I used to be a hardcore Trekkie. (Ahem, Trekker.) Loved the original series, loved the Next Generation, loved the movies. But then...suddenly there was Deep Space Nine, Voyager...like, maybe a couple of other series I can't even remember the names of. When you are used to waiting long periods between shows, it suddenly seemed like too much at once. I didn't have enough time in my life to follow three Star Trek shows in the same week. I still have yet to see Picard.
The same thing has happened with Star Wars. When the Mandalorian came out, I was excited. A Star Wars tv series! Man, I've waited 40 years for such a thing, and the first season didn't disappoint. But then, suddenly...there's a Ben Kenobi series. Then, the Acolyte, and like two other shows. Who has time to watch so many shows? I don't. I haven't even finished watching the final season of Better Call Saul yet, and I loved that show.
I might get around to Lower Decks someday. This is a far cry from when I was growing up and you had three tv channels and whatever was at the video rental store. There's almost too much content to choose from nowadays. (Damn, do I sound like an old man shouting at clouds or what? Shakes fist angrily at the sky, "There's too much damn Star Wars!")
