@Thisfox @startrek McMahan summary quote: "So, if you love Lower Decks as much as I do, I would say make sure to watch it and get people to watch it now. A letter writing campaign after a show gets canceled, it’s helpful, but what’s more helpful is campaigning to get more eyes on the show when it’s airing because it gives me the ability to push for more seasons."

@Ghostalmedia @appleenthusiast I haven't seen them yet either FWIW.

@StillPaisleyCat @ValueSubtracted I would say you can just edit my link into yours and take mine down if you want, I have no worries. Except that my post now has ongoing conversation under it.

Here's another review link BTW: https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-lower-decks-season-4-review-paramount-plus-1850789023

@NotWorthAssimilating @startrek Well Paramount+ still does not plan to carry it, but they're looking for a new home for it. The producers feel very confident the show will be picked up. It's just a matter of waiting to see by who.

@ipacialsection @startrek Don't we all! Apparently they're very confident it'll land somewhere.

I mean I guess they'd have to be confident to start releasing clips from it....

@maegul @USSBurritoTruck @startrek It's probably an homage to TOS. Their stardates were famously not consistently kept in any kind of order either.

@deafmutex @porthos @startrek Yes, the right to the first 10 movies at that point belonged to Viacom, who made them under license from CBS. But that's neither here or there to what Discovery was doing.

Also, the story that the Enterprise was changed in Discovery because of rights/legal issues has been debunked. https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-trek-discovery-enterprise-design-legal/

@deafmutex @porthos @startrek Discovery did not have a licensing issue. It was under the auspices of CBS Studios, which had all the rights to all television Star Trek properties at that point.

@CantSt0pPoppin @startrek So basically everything the article thinks we need to know is "we know nothing about it". That's...clickbait, basically.

@reddig33 @startrek Heck I'd watch it. TAS was my gateway into Trek.

@constvoid @startrek 4pm Pacific, 7pm Eastern.

@Lumidaub @startrek Yeah, exactly.

@Lumidaub @bflipp @startrek I think the point is that showing the episode is (possibly) the strike strategy. Since they can't have talent there to promote about what's upcoming in Trek.

@DrSuzanne @startrek Oh yeah, I've played that at some point. (Also, good job dad.)

@startrek @DrSuzanne I think so but my memory is somewhat vague now to be absolutely certain.

@maegul Brilliant! I look forward to trying this out next time I have something to say. 🙂
