Star Trek: Lower Decks to Conclude with Fifth and Final Season

Sounds like the sort of terrible decision that Paramount would make.

This and SNW are their only good shows. You can easily tell from watching Lower Decks that the show runners love and get Star Trek. Hopefully they have been given enough time to wrap up the series the way they want.

Sometimes I feel so out of touch with society. How can you cancel a show as good as this?

Lower decks is such a fantastic exploration of the universe of star trek.
It adds more than its own isolated contribution to the federation universe!

Literally the embodiment of star fleet.
I had written so much more, vut it van be simplified....
Voyager eventually had to come home, every star trek series has had it's final goal.
Every ship has a lower deck crew of unsung hero's - that's at least 6 ships to explore (maybe more, maybe less... I don't mean to faux pas). Never mind significant engagements (is movies)

This makes me sad, but it also may be for the best. Lower Decks is great, but it has one of those premises that relies on the characters remaining stagnant. I don't really want to watch 10 seasons of these characters being junior staff while still being at the center of the most significant events on the ship, or have Mariner's character regress every few seasons so she can relearn the difference between questioning authority and self-sabotage. I'm not saying that's happened yet, but they had to promote the characters once already. There's only so long they can go before either their lack of development becomes a problem or the characters have to stop being Lower Deckers. I'd rather they end too soon than too late.

This had better come back 2 or 3 times like Futurama.

Fucking Paramount...

Why? Were the numbers terrible or something?

Ahhhhhhh, that was my favorite one. So much fun.

Lower Decks is the only reason I subscribe to Paramount. Although I do it strategically: wait for season to end, subscribe, watch it all, unsub.

Noooooo! Why! Can't we take a some of the money completely wasted on discovery and use it on lower desks?

Noooooo!
