As disappointing as it is to see it end, 5 seasons is a decent run, and I’d rather it end before they “jump the shark” or just fizzle out.

Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting “Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!”

I don’t know. We only got like 10 x 25 minutes episodes per season. That’s not a lot of content.

I enthusiastically disagree. Lower Decks needs to boldly go and jump the shark more than traveling back in time to save a whale or talking to an old microwave that became a god.

Lower Decks is the kind of show that needs to cut to black for the last time right as cool Boimler on water skis is approaching a shark.

I really enjoyed the live action cameos the two cast members did on SNW. Hopefully there will be more Trek work for them.

@reddig33 @startrek Well we know Tawny Newsome is on the writing staff of the “Starfleet Academy” series, so she’s still lurking at least behind the scenes. 🙂

“While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”

Indeed, if even an animated series is ending after five seasons, I expect this to be a pretty firm maximum moving forward.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,”

That’s encouraging.

I’d read a comic series. Hell I’d even pay for it.

Nice, def picking that up. You know what would also be amazing? A series of audio episodes, like BBC style radio comedies. The voice cast is sooo good. I’m just imagining how amazing a collab with John Finnemore would be.

I remember liking the caption that any story is improved by the addition of Dracula.
