Spoilers Season 5 trailer

I spotted an Orion in the TAS outfit.

Dammit, I wasn't going to watch the trailer because I didn't want to spoil any of the jokes but then I watched the trailer and man that looks so good!!

I mean it just looks like regular Lower Decks, nothing spectacular, but I love Lower Decks so I'm fine with that.
 
It doesn't seem like the people involved have given up on it getting a sixth season yet.

From www.denofgeek.com
According to SFX Magazine, McMahan told attendees that the fifth season wouldn’t offer closure for Mariner, Boimler, and the other members of the Cerritos crew. Furthermore, McMahan urges fans to “Watch the hell out of the show when it airs.”

He hopes they’ll watch it not just because they’ll find lots to enjoy in the show’s rapid-fire humor, but also so that frequent re-watches may give the show a second life. Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman reinforced this position when he told fans, “Watch it twice because actually it does register. It will matter.” In other words, frequent watches register with Star Trek’s studio Paramount (which just so happens to be going through a bit of a change at the moment). And if Paramount sees a demand, and money, in Lower Decks, there’s a chance that they might bring it back.
“Look what you did for Prodigy,” Kurtzman reminded them; “do it again.”

Good things don't need to come to an end quite so soon if there's enough fan support to keep them going.
 
Simpsons. Futurama. Family Guy.

Don't want Lower Decks to outstay it's welcome and become a gaggle of trite unfunny jokes for years. Let it go and be fondly remembered.


Trailer looked like fun. Still hoping for William Boimler to come back.
 
Better to be left wanting more than overstaying the welcome.

I don't really understand this line of thinking. Where is the line between wanting more of a show and a show overstaying it's welcome? With shows like Simpsons and Family Guy, those shows have been going for at least 20 years and most of those seasons had 20+ episodes. With lower decks, it's 5 years, 10 episodes each. I too didn't want Lower Decks to be The Simpsons or Family guy, but of all the trek series, I thought Lower Decks was the likely one to go the longest. It just seems like there were much more stories to tell with this series and at least 2 more years (Taking it to season 7) would have been fair. I also think Lower Decks was one of the cheaper shows to make because it's animated and the voice cast doesn't actually need to be together.
