Star Trek: Lower Decks

IMHO yesterday's episode had a better story than I have come to expect out of Lower Decks. More believable. BTW - it was the1st half of a double season finale.
The first season was closer to the tone of Rick and Morty, but it has really turned into a real Star Trek show, love when that bring up past stuff from other series.

The Vulcan has been a good addition to the core 4 group.

Already renewed, thanks to the long production, next season was already written and voice work already finished, so it should come out after Star Trek Discover’s final season, would of been SNW, that show only filmed 5 episodes with a lot of work still needed from the cast, ADR mostly.

Disco isn't due until Q1 2024 or maybe April so that's a ways off. The latest buzz on SNW is late 2024.

I've canceled my Paramount+ subscription (effective sometime next month) until something new happens on the Star Trek front.

I went and watched the ST:TNG Season 7 Episode “Lower Decks” as Mariner refers to another lower decks ensign, Sito Jaxa, who was featured in that episode. Sito Jaxa was part of the cover-up that almost got her and Wesley Crusher expelled from the Star Fleet Academy after Nick Locarno convinced them to lie about performing a banned maneuver which killed a fellow cadet (covered in ST:TNG Season 5 Episode “First Duty”).

A good deep-dive into this episode is over on Comic Book Resources:

Now it’s the Cerritos turn…
 
Has anybody caught the 1st two episodes of season 5? I forgot about this on the 24th and nobody mentioned it here.
Watched last Thursday.

I was not that happy with the show when it premiered all those years ago, now, will be extremely sad when it finishes up this year, amazed how much it has grown on me.

My feeling exactly. I couldn't watch it until 3 seasons were out, and then I had to do some backfilling. It was just too unserious for me back in the early days.
 
I appreciated how they made Star Trek: The Animated Series canon. They were not afraid to pull from all the shows and made some pretty deep references. In the last season where they made light of the fact two characters from two different shows were played by the same actor, leading to Rutherford asking, “Doesn’t he look like Tom Paris?” and Bohmler replying, “I don’t see it.”
