I want to see live action cetacean ops or I will start a riot.

The whole appeal of Star Trek is the exploration of strange new worlds & situations.

Over arching plots should serve that appeal. relationships but in space are not the reason why people watch. Challenging actors are great and all but eyeballs are why you do it, right? And what if your actors aren’t all up for it.

I would have much rather not had a “see you next yr space cowboy” moment and had one less musical.

To cut at climax, just appears like the show runners didn’t really know what was going to happen next.
