I know I'm weird but I loved S2 more than the first and I was a massive fan of both the Lower Decks crossover and the musical episode. However I do love musicals, so that probably helped.

Granted, the LD crossover was good, as was the time travel episode, but there were too many poor/dull episodes in there as well. You cant afford many of them when you only have 10 to start with. I'm really hoping it doesnt go the same way as Discovery, getting worse each season.

I’m not a fan of musical episodes. They started out as a symptom of ideas running out, which is forgivable when you’re 5 seasons in to a series commissioned for broadcast 20-25 weeks of the year. Not so much when you’re only 2 seasons in to a show that only gets 10 episodes per year. At that length, there’s no room for filler and no excuse for a dearth of ideas on one of the most famous and extensive universes on TV. I think the SNW musical episode was good … for a musical episode. I still wish they’d done something with a bit more substance though. The LD crossover was really well done on the other hand. I think they worked through the differences in tone and pace of the animated show quite cleverly.

I very much hope that Star Trek: Legacy (is that a fan title?) gets made but I fear Paramount is doubling down on Discovery-era Trek and we are first likely to get a Starfleet Academy series after Discovery, given that they have been seeding the new academy since the start of the last season and even gave it a back-door pilot (‘All is Possible’, S4 E4).

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has already been ordered by Paramount, and begins production in 2024.

The title Star Trek: Legacy was apparently proposed by the Picard S3 showrunner (Terry Matalas) but doesnt seem to be going anywhere atm.

Yes, it was confirmed earlier in the year, when they switched it from a series to a film.

I'm looking forward to it.

Star Trek Discovery Season 5 (final season, 10 episodes) will begin airing on 4th April (2024).
