This and SNW are their only good shows. You can easily tell from watching Lower Decks that the show runners love and get Star Trek. Hopefully they have been given enough time to wrap up the series the way they want.
Oi, don't forget Prodigy!
I started watching Prodigy this year and I was honestly surprised at how good it was considering I don't generally go for shows about kids.
Sometimes I feel so out of touch with society. How can you cancel a show as good as this?
Shows often get terrible with time.
Maybe itβs for the best it ends on a high note?
Maybe, but I feel like the show still had a lot of stuff to explore.
Lower decks is such a fantastic exploration of the universe of star trek.
It adds more than its own isolated contribution to the federation universe!
Literally the embodiment of star fleet.
I had written so much more, vut it van be simplified....
Voyager eventually had to come home, every star trek series has had it's final goal.
Every ship has a lower deck crew of unsung hero's - that's at least 6 ships to explore (maybe more, maybe less... I don't mean to faux pas). Never mind significant engagements (is movies)
This makes me sad, but it also may be for the best. Lower Decks is great, but it has one of those premises that relies on the characters remaining stagnant. I don't really want to watch 10 seasons of these characters being junior staff while still being at the center of the most significant events on the ship, or have Mariner's character regress every few seasons so she can relearn the difference between questioning authority and self-sabotage. I'm not saying that's happened yet, but they had to promote the characters once already. There's only so long they can go before either their lack of development becomes a problem or the characters have to stop being Lower Deckers. I'd rather they end too soon than too late.
Yes but, who says the show couldnβt evolve around its cast and follow them on their path to become officers? Iβd certainly watch that. Would even be interesting to see some slightly higher ranked non bridge officers do their thing in their daily lives.
This had better come back 2 or 3 times like Futurama.
Underrated advantage of animation β¦ voices donβt age that much.
Noooooo! Why! Can't we take a some of the money completely wasted on discovery and use it on lower desks?
Why? Were the numbers terrible or something?
Which numbers do you mean, the numbers of people who enjoy it or the numbers of people who are willing to pay Paramount a monthly fee to watch it? Because the latter is the problem, and they think this will save them money, but they are fucked. Paramount Plus does not have enough programming for a lot of people, myself included, to justify their monthly fee. Their selection is paltry. I love Star Trek, but not enough for that.
Paramount is a mismanaged mess currently in search of a buyer. Itβs ridiculous considering the franchises and back catalogs it owns.
It's going to destroy Star Trek in the near future. Like the end of TOS did and like Insurrection did. But at least it keeps bouncing back.
This was always a problem and something that I fear is going to curse streaming until it dies. Everyone saw how well Netflix did for itself, and wants a cut of the pie, failing to realize that Netflix's success was entirely because the pie was all in one place for people to enjoy.
All these smaller streaming apps that fizzle out after 2-5 years would have made more money for themselves if they had just negotiated out licensing deals with Netflix or any other major shareholder. Exclusivity is anti-consumer and sooner or later anti-consumer tactics will kill a product or service as soon as something better comes a long or the consumers decide they really don't need it.
Lower Decks is the only reason I subscribe to Paramount. Although I do it strategically: wait for season to end, subscribe, watch it all, unsub.
Ahhhhhhh, that was my favorite one. So much fun.
Noooooo!
