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.

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.

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

Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.

Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.

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

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.

Wait, it's being cut short? Noooo. What's its current status? I love SNW.

@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.

Insert hangmen meme with Pike and with Archer here
