That’s the end of Lower Decks?

Paramount doesn’t know how to handle the wonderful IP they own…

I loved Lower Decks, and I hope somehow those stories continue. Did people who are new to Star Trek enjoy it, too?

As an aside, I think that was something that made Prodigy fantastic: it was a serialized program with episodic stories that didn’t require any understanding of Star Trek beforehand. The main characters weren’t part of the Federation, so the audience got to learn alongside them.

I met someone who actually got into TNG because of Lower Decks.

I had never watched startreck and i loved lower decks. I did know enough to get some of the basic references, but im sure some went over my head.

In all i think LD was a good starting point for me. I enjoyed the humor and how it didn’t take itself too seriously.

I’ve since tried another series (enterprise since it’s the first chronologically) and its fine though i do wish it was a bit more fun. I’m hoping I’ll enjoy some of the other iterations a bit more, and am looking forward to rewatching lower decks once I get back to where it’s at in the chronology.

Definitely don’t watch chronologically. Enterprise is the last show I would use to get anyone into Star Trek. Even the original animated series would probably be better lol

@cybervseas @TheAlbatross LD might be harder for new people because there are so many call backs to other series and storylines. This stuff delights us trekkies but might be as great for new folks. @allstartrek #allStarTrek

That’s tough. It can’t go forever.

I hope they take the things people loved about it and do more.

It could have gone on for longer though. They had more plans. The finale shows they had tons of options.

The stuff coming out in the pipeline just seems kinda… well, Strange New Worlds was pretty good, I’m looking forward to more of that.
