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.
@cybervseas @TheAlbatross LD might be harder for new people because there are so many call backs to other series and storylines. This stuff delights us trekkies but might be as great for new folks. @allstartrek #allStarTrek
Except Moopsy. Everyone loves Moopsy.

I’ve seen people who were new to trek that enjoyed it just as much. The deep references just passed right by them, but they enjoyed the story lines and characters. When they did get a reference they were excited about it though.
@mikey @cybervseas @TheAlbatross @allstartrek That’s good. I hope Prodigy did well on Netflix so they can be tempted to pick it up. Fingers crossed.
