Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.

To be fair, 5 seasons has become a miracle for any scripted television to attain, period. Heck, even 3 is lucky these days.
Also, I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while and have written the ending in a way that allows them to end the show largely on their own terms.

I get the impression that they expected to be done after five, but they expected a full 10-episode run for each. They're on record saying that Paramount tried to cancel them after 4, and they were able to negotiate the abbreviated fifth season.

They can't carry it on forever, sadly. It's the nature of a prequel show.
Kirk and Spock's actors are currently older than Nimoy and Shatner were when TOS ended.

@Blackmist Yeah but they don’t look it. Deforest looked 70 in the first episode.

This is also true. WWII hit hard.
The days when doctors had a preferred cigarette brand didn't help either.

Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.
Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.

what i would like is a followup with Capt. Una, so we can separate ourselves from TOS.

Discovery was great, but felt like a space show with Trek slapped on sometimes. SNW felt more Trek than the others to me.

Let’s not forget that it’s thanks to Discovery that we got all the Nu Trek like SNW, Prodigy, Picard, LD, and Academy.
They pushed very different while keeping the core as much as possible, not without mistakes (aka the vast empty space inside
the TARDISDiscovery in the turbolift fight scene), but they did it successfully. And we should all be grateful for that.SARGE@startrek.website · 3 pts · 214d

EXACTLY. I sometimes have trouble rewatching TOS, early TNG or even Voyager today because of how cringe and uneasing some remarks or episodes feel today, even reminding myself that they were trying to educate people into not to misbehave sometimes, but still… and yet I highly respect all of them.

I agree with the second part.

Loved season 1 and also 2. Season 3 really wasn't progressive anymore and had a message about conforming. Such a stark contrast with the first seasons.

Season 3 was just pure riding on nostalgia without any message on its own. It's a hollow shell, which is really disappointing considering the first two seasons were so good.

Wait, it's being cut short? Noooo. What's its current status? I love SNW.
_Nico198X_@europe.pub · 3 pts · 214d
will end after S5
MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 214d
Oh, have I got spoilers for you… the story actually continues, with TOS!!

Awesome! Which episode is a musical one?

The fact that I can't even conceive of putting voyager over lower decks demonstrates that it's good they're doing different stuff and making something for everybody

@LoganFive @startrek@startrek.website @startrek@lemmy.ml My favorite as well, by a mile. I wanted it to run for a decade or more and transition into a similarly-styled reboot/retelling of TOS.

That would have been amazing. 😻

@Dyskolos Ends at season 5 but only with 6 episodes I think. They almost didn’t have a season 5.

@Dyskolos Yeah, why would you cancel gold?
