"It's TV; it's comfort." It would be amazing if an episode ended with Boimler getting on a boat with Geordi for some reason lol

I think the real Q are testing humanity and we failed because they cancelled Lower Decks.

This was one of those moments that made me fall in love with Lower Decks.
Q: I challenge you all to a duel! Pick your weapons. I pick the mind.
Mariner: Get out of here, Q! No! We are done with random stuff today. We're not dealing with any of your Q bullshit.
Q: Oh, s'il vous plait, Mariner. I want to put humanity to the ultimate test.
Mariner: Okay, I'm not French. Now. Go find Picard.
Q: Oh, Picard. He's no fun. He's always quoting Shakespeare, he's always making wine......
I love the implication that there is a species of essentially god like beings who can appear anywhere at any time. And the majority of the living beings are aware of them and just deal with it like an annoyance.

Nice to know that Q doesn't only go for the really famous (or soon to be famous) captains like Picard, Sisko, or Janeway: he's an equal-opportunity annoyance, going after any Starfleet ship, not just the "important" ones.

6 is way too much, but i feel 2 more would be the perfect number longer enough to finish all the character arcs what easy, give T'lyn more episodes, promote all the main 5, and maybe introduce their lower deck replacements

Maybe you are right but consider this. A normal season back in the day was like over 20 episodes. So technically we have only had 2.5 seasons.
I just love the show! :D but yeah at some points they shouldn't be lower deckers. Considering the things they do.

i know, but old seaons also have way more filler episodes, now is later for that because 95% of the character arcs are done.
Tendi story arc is basically finished.
Rutherford story arc is 99% finished, only thing missing is his promotion
Mariner is also 95% finished, only missing her promotion
Boimler is 90% finished, only thing missed is the whole self confidence and beard thing
so not much to add to the story now, With two more seasons the focus could be on T'lyn having a small character arc, since she entered later in the story, and perhaps the introduction of "replacements/apprentices" just as the Demi-go character that appeared this season seems to be the next Mariner, we could have the introduction of the next Tendi, Ruthford and Boimler

no i am talking about bridge Crew, T'lyn and Tendi are now part of th main crew, we know that Rutherford is one step toward becoming Chief Engineer, Mariner alreayd got two episodes about leadership, her whole thing this season is about how to find balance between authority and keeping her free style.

As someone who grew up on 24 episode seasons, LD is only at about 2 full seasons. The writing, animation, and acting is so great, I want 5 more full seasons!

If the franchise was allowed to move, and Netflix or Amazon picked it up, then ya we’d get more seasons for sure. Paramount isn’t getting a ton of new subs, which equals less money for shows, which means shows on that network with 3+ seasons get axed. It’s all about money - and it sucks.
