment is a shill, and just read the following comments after that:

Yep, it's very simple: CBS All Access is specifically there to collect from US audiences, not anyone else. That's why they (the Euros) get it on Space and Netflix. If CBS All Access does not get significant revenue from this show's first season, they will be preparing for it's demise and replacement. And you are right, people in the US don't like this show.

Discovery needs to fill the pockets of CBS All Access, and only the US will be doing that. This first season was paid for by Netflix, but will CBS bankroll another season of this crap? Somehow I doubt it.

Let's do the math: She was a First officer for 7 years. We can safely assume she had at least several years in Starfleet preceding her stint as FO. I can't imagine someone would go from Starfleet cadet to FO in only 3 years, but let's be generous and give her that. That means she's been in Starfleet for at least a decade. But we're supposed to accept that all of her training and discipline is suddenly forgotten and she is now nothing more than a thuggish, cornered animal? M'kay.
