This show was honestly such a special gem. 💜💜💜

I’m going to miss all the cleverness, great writing, and loads of fun. I wish I could be friends with all the characters. Boimler and Mariner’s relationship is so wonderful. I want IRL friends like all of them. 🙃

So long Lower Deck.

Engage the core.

    Wasn’t this the highest rated nu trek? Smart move by paramount to kill something so popular.

    We demand 7 seasons!

    I did too! Watched it on initial release but skipped the finale, then watched a second time with the finale. Like a lot of Trek it is even better the second time, there is a shocking amount of attention to detail for a silly cartoon.

    My favorite aspect that LDS really nailed was that it regularly turned a Trek trope on it’s head, and the “twist” in so many episodes turned out to be a positive well-intentioned misunderstanding instead of an ulterior motive.

          It certainly has its differences. I’ve really enjoyed SNW. Discovery had a lot of good, but plenty to counter balance it. I’m glad they wrapped it up because it really really needed to.

          Now… this Section 31 movie? I watched the trailer. And… as much as I hate to say this because of how much I love Star Trek… I think I’m going to skip that one. Normally I watch everything out of devotion. Yep, that means watching some pretty bad stuff. I just don’t know if this movie has any redeeming qualities though.

          I love Yeoh, but I really don’t like the Georgiou character much. And this movie takes place in the part of the Discovery timeline that I just didn’t dig so much.

          I don’t know. Maybe.

          I’d hate for there to be some Star Trek I didn’t watch .

    Man what are the odds??? I just finished the last episode today too! I’ve been dragging along on this last season because, ya know, last season and all, but it did certainly end with quite a bang.

    It’s my favorite Trek since DS9. I need to re watch it. I was annoyed by Mariner and Boimler during the first episodes. But they had fantastic character development that made the first episodes necessary.

    Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

    The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

    My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

    5 seasons and a movie, make it so!
