    Maybe this series would be a good reason to resurrect the shorter eBook-exclusive stories.

    Why comics for LDS very novellas?

    Because Spock did too much LDS in the sixties? :)

    (Seriously, what does "LDS" mean in this context?)

    Apparently it's the initialism for Lower Decks.

    I don't understand his statement. I think he might be speaking Yoda but I'm not sure.

    Someone involved production made a tweet about LDS being the acronym for Lower Decks, which might have been serious, or a joke harkening back to Star Trek IV or both.

    Yes, he and KRAD had a good sense of humor in their novels. I could see either one of them having a lot of fun with a Lower Decks novel if it is indeed a comedy show.

    But who knows, maybe Christopher, Greg Cox or any of our other current writers would love to write a funny novel. Let their hair down :lol:

    If you mean Ronald Held's question, I think he meant "versus" instead of "very." Probably a spellcheck problem.

    Not sort of.
    The whole concept behind the show is that it's an adult animated comedy along the lines of the stuff on Fox's Animation Domination block or Adult Swim. The showrunner is even one of the main writers for Rick & Morty.

    Oh yeah, that too. I never read that or the book, so I keep forgetting about it.

    If Lower Decks is even half as funny as that, it's going to be damn hilarious.

    Una just confirmed my question on Facebook that she is now doing the Spock title in addition to the Janeway title.

    Hope she gets round to writing a Sisko autobiography as well! I have to say, it stung to see Una writing for Voyager. If it has been Beyer I probably wouldn't have minded.

    We assume that Kirsten Beyer has her hands full. "Discovery", "Picard", one more (delayed) VOY novel, and providing storylines and guidance for IDW comics about DSC and PIC.

    With the Janeway biography it’ll be interesting to compare the first part of it with “Mosaic” and “Pathways”, since those 2 books were written in the 90’s but only went up-to Season 4/5.
