    Honest to God, I would watch an actual series of this. 10 minute episodes once a day, Martok takes a few calls. It’d be amazing. Paramount+ needs to make this happen.

      You and me both. Lower Decks proved you can get away with Star Trek comedy fantastically well, as if TOS didn’t. Why not lean into it a little?

      Even an ad line where Martok is screaming for you to watch Star Trek.

        Speaking of which, the Ferengi Series Cop Landlords in one of latest episodes, legitimately had me entertained

        Strange New Worlds has been doing a good job as well

          Oh absolutely. The ‘Fantasy’ episode where they’re stuck inside a story book? Every single scene with Pike had me pissing myself with laughter.

    And here I am still listening to car talk as they re-run episodes older than me. This is a fantastic series!
