Petition by someone who cares about the show so much they decided to ai generate a slop petition cover with none of the characters from the show standing in a setting that isn't from the show with comm badges that aren't from the show and ships that aren't from the show and a logo that isn't from the show. If you want a third season, at least care about the show.

How can she slop?!
Yeah, the banner image is weird. My take is "if you want a third season, sign the petition," though.
In my opinion, it wasn't the worst. I still have issues with the time period and the style over practicality approach more than anything. I didn't really relate or care for the characters all that much.
I also wish that it focused more on Starfleet Academy and not so much on a guys mommy issues and a another galaxy ending threat.
The show really loses focus.
I can't say I want to save it.
I wish this petition the best of luck. I would like them to succeed although I fear this effort will be in vain.
Wouldn't it have made sense to choose an image from the actual show though?
Change.org is a joke.
Agreed, that banner is a headscratcher.
I found the show utterly baffling to watch and did not care for it one bit. I thought it was a surprising decision for the show to use an established setting and premise only to reinvent what that premise meant and change the setting entirely. That decision felt like it was a bit on the nose of an indicator that it was searching for a new audience. That was confusing to me as I get the impression there's already an established audience eager for more Star Trek that isn't... like what this was. BUT I've just officially aged out of the youth demographic so maybe my eyes and interest just isn't valuable or desirable to networks anymore. C'est la guerre.
That all said, it's a damn shame to hear there is no more Star Trek in production. And a bit surprising to see this one canceled so early. From what I saw, it was critically well-received and the fans of the Kurtzman-era stuff really seemed to like this one quite a bit.
Like Enterprise being the end of the Berman and Braga era of Trek, it seems like this might be marking the end of the Kurtzman-era of Star Trek. I'm really glad we got Lower Decks out of it and much of Strange New Worlds was fun to watch.
Perhaps it makes sense, but it feels a bit weird to see Star Trek live or die by the vision of but a few showrunners. I would have thought that there'd be more opportunities for varied hands to give it a go.
The show sucks. Let it go.
I for one quite enjoyed the show, and would love to see more of it.
Congratulations on finding a show that wasn't for you. But maybe keep your opinion to yourself? It isn't adding anything to the discussion.
Liking the show and disliking the show are both valid opinions worthy of discussion. There's no need to shut down a topic just because you disagree with it.
Yeah please, we need more fodder for the RLM chaps so they can make something entertaining from it
