We live in a blessed time, with new high quality Star Trek like LD and SNW. Havent caught Prodigy, but also heard its good.

It’s too bad this is the last season of LD, but at least they’re going out on a strong note!

Yeah I’m kinda baffled and saddened that they cancelled LD while moving forward with the S31 thing…

I loved Michelle Yeoh as the emperor, a spinoff where everything is focused on her? Sign me up. Star Trek has space for a “darker” side of the Federation imho

Counterpoint: Star Trek with a “main character” is no good. Recent shows make that pretty clear.

  1. It’s not a zero-sum game, and one entry doesn’t have to die for another to live.

  2. From estimates I’ve seen, the viewership of “Lower Decks” is relatively low, second only to “Prodigy.” It may be very popular with people like us, but it doesn’t seem to generate as many viewers as you might expect.

The enterprise scrubdown scene looks promising to be hilarious. Absolutely love how lower decks doesn’t shy away from ragging on past writing decisions.

I chuckled at the Harry Kims from alternate realities all being ensigns with one lieutenant among them

“Hold up! This kims got two pips!” Man 10 episodes and only 5 seasons is lame

I’m definitely excited to see Lower Decks hopefully going out on a high note, but I’m definitely sad to see it ending.

As someone who only recently got into Star Trek specifically because of Lower Decks, I am curious what show Paramount is hoping will act as a gateway show, so to speak, for new viewers.
