“Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?”

Also, little-known fun fact: the cow is a full Lieutenant.
In which media format? Stupid Paramount+ is going to have its stupid “not commercials” at the beginning of episodes, which might bork the timing.
As it’s Tawny Newsome, I’m giving it a chance.
My dream trek show, though, would be a semi-anthology that explores different crews (mostly non-Federation, but maybe one), sort of like if LD:”Wej Duj” was a series. Each crew would have a self-contained 50 minute plot, and then you would have them meet up for a finale (hopefully in two parts) with a meetup of each crew.
The one episode idea I have would be called something like “Cetacean Ops”, featuring a Starfleet vessel commanded and mostly staffed by aquatic (and some amphibious) life forms, except for main engineering. In addition to exploring what the heck whales do in the Federation, we could explore the dynamics of how non-aquatic and aquatic crew interact and try to prevent loneliness.
Relevant xkcd:
I’m excited for the Lower Decks one.
For SFS, though, “classic film” is one euphemism for it. 😆
