Starfleet Academy is canceled. Does anyone care? [View all]

I just watched the two-part finale, not knowing it was canceled.

I thought to myself, maybe they could cancel this one and come up with something else.

Then, I found out it was actually canceled! (There is no replacement.)

As far as sci-fi goes, this show was insubstantial from the start. It's just a space opera with lots of emotion and teen angst in one scene, juxtaposed with action in the next.

They also cancelled Strange New Worlds. That show is great (except for all the dancing, and that one ep where they were singing).

It seems Paramount is more interested in being the Taylor Sheridan channel than anything else.
