LD s2e6 “The Spy Humongous” (PADD shot) and LD s5e10 “The New Next Generation”

So, a continuation in the spirit of Lower Decks as it appeared in the Strange New Worlds crossover (live action) may occur in the future. Paramount, don’t screw this up!

Edit: early premise concerning the exploits of guests at one of the resort-type planets, with LD alum Tawny Newsome producing/writing

    Hmm. Not a great premise, but if Tawny’s got some creative control, I’ll take what I can get.

      I agree with you. Thinking on it, I wonder if that’s only a season 1 premise and they’ll eventually get beyond that.

      Now what would make it really interesting (but they probably won’t do) is if this comedy had a backdrop of a weakened postwar Dominion a.k.a this resort planet is in the Gamma Quadrant. It would be very interesting to use it to explore the new power structures that develop in the quadrant since the weakened power of the Founders. You could also showcase how Alpha quadrant polities interact with Dominion worlds (kind of like what we saw with the Karemma in LD “Hear All, Trust Nothing”) - we have an episode with Federation diplomats at the resort negotiating a trade deal, for instance (this could even be our excuse to bring in an LD character or two).

        I like it, not to mention the opportunities for cheeky puns/references. A local drink called a Ketracel-white Russian, for instance.
