It’s interesting that every streamer-era series has ended laying possible seeds for future threads, in a way that the older shows didn’t. LDS sets up Starfleet exploration of alternate realities; PIC sets up Legacy (regardless of it actually happening), and had already set up the idea of the Jurati Borg joining the Federation; Prodigy sets up Janeway’s “special agents crew”; DISCO sets up Starfleet Academy and whatever might happen in the “Calypso” era. Even if they’re not acted upon by future producers, they all actively open doors.

Proto-Klingons are morons.
A very good finale, though it felt a bit rushed. I think this could’ve been better served by an hour-long installment.
Loved seeing the Cerritos shift into the different variants.
Not so enthused about the show implying Disco Klingons are a different quantum variant, but it is what it is.
I’m shipping Tendi and Rutherford even harder after that tease at the end. I just want them to be happy.
Odd choice to name check the Enterprise and not pull any cameos, but I think it was ultimately smart to focus on the Lower Decks characters here.
Everybody on the ship was operating at peak performance, and it was a beautiful thing to see. I loved watching Boimler pilot the Cerritos with such ease and confidence. Bold Boimler indeed!
I’m gonna miss this show. It means a lot to me. This ship and cast full of beautiful nerds will forever be in my heart.

I don’t know — Freedom-class and Sovereign-class starships exist in the Prime universe in addition to Cali-classes; so bald stiff Klingons exist in the Prime universe in addition to hairy ones. No real problem here.
I think that was just a way to show off the DSC Klingon look, not the producers admitting it all took place in an alternate timeline. Paramount's been banging the Prime timeline/all the series are in the same continuity drum since 2017, so unless that's changed without announcement then those are just DSC Klingons from that specific quantum reality.
I think you misunderstand me here. Disco Klingons are as much a part of the Prime universe as all the others. To me, the gag was trying to imply otherwise.
Remember: Riker's dissheveled self from "Parallels(TNG)" that was screaming about the Borg taking over his reality was in the EXACT same uniform as ours and on an identical Enterprise-D bridge as the one from the Prime timeline. Some of the parallel realities we saw in that episode had just a couple or even no visible differences.
Exactly. The difference can be as small as someone turning left or right. Many such journeys are possible.
That's a great idea.
I enjoyed that ending for Lower Decks - I think there is a part or cameo for every named crewmember we have seen in the series excepting those that have left like Jennifer.
Was expecting more celeb cameos, but I am glad we got what we got instead of more of last week.
Fly well Cerritos!

I don't know why I wanted Kelvin Kirk and the Enterprise-A to pop up in a Quantum reality.
It's canon.This was the biggest surprise:
LDS Klingons turn into Disco Klingons when hit by the quantum shifting wave, and the Bird of Prey turns into a Disco Bat of Prey
This strongly suggests that LDS says Disco is not prime, at least LDS and Disco are not the same universe
I am just curious how they'II explain that they didn't use this rift to bring help in Prodigy and Picard.
Maybe they adopted the Quantum Prime Directive from the alt-Lily Sloane's universe.
I love how they point out just how consistent the bird of prey overall design has been in general if not specific. Though would've been nice to see the El Sombraro D7 for a bit.
It made for a good gag. I laughed and I’m for the most part proDISCO.
