    I want more lower Decks, but like… After a few years have passed. The main cast are still on the same ship (even if not the cerritos, but seeing them at slightly higher ranks with Ransom in command would be interesting) but I also think the show ended in a good place.

    I REALLY want to see some TV-MA style section 31 show. Especially if we aren’t sure if the main cast are actually the bad guys or not. Anti-hero style, but like… Actual anti-hero, not “good guy but they swear” type.

    Also I’m sure they could make a medical drama, although I doubt I’d watch it… Heck, set it on the USS Pasteur with an older Dr crusher in charge.

    Ooh a more action-oriented show following a crew during the dominion war would be awesome.

    And set up a 24/7 livestream following the crew of the Lower Decks in a Borg ship. I’m sure it would be riveting

      Fuck it. Let’s take this in a strange direction.

      Give me Star Trek HGN. It’s a live show featuring a guy in full Ferengi make up hawking actual items you can buy, each either an actual piece of Trek merchandise or some oddity or curio that can be passed off as some interstellar artifact.

      I dunno, I feel like the charm of Lower Decks was that it was about low rank schmucks.

        What if it was primarily from the perspective of the new Lower Deckers? (The prior characters, now senior officers, being more rarely appearing.)

      I really liked the idea of Starfleet Academy. The show we got has problems, but it still mostly works.

      I think a medical drama show would have issues because one main issue of medical dramas is “lack of”, be it lack of people, lack of supplies, etc. But in Star Trek world you wouldn’t have a lack of anything. Although if you make it animated with really weird medical problems and/or set it somewhere like a warzone, maybe it could work.

        A Voyager-like scenario would work. A new part of space, not explored, new diseases, actually limited resources (unlike Voyager).
