‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview

[andrewrgross@slrpnk.net]

I largely reject the notion of "canon".

Others can enjoy canon if they like, but stories don't need it, and plenty of great ones have well known, obvious paradoxes.

I'll just add the famous Dwayne McDuffie piece on this, "Six degrees of St. Elsewhere". RIP McDuffie.

I did really like it the first 2 seasons were great, & i thought the 3rd was a bit overly serious but still enjoyable.

Lol okay that makes sense. Maybe I'll try jumping around a little more instead of powering through enterprise. Any recs on which to start with?

Strange New World, despite being a prequel, is a great place to start. Deep Space 9 is also really good for learning about Star Trek, and it's probably the best written overall. You could also watch a Best of the Next Generation marathon. I'd recommend that over watching the whole thing, because TNG really shows it's age sometimes.

The most important thing to remember is that most Star Trek shows take a little while to get off the ground. They usually find their feet around season 3 (that's when Riker grew his beard).

Okay cool, i appriciate the recs its kind of fun knowing there's so much content to go through & such a huge base of fans
