Honestly, I see no compelling need to see Lower Decks as live action at all. Yes, the SNW crossover was fun, and it was nice to see Mariner and Boimler in live action, but that's good enough for my liking.
SPECULATION for Last Episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10
- Thread starter Morpheus 02
- Start date
Does anyone else think that the Paramount Plus logo or aome version of Paramount Corporate will be represented in the scene in the intro where the Cerritos flees Federation enemies battling?
I would be totally fine with live action if they want to go there. It worked so well on SNW. Maybe since it’s that last one they could talk Wells into it since she was the only holdout based on interviews.
I do kinda hope they don’t go with a legacy cameo. That it’s just 30+ minutes of the Cerritos crew. But I know better so…
Chief O’Brien helping them save the day would be a perfect callback to S1.
or if they really want to swing big, do one last BIG cameo…have them travel to Bajor and appeal to The Emissary for his help. Getting Brooks…even for a minute would be a bigger coup than Shatner (all things considered).

Um, it’s going to be whatever they came up with before they knew the show was getting cancelled. Plus eight extra minutes of them shoehorning in something at the last minute to make it have some sort of proper ending. I’m not sure why people are thinking there’s going to be live action or shitloads of cameos.
"The finale is bonkers. I love finales, and if you watch other Lower Decks seasons, you know that the finale is always about the Cerritos being a character and the people protecting it within it. Like in one season we strip the hull… There’s always something celebrating the Cerritos in the finales. And this is the ultimate expression of that. And it’s a series ender and it’s a season ender, and it’s a love letter, and it’s a thank you to Star Trek and a thank you to fans and a thank you to Tawny and Jack and Noël and Eugene and everybody but it’s also—it’s not The Sopranos. It’s not the end, right?" - Mike McMahan
That makes me think the ship itself will be pretty important somehow. Maybe the ship needs to be sacrificed to save the day. Maybe the koala will take it to save the universe and say "It'll be my chariot!"

Dammit Boimler!!!!!
The “Benny Russell” ending but with Newsome and maybe Quaid writing it would actually be kinda awesome. But I don’t think they would de-canon the series.
Loads of Cerritos together would be good. Include a live action one, a TAS style one and one with a disheveled crew who have lost a war against the Pakleds.
Shitload of cameos could still happen since it's a season finale to a season where the multiverse was a central arc. But yeah, there's no reason to expect live action. Unless there was a plan to briefly show a "live action verse" to really mess with canon-obsessed fans.
I'm not going to multi-quote as so many, so many but:
- The argument that there weren't going to be cameos as this was a normal finale falls down if it's borne in mind that 5.9 was a normal episode and was replete with them. That being said, yes, it could be that the cameos were aggregated into there as 5.10 had something, or someone, bigger.
- Unless they can redress the sets from Disco or Academy, there ain't gonna be any more live action.
- There was mention elsewhere of a showrunner saying they were "getting someone who doesn't pick up the phone for Star Trek" for 5.10. Unless that was an error and in fact they were referring to Jolene, then there is still the potential for a bigger name. I can't find the second-hand quote now and the original source wasn't linked.
- If we are going to get Multverse O'Briens together, then could we have each of them all still being the CPO rank but each wearing the various different inconsistent insignia he wore throughout the Berman Era.

Meaney would be in the "won't pick up the phone for Trek" category.
No, he wouldn’t.
He always enjoyed his time on DS9, and I have faith that he would return for a cameo if asked (and if he liked the script).
