‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Season 5 Voice Work Resumes; Tawny Newsome Tells Us About Recording Return
The actress tells TrekMovie: "I'm so happy to be back doing these doing these roles."
Lower Decks is my favorite.
I had low expectations when it was first announced, but now it’s the only series I actually look forward to
When I knew it was Mike McMahan who ran the TNG S8 Twitter account, I had total faith. He's a true fan, he wrote the show with reverence for the material despite it being jocular in tone, which is impressive and what made me fall in love with the show.
@easydnesto @canis_majoris Mike is a superb brilliantly innovative interpreter of Star Trek ... Lower Decks is a beautiful and rich addition to the Star Trek canon.
It looked like some Rick and Morty inspired cash grab from Paramount+ to fill out their streaming line up, so it was immediately passed over by me and some friends. When it got a 3rd season I realized it was probably going to last and started watching it when I can.
I wanted to get Paramount+ for it but their other Trek stuff is hot garbage for this TNG fan and it feels like paying for just one show would encourage them to continue fucking up Trek like they have. At least I have good friends who don't mind subsidizing Rick Berman's flavor of boomer space action.
I've never been a huge fan of "adult animation", or really animation in general. So I had to get over that hill of bias. But once I did, I found I enjoyed this show. Those Old Scientists on Strange New Worlds is actually what made me go back and give Lower Decks a second try.
Anyway, I'm excited to see where season 5 goes. I also kinda want another live-action crossover.
This show, like most trek, really found it's footing after one or two seasons. The characters have depth and personality and don't just exist for sake of the jokes.
I still struggle with some of the crass humor, but that's because I'm rather particular about what I find funny. The last season was particularly good on character building and they did set it up for a very exciting new season indeed.
I would love for them to do a cross over show again but Roger Rabbit style.
@IonAddis @USSBurritoTruck I have a hard time with animated adult shows too. The plots always seem too simple, like sitcoms. I recently tried to get into Attack on Titan. Liked the concept, but the shows were very simple and predictable. Same thing with Love, Death and Robots and Lower Decks. (Love the other Treks, but predictable plots lose me.)
I honestly think that Lower Decks has the potential to be the longest running Star Trek show.
I assume they are cheaper to produce than the live action shows so less risk for the executives but still decent return on investment.
I certainly wouldn't complain if we got LDecks for years to come.
the character have so good chemistry together it is curious to think they just each record their stuff separately
@USSBurritoTruck I love this show!!!
I stopped caring when Amazon Prime required you to buy Disney+ to watch THEIR FUCKING ORIGINAL
