Over the past four seasons, Star Trek: Lower Decks has offered a new, animated, and certainly more comedic perspective on the long-running franchise. But the show's upcoming fifth season will, alas, be its last. With that in mind, the series will be finding ways to give its characters a proper send-off during the new episodes. Tawny Newsome, who provides the voice of Lieutenant Beckett Mariner, spoke at a Comic-Con panel and said this new season will see Mariner hit an emotional growth spurt.
Star Trek: Lower Decks will start streaming its new season October 24 on Paramount+.

Well balls... Looks like they've got me now don't they.
Maybe it'll better than I'm anticipating, I mean Holly Hunters great and Tawny Newsome is one of the writers... I just really don't want a high school drama teen angst star trek. That has zero appeal to me. Maybe it won't be that. Maybe it won't be like that one episode of Disco. Fingers crossed it's not gonna be that.

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.
Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?
No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.
Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!
These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:
'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'
— Vences et al. 2024
There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.
On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.
You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.

New Star Trek film news?
So apparently they've just kinda gave up on the Kelvin Star Trek 4 and now they're making a prequel to the 2009 film, which just seems to set it back in the Prime Timeline while also not?? All the new outlets are saying it's gonna be an origin story of starfleet, I personally wouldn't be so confused if this was a just direct reboot but they specifically mention the 2009 film.
Thoughts on this?
Hmm this is the first I’ve heard of this. I suppose technically speaking it would be a movie that would be canon to both timelines, since the divergence specifically happens on the day that Kirk was born (in the third movie they mention the xindi and romulan wars, so we know that those are the same in both timelines). It is kinda disappointing to know that they gave up on a fourth Trek with the Kelvin crew, especially after the introduction of Jaylah, I would’ve loved to see where they took her character in another installment. But an origin of Starfleet… isn’t that just Enterprise? Okay well I guess not technically, but that would put the film before the show anyway… I guess somehow the idea feels superfluous? Idk I’ve never been super interested in the origins of the organization, somehow in spite of Starfleet’s importance it seems like the founding of the organization just isn’t the most fascinating part about it. Idk I think I’d have to read more in detail about the news but I guess at the moment I would say I have mixed feelings. But you never know, if it has a solid script it could end up being pretty impressive.

It was always about getting the audience and building the audience. I think what we’ve found is that we’ve captured an audience with the Trek universe that may not have come to us, but generally speaking it’s the diehards. I think we should make films that appeal to people who want to see the film. I’m sick of trying to please people who don’t want to see what we do."
"I think we just make a much smaller film that’s more story-driven, more character-based, there’s less sh-t exploding, and maybe do it that way. Also shoot it on film, not digital. And then you have the fanbase. The fanbase has always been very kind to me. Obviously, there’s the trolls that lurk on the internet that hate everything, but generally I think people really liked [Star Trek]."
We’re at a place where to make a film, you make it for like $500 million. That’s half a billion dollars to make these films that you like. For it to be considered successful and everyone to be paid back, you have to make extraordinary amounts of money. The metrics of it don’t seem to make much sense to me."

Just a Chill Guy in need of a wheelchair

I have raised $135 out of $2600 pretty cool. It would be even more chill to reach my goal. Honestly I’m just happy you’re reading this
I have Diabetic Neuropathy. My nerves are damaged and as a result I have been struggling to walk. It would be cool to get a motorized wheel chair on the lowest key.
