Back to semi-seriousness. Right after the Ktinga in that trailer, there is another ship that looks suspiciously alike the SS. Botany Bay. I hope that isn't the case; too much revisiting of Khan already.
Yep, looks fantastic. I would fully support them cancelling everything else and diverting all budget to making these 20-episode seasons.
Well, we can keep Lower Decks too, but I imagine that's fairly cheap to produce anyways.
Do this, do this now! And once you're on season 4 contemplate the new ship new crew idea set ~60 years post picard. Don't show any legacy characters at all, reserve them only for mentions in historical context.
Plot line could involve the Breen, a new race somewhere on the border of the gamma quadrant, or perhaps even a separate galaxy threat with new species (new federation? Similar ideals?) owing to the advancement of technology like transwarp? Or a resurgent Hirogen civilization that has recrystalized owing to the Holographic technology and begun an empire?

I just remember La'an is a Noonien Singh, which I don't think you tie her to that without exploring any Augment legacy stuff.

Great aesthetic as usual, I just hope I can unsee the Shat when I try to accept the new Kirk who gives me Paul Rudd + Adam Scott vibes.
Interiors are great but I'm still not a fan of the outside of the re-imagined 1701. Weird vent lights along the front of the saucer, weird nacelle angles, weird Excelsior tail flap on top of the saucer.

That's the whole series in its entirety, in a nutshell. "Stuff happens." It's a series of plot points flimsily strung together by an incredibly thin thread.
Was it great to see the old Enterprise-D one more time? Yes. It was awesome. Did it make any sense? Very little.
The best scene in the entire series is the end: our seven main characters shooting the #### and playing poker. It's the only one that felt genuine.

- I cant explain it, but when 'The Last Generation' came on the screen...I got chills.
- President Chekov? Hell yeah.
- Hilariously cheesy villainous "Nooo......!!!!" Sure. Why not?
- Everyone magically goes back to normal? Yeah. Sure.
- I pathologically loathe anyone and everyone named 'Jack' now.
- Enterprise D? Objectively the best.
- "Special Counselor to the Captain??" GROOOAAAANNN...
- The theme music playing them out? Hook that nonsense to my veins.
- 7of9 being the new Enterprise Captain? Pure schlock
That episode was stupid, lazy, bad and ridiculous and I think I loved almost every minute of it.
Thats...what being a Star Trek fan is all about.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I think I tangentially called out the post-credits scene a bit:
Spoiler!
With respect to Q "dying" at the end of season 2, I said this:

When I first met you I was only a scant billion or so years old; I'm tens of billions of years old now..."
When Q remarks, "And here I was hoping the next generation wouldn't think so linearly," I felt like I was being patted on the back for my insight last year.
I'm on my second viewing of the finale today, and I'm skeptical on whether or not it is good enough for me to watch it a third time before bed. I might put it off to tomorrow.
