Tony and Laurie are joined by the Shuttle Pod‘s Matt Wright this week. They kick off with the latest news including a wrestler added to the cast of Starfleet Academy, more details about the Section 31 movie, and the addition of The Wrath of Khan to the National Film Registry. The trio then digs into their review of the Lower Decks series finale, “The New Next Generation,” and say a sad farewell to the show. Everyone loved the finale , had very few nits to pick, and celebrated all the great moments that tied together the final season and the series as a whole. They wrap up with a look at TNG’s Tamarian language, the history of the Klingon Bird of Prey, and a special about Christmas movies featuring Star Trek celebs.
That’s the end of Lower Decks?
Paramount doesn’t know how to handle the wonderful IP they own…
That’s tough. It can’t go forever.
I hope they take the things people loved about it and do more.
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.
It could have gone on for longer though. They had more plans. The finale shows they had tons of options.
