This makes me think even more that they’re going to show seasons 4 & 5 back-to-back.
eh, Picard Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back to back (even closer than SNW 4 and5) but 3 still aired almost a year apart.
They'll want to spread them out to maximize sub time
It’s not the same situation.
Agree 100%.
TOS, TNG, & DS9 are the best three Trek shows by a good margin. Prodigy is up there, too, at 20 per season.
I like episodic way better than serial and 26 way more than 10. Not even close.
26 sucks.
I love TOS, DS9, and marginally TNG. But, oof there are way too many episodes

I doubt that. They might not have as long a break in between, but I can't see them airing them back to back like one whole season. Might as well just make a 16 episode season 4 then.
I could see it starting off with Pike then midway switch to Kirk.
And as much as "TATV...(ENT)" pained me, the closing shots of the three hero ship Enterprises as first Picard then Kirk and Archer recite the opening narration are fantastic, and I could see SNW's final episode doing its own take on that to pass the torch.
But they forgot the Enterprise-E! Not to mention the Enterprise-A and B!
lol the old days of tv shows
The "present day" of TATV took place during the events of The Pegasus in TNG S7, meaning the Enterprise E didn't exist yet. As it is, I'm pretty sure the main reason they included the original Enterprise in that montage was because they already had a CG mesh of an original Constitution from the MU two-parter a few episodes earlier. After going through the effort of creating an HD CG mesh of the Galaxy class which they knew they wouldn't use again, they weren't going to create ones of a movie refit Constitution or an Excelsior just for a brief montage.
Even in the 90s the Star Treks were the only shows doing 26 episodes a season, most other shows did 22-24. And besides, in recent years, even US Network shows are only doing a maximum of18-20 episodes a season, with many shows doing less than that. The days of longer seasons are over, and to be honest, I'm okay with that. Twenty-plus episodes are an absolute slog to get through on rewatches, even on good shows.
Frankly, 26 was too much even back then.
I was actually referring to the workload for the cast and crew, but this too.
Skydance could easily be rushing the show out the door because it was a product of the former regime, and to coincide with Kurtzman's contract ending in 2026 if they have no plans to keep him on, then it would make sense to end it as soon as they can to make way for whatever they have planned for 2027.
Either way, we'll know in about 6 months what's happening. Sooner, if they mention anything about it during the Star Trek Cruise in February which I will be attending.
There's certainly merit to that line of thinking, but if the show is popular enough, they wouldn't want to rush it out the gates I think.
Anyway, as you said, we'll see. I'm good either way really.
To make it up to you we will petition the finale of Academy to introduce us to the Enterprise-V and have a narration by its captain and those of all preceeding 1701 dashes including the dash-nothing and the NX-01
one interesting SNW main cast group photo (and lots of the cast sleeping) in a Jess Bush made SNW cast appreciation book with BTS photos.
I'm thankful we've got 15 episodes + the muppet one to go.
