    It’s a bummer, but then Pike’s story has an end we’ve been approaching. Albeit, it was something like 10 years total before his destined disaster, so there could have been a few more stories to tell. At least they have some time to try and wrap things up.

      I’d rather them end cleanly with a clear story ending, than to continually stretch it out passed its welcome.

      I’m just bummed that the Trek I love most is coming to an end. I have absolutely loved everything about it, even the musical episode (unpopular opinion, I know, but I was a theater kid). I would have adored 7 seasons and 3 movies, but I get that we knew the ending before it started.

      A bummer? Sorry, but I’m solidly of the mind that they got exactly as many seasons as they should have, and that this is a good thing.

      We’re no longer in the era of television with 22 episodes per season and seven or eight or nine seasons. Five seasons of the show feels like an excellent fit.

        That may be true in general, but it’s not a hard and fast rule. Do you really think Lower Decks was all tapped out? Another season or two would inevitably see them jumping the shark?

        I get why seasons make more sense with 6-12 eps than 24, but I don’t see why the number of seasons needs to be shorter as well.

          I’m pretty happy with how Lower Decks ended with us wanting more instead of getting run into the ground. It’s not so much tapped out as… Done. I think SNW will be too.

            Yeah I’m happy with the ending too, but I just don’t think having another season or two before that time would make me wish they had less of it.

            The shows back in the day like TNG had some crap episodes here and there, but that’s because they were rushing 26 episodes per season. It’s not like all of season 7 was bad because they should’ve been done before that.
