With Starfleet Academy concluded, and no other Star Trek coming up directly behind it, I'm considering covering FOR ALL MANKIND's 5th Season starting on 27th March. I've always loved the show and with ex-Star Trek alumni Ronald D. Moore and Joe Menosky on the creative team, well written and with great characters, I feel there is some Star Trek DNA in the recipe. If I started up some FOR ALL MANKIND content, would you guys out there be into that? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Today I hit the achievement on my channel of 14 million views. Thanks everyone for watching my content! However I have yet to hit 50K subscribers! Crazy, right? Everyone is watching but only a fraction of you guys are subbing. Please sub and help get the channel to the next milestone of 50K subscribers!

Over the past three months I’ve produced a series of videos on my channel exploring Mike Sussman’s Star Trek: United concept. In that time they’ve pulled in over 150,000 views and thousands of comments, and what’s striking is just how overwhelmingly positive the response has been. That kind of engagement has comfortably outpaced discussion around current Trek shows like Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy. It’s rare to see this level of excitement so clearly aligned, and it says a lot. Star Trek: United feels like the Trek many fans have been waiting for.

With only 700ish views for my last Star Trek: Khan review video I don't think there is sufficient interest in this series for me to continue reviewing it. Is this correct?
