Episode was called "Living Record" or something like that. That episode was probably one of my favorite Voyager episodes.

It's also probably a pretty accurate depiction of what happens with history a lot. Many of the "worst" emperors of Rome had their histories told by their rivals/enemies - if you lack enough context or additional information and all you have to rely upon are those records, then it becomes difficult to dispute the "official" record.

Not that I was going to be watching it anyway, but refresh my memory, this is the show where the fat chick from Discovery who somehow gained a dozen ranks over two years time is their main instructor?

That said, SHOULD Paramount give a shit if I'm going to watch it?

1. Will less of our age group (dudes who are already out of the 18-49 demo, or rapidly getting close to doing so) watch this than, say, a Strange New Worlds spinoff? Probably.
2. Will more younger audience watch this than they would, say, a Strange New Worlds spinoff. Also probably.
3. What is the additional value of hooking a 20-something into watching Star Trek / paying for a Paramount+ sub, and doing so for another decade into the future, than making someone already in the fandom / subscribed "happier", which nets Paramount no additional revenue? Now there's the tricky calculation.

TL; DR - Paramount giving their subscribers Strange New Worlds and a Strange New Worlds spinoff will likely result in less total subscriptions now and into the future than giving subscribers Strange New Worlds and something like Starfleet Academy, even if the former audience doesn't want the latter show.
