That may be true in general, but it’s not a hard and fast rule. Do you really think Lower Decks was all tapped out? Another season or two would inevitably see them jumping the shark?
I get why seasons make more sense with 6-12 eps than 24, but I don’t see why the number of seasons needs to be shorter as well.
Yeah I’m happy with the ending too, but I just don’t think having another season or two before that time would make me wish they had less of it.
The shows back in the day like TNG had some crap episodes here and there, but that’s because they were rushing 26 episodes per season. It’s not like all of season 7 was bad because they should’ve been done before that.
