Star Trek: Lower Decks ended its finale without any cameo from Next Generation cast as its send-off could've become distracting.The finale episode bars none of the plotline it raised before, and creator Mike McMahan resolved every single thread in the half-hour episode.On the way to close the rift, the Cerritos meet Ma'ah and Malor and their battles bring tons of excitement.The episode is too fast-paced, and all those fun farewells merely became the boxes that have been ticked off on a list.The characters have earned enough trust to be taken at their word; we've come a long way compared to the days of 'Shut up Wesley'.The rift's stabilization results in a permanent interdimensional wormhole to the multiverse, thus creating more possibilities for future explorations.The fifth season was also meant to set up potential spin-off ideas; fans speculate that there will be more revival episodes in the future.Lower Decks serves as a celebration of the daily work that would never be celebrated in the louder, fight-heavy Treks.The show is an island of misfit toys who gathered to improve themselves and become better versions of themselves.Cerritos Strong!
