LD was great, it worked well as a genuine love letter to the franchise let’s leave it at that. We don’t need a comedy, or a romance, or a drama, thriller, sitcom, etc. spin-off of Star Trek.
They’re going to Star Wars-ise Star Trek and kill the franchise the same as Disney is by over-doing it (and Marvel) into the ground.
They’ve cancelled Discovery, Prodigy, Picard, Lower Decks, and you’re worried they’re going to over-do it? If they do it much less, there wont be any Trek left!
Sure, I’d understand your sentiment more when all those shows were being announced, rather than after they’ve all been canned. Right now we’re looking at ten episodes plus the Section 31 special in the coming year, which doesn’t seem like over doing it to me. But I was raised on seasons of twenty-plus episodes, so maybe I’m spoiled.
Huh, I thought I’d heard Netflix cancelled it, but according to everything I see on Google they just haven’t announced anything one way or the other. It’s been long enough that I wouldn’t hold my breath, though.
Star Trek always had some levity. And all the other new Trek has always felt too serious - they’ve been constantly saving the Federation/humanity/Galaxy/universe. If they need to make a funny show in order to tell a funny story, then fine. Go for it.
You mean like SNW which is peppered with regular jokes about the captain’s appearance, especially hair? Especially the musical episode where the Klingons aggressively sing and dance “why you only call me / when you got your problems”. Took that one pretty far.
The Orville was never funny, and it got much better when it stopped trying to be. Star Trek has a pretty good track record with humour. Especially where Newsome is concerned.
I noped out of that show after the episode where the entire engineering crew spends an hour trying to access the ancient secret data vault that is…some girls iPhone. Trek definitely has better humor as well as poignant and serious topics.

Am I remembering this correctly or is this from the Mandela universe I’m originally from…after the reboot of Battlestar Galactica finished, they made a prequel to it which was a soap opera/personal drama set on Capricus or whatever the planet was called? For some reason?
Why am I also reminded of the Geico cave man commercials that some idiot also made a TV show about?
Please, no.

Yes, the fact that they had 4 shows to cancel at once is a sign they are over-doing it .
I’m fine with waiting years before we get another Trek, it’s nothing new.

Was Prodigy canceled again after it was revived for a second season? Or is there still a chance for a third season?

Every reddit-brained geek said the same thing about LD and then ended up liking it so I’m glad Paramount isn’t listening to the fearful fans.
Risk is our business!
That is exactly what I want to see. The Star Trek universe is one filled with such hope, and I want to see that in a day to day capacity.
I think Lower Decks handled it perfectly and if the same crew can produce a live action show in a slightly different scenario then I’m in.
Besides one show isn’t going to kill Star Trek. Star Trek has some real stinkers out there (and a new one is coming in January).
i donno if they could do it without making it season 1 discovery levels of pettiness.
Didn’t The Orville already cover this anyway? Without screwing with an existing franchise for jokes.

I think The Orville improves over time - I initially hated both Isaac and Gordon, but they do good things with them later.
