    Lower Decks remains very good. CBS has tried to pivot Star Trek from Sci-Fi to Space Adventure, and that’s been ugly. But not every series they’ve spun out took that tone.

    Also Orville - particularly the latest season - has been incredible. Everything Star Trek is supposed to be.

      Lower Decks remains very good.

      It’s finished. The final episode aired last week.

      Also Orville - particularly the latest season - has been incredible. Everything Star Trek is supposed to be.

      That show surprised the hell out of me, especially because the first season has more of Seth’s typical touch, but then he drops some of the silliness and dives right into being a Trek replacement. It feels like every episode or two has some powerful commentary and things don’t always go the way you think they should because situations are more complex than simply right-or-wrong… Like old Trek.

      I am still bummed Lower Decks is over. Great finale, and I’m glad they wrapped up the story nicely. My only complaint is to Paramount not giving us more seasons.
