STAR TREK: SNW IS BACK, BABY!

I was offline all day yesterday, so I didn't catch this news until last night. It was a punch to the gut that capped off what was already a lousy day.

I'm beyond grateful for the show and the joy it's brought to my life, yet gutted to know it will be ending (even woke up in tears this morning). Yet as some have pointed out, SNW's been given more grace than Discovery, Lower Decks, and Prodigy got. It's good to know this was always the plan, and that the creatives have plenty of time to give the show a proper end.

I'm disappointed in the timing of this announcement, though. I think Paramount could've sat on this for a few more months, but it's possible they were spurred by leaks (and not for the first time). (I'm not excusing Paramount, mind you. I still wish Star Trek had a better home.)

Another disappointment is that SNW will end after 46 episodes - even less than the runs for Discovery and Lower Decks. While I love (and been grateful for) this run of Star Trek, I hate this trend of 10 episode seasons. Sure, we get clunker episodes with 20+ episode seasons, but we also have story and character development. I can only hope that a lot of it gets packed into these upcoming three seasons of SNW, because I feel like we barely know this crew.

I'm sure I'll feel differently as the premiere gets closer, but at the moment, my excitement for Season 3's been dampened.

As sad as I am right now, I'm grateful to have three more seasons of SNW to look forward to, along with Starfleet Academy and Tawny Newsome's comedy show. Star Trek lives on, but I worry about the state of it. If we're heading into another Trek void, at least we have more episodes to enjoy and cherish.
