This is good news for assuring that SNW’s 3rd season production will move ahead after the strike.
Greenlighting a couple of extra episodes and a 4th season would make strategic sense, but I’m just not willing to give Paramount the benefit of the doubt on that.
What annoys me is that all too often the drama is created by characters being a bit shitty to one another. These parts are where I feel it doesn’t quite meet the true Gene Roddenbury version of Star Trek, where the characters all try to be good and yet face difficult situations where there isn’t really a good answer. It’s nowhere near as bad as Discovery and others, but it doesn’t quite reach that TNG level, in this regard.
