Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons. #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW @startrek@startrek.website @startrek@lemmy.ml

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.

    I get the impression that they expected to be done after five, but they expected a full 10-episode run for each. They're on record saying that Paramount tried to cancel them after 4, and they were able to negotiate the abbreviated fifth season.

    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.

    Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.

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

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

    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.

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

    Let’s not forget that it’s thanks to Discovery that we got all the Nu Trek like SNW, Prodigy, Picard, LD, and Academy.

    They pushed very different while keeping the core as much as possible, not without mistakes (aka the vast empty space inside the TARDIS Discovery in the turbolift fight scene), but they did it successfully. And we should all be grateful for that.

    @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.
