      Well, they did five years of Lower Decks. I would watch more Lower Decks. I’d say there’s a need for that.

      So do I need more Twny Newsome Star Trek workplace comedy? I need it in my cardiovascular system this very minute, yes.

        I swear, I’m always baffled by the whole “did we NEED” this piece of media.

        I don’t even know what they mean. Was the world in 1982 going “Oh, thank God, I had been looking for an ET everywhere”.

        You don’t know if you wanted to watch a thing until you watch it.

      Do you know where you are commenting? And surely you mean “another Star Trek work place comedy,” because we already have DS9.

        Don’t care. Like star trek, but this sounds like an awful idea and a flop that will just dilute the brand even further. The live version of her character and Quaid’s was great. I wish they would land back on SNW or something.

          For the record, I hated maybe the first five episodes of Lower Decks, while they were mostly just trying to do Rick and Morty in Trek. I do think they found their stride and now the concept of a stand-alone Trek comedy makes a lot more sense, especially from some of the same team.

          Whcih I would much prefer over another season of SNW trying to make every episode the wacky, weird viral one instead of having a baseline of episodic sci-fi antology.

          I get it, it’s harder to get that balance right with so few episodes, but SNW is WAY closer to jumping the shark than Lower Decks ever was. If you’re going to do a Trek comedy, do a separate show.

          do you only claim “the brand is diluted” when Black people are in charge of a project or do you also do that for every mediocre project that was majority white but still did well?

          unless you’re Stamets and you already saw all the future Trek projects I don’t understand how you’d know whether they’re good or not.
