You say “dilute,” I say “diversify”. Star Trek has always had a place for comedy. That doesn’t mean anything goes, and I get being trepidatious after the trash fire that was S31, but I think there’s good reason for optimism in this case. If Lower Decks and interviews like this are anything to go by, it looks like Newsome knows that any comedy needs to jibe with the overall Trek ethos.
