It looks like the upcoming Lower Decks season will be the last one 😭😭 I didn't have any expectations for this show but it has quickly grown to be one of my favorites. I'll miss it

I agree. I'm entirely speculating. But I am not hopeful, I'm just not. I'm sorry.

Would you react the exact same way if another Trek show was made for the middle aged, white, straight audience?

If it were sold by Paramount as "Middle Aged Star Trek" or "White Star Trek" or "Cis Star Trek" or whatever, yes. I have, aside from Prodigy, never heard Paramount, Vicacom, whatever, sell a Star Trek show as 'we're designing this show around this group of people.'

It instantly raises my suspicions.

And what happened with Prodigy? Nothing. The world carried on spinning and nothing happened because catering to a specific audience isn't a problem or problematic. It just means that a new audience gets to see a world with reflections of themselves that they normally would not be able to see.

I think you keep missing me saying that I hope it's good, I'm just not optimistic that it will be.

I probably am. Stressed about a few things and yeah. I am sorry if I came off aggressive or anything here.

We're good, dude! I told someone elsewhere in the thread that you're very passionate about this and I think that's a good thing.

I'm also just very particular about language which quite often doesn't help.
