It's certainly the best episode of the streaming era by far. It's criminal it took this long to figure out how to do Star Trek properly when they had 700 episodes to use as a reference before inflicting STD and the first two seasons of Picard on us. Between Picard Season 3, Prodigy and, although I'm not a fan, the good reception SNW first season got it looks like things are starting to finally come together. Jettisoning the awful STD is another move in the right direction.

Why? If it’s a show you don’t even watch why would you care? “People lost their jobs because a show I don’t watch got cancelled. Great news”

Because it defined and represented an approach to Star Trek storytelling that spilled into other series. It was also aggressively rubbish, much like Picard.

I’m watching S3 Picard now and personally I don’t think it’s much better. But if the cancellation is a rebuke of how Star Trek has told its stories for the past half decade - good.

SNW and Lower Decks are much better.

Obviously I’m not wishing ill for the staff and hope they land on their feet.
