This interview is a great read. I like what I see of Mike McMahan’s thought processes. I’m fine with “the snub” (LD s3e10) as an end to the Mariner/Jennifer arc. Lower Decks is in good hands. Long may it run. With longer seasons! (you listening Paramount?)
I really enjoyed reading this one, McMahan seems like he truly cares about the franchise. The part about basically making Orion from scratch was especially interesting to me. Also:
Q: Speaking of Prodigy — that show’s story is just a few years ahead of Lower Decks in the Star Trek timeline; Picard was twenty-something years down the line. Do you know how the Lower Decks characters have progressed during those time periods?
MCMAHAN: …I do know. [Laughs] I’m being very careful!
what are you hiding from us
what if they find Peanut Hamper in the Delta Quadrant
