You know what I really loved about this ending, and it hit this really cool emotional thing with me.
At the end of the Original Trek movies, the crew was retiring, the Enterprise returning to be recommissioned, it was an end.
In Deep Space 9 there was the question of whether Sisko would return. Voyager the journey ended.
With Lower Decks, it was simple, life goes on, the voyage was going to continue, they were going to continue to have adventures that we might not see, and even though the Captain was gone, the ship was in good hands. Life goes on, it was the coolest way that this show could go, and this crew that had really waited until the last possible moment to become what you would call a cohesive crew was going to be ok, and they would find a way to face anything.
It was a kinda cool message, and that last scene of the ship disconnecting and pivoting away from Star Base 80, and the red glow of the Warp Nacelles reflecting off of the saucer section was really well done.
