Sucks to see Paramount mismanage the brand over and over again.
But, hey, I still got the 90’s shows on disc, so they can’t take that from me.

My favorite episode is Janewaystown with that catchy song “The hero of Calindra”
Indeed
This is why they will not release the 90s shows on 4k BluRay. They don’t want anyone to actually own copies.
They dont want people to own anything.
They want you to pay 10/month, then $12/month, then $16/month, then $22/month, on and on forever instead.
They’re following Rule of Acquisition number 10: Greed is eternal.
Why have your money once when they can have it forever?
They convinced young gamers that this is Business As Usual. SaaS should never have bled into consumer goods. It’s a scourge.
I’m guessing it’s got more to do with the cost of rescanning and upscaling footage for shows that don’t have mass appeal.
That sounds like some kind of… service issue.
Giving Lower Decks five full seasons was more than I expected, tbh.
And Discovery’s last season was decent. Strange New Worlds has held up. They could be doing better, but they’ve been a lot worse.
I can’t wait for Disney to buy the franchise and we can finally have the Star Trek/Star Wars crossover that we all deserved.
Monkey’s paw: JJ Abrams is involved in the creative process.
Coming soon to a theater near you…
Don’t you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!
All Good Things…
…must be ended by short-sighted executive meddling.
The modern production house simply hates animation. That’s the only thing I can conclude from how they’ve axed every anime, kid’s cartoon, and live-action/cartoon mash-up on the slate.
They are going to lock Bugs Bunny in the vault and throw away the key.
They are going to lock Bugs Bunny in the vault and throw away the key.
Amateurs, he’s going to appear right behind them for comedic effect.
Screw all of the executives, all they care about is money
Who’s vision is getting handsey with the female cast?
Hey, I didn’t spend my career working up to network executive for nothing.
Meanwhile, they’re pushing ahead with a Kelvinverse Star Trek origin story movie, the film exactly zero people have been clamoring for.
But… Star Trek '09 is the Kelvinverse origin story movie.
Exactly. I don’t know what the hell they think they’re doing, but it’s totally unnecessary.
Zero people except for the executives, because they’re highly profitable
I’m not that surprised. The show’s very nature gives it a limited shelf life. Part of the fun of Trek is watching the characters develop and advance in their careers. Eventually they’re gonna get promoted past what can be called lower decks.
I’m a bit pissed off that they’re canceling this and going ahead with the section 31 project, but I find section 31 to be tedious at best, and that it undermines Star Trek’s message at worst. “Your utopian post-scarcity society that celebrates diversity can only exist because of these unaccountable fascists slinking about behind the scenes.”
Section 31 was a cool concept in ds9 because of the context around it.
Every other time 31 shows up is just… Blech. Feels like those writers want to be writing something bloodier than star trek and this is their way to do it.
My biggest gripe with discovery was the secret plot to blow up the Klingon homeworld foiled at the last second. Almost turned me away from it entirely but they got much better. SNW is up there with TNG for me now.
SNW is very fun and much more like star trek
Well. There goes the only reason I had paramount
I just buy a month once a year and binge the nacelles off, but I refuse to actually subscribe.
I’d actually much rather see a good show end at a good spot rather than be dragged on and on until it’s bled dry. 5 seasons isn’t a half bad run.
Same. I love Lower Decks and really would hate to see the Paramount squeeze the IP until it’s like a will-they/won’t-they Mariner/Boimler pairing to boost views.
On the other hand, if Rutherford and Tendi don’t get together and be really cute by the end, I am going to riot.

Absolutely criminal, unless we get a spinoff with them as senior officers where they do more important missions. I’m not holding out hope though
With the Texas class disaster, they create a “Arizona Class” ship which is partially automated. The lower decks group becomes the bridge crew - and the only crew on the ship. They think they are in charge, but the computer and a shadowy group of scientists are actually pulling all the strings. Can they prove that they are the real ones in charge?
That would totally work. You can bring in Section 31 William Boimler and reference the mess they made with AI in Disco season 2
So Star Trek: The Bridge, not to be confused with the game Star Trek: Bridge Crew.
Star Trek: Upper Decks, or STUD.
That’s my hope, or at least more of this type of show. It was pretty successful and a good reason to at least have more silly animated Star Trek.
They already make cameos in other serieses, so those characters can live on in canon, too. Like DS9 had a lot of TNG in it.
Six seasons and a movie!
We really needed a Boimler/Mariner trip to the 31st century or even a Tendi/Rutherford trip forward.
I could care less.
While you may have picked up what the other comment was putting down, the statement you are looking for is: “I COULDN’T care less.” Meaning you care so little you are at the absolute zero point of fucks to give😁
True, but look at it like this:
I already care very little, and but the possibility of caring even less is there.
