Comment on Lower Decks Season 5 Official Trailer!

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…

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

I am only one viewer but I view it REALLY hard

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.

Also, just personally; I’ve never been a fan of a Star Trek having a “Darker” side. Most of the old shows that talked of S31 or a darker side was always rogue actors, and the Federation never openly acknowledged them. Go back to dismantling S31, not pretending its a necessary villian to achieve your goals.

That’s not a counterpoint that’s just like, your opinion, man.
