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.
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.
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.
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. π
@billmason @startrek @reddig33 buy and hold onto your blu rays.
The world couldn't handle a full 7 seasons of LD
@imnapr @startrek Too much greatness for their bandwidth. π
Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now
Indeed, if even an animated series is ending after five seasons, I expect this to be a pretty firm maximum moving forward.
That's encouraging.
I'd read a comic series. Hell I'd even pay for it.
Have I got news for you
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.
[Boimler scream]
Dammit. This will leave SNW as the only Trek series? I like SNW a lot but two series would be nice given how short seasons are nowadays.
Prodigy soldiers on for now, and Starfleet Academy is in pre-production, set to start filming this summer.
Replaced with Star Trek Upper Decks?
Yeah, they're technically not even lower decks anymore since season 4.
Could you imagine if that is the long con here? Iβd love that.
Well looks like I'll be filling unemployment π π€£
Oh no.
Edit: In case Iβm coming across sarcastic, Iβm not. I loved LD probably the most of the new batch of Star Trek shows. It was just a joy to watch.
At least there's that.
It's still surprising that Lower Decks ends so soon. It's well received and should be reasonably cheap to produce. Why would they axe it?
@billmason @startrek Such a shame. βΉοΈ
Boo!
@billmason @startrek nooooooooooooooooooo
Lower decks live action series? Pretty please?
Awww i love lower decks!
It's Marin-over.
That's sad. While I didn't enjoy every aspect of it, I quite enjoyed it overall. I'm happy to hear season 3 isn't supposed to be the last for SNW though.
