Unfortunately, Final Space did it a lot better than Star Trek: Lower Decks. Yet they always managed to rise to their occasions, because-if nothing else-they believed in the dream. Both featured everyman heroes, goofy guys who, despite belonging to a glamorous interstellar military, didn’t have a lot going for them, except their good intentions.

You could even say the two shows had much in common. Creator Mike McMahan (who I hold in high esteem for his work on Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites) specifically wanted a look reminiscent of shows from the turn of the millennium. The Star Trek show was animated by Titmouse. Because, as I said above, Star Trek: Lower Decks really, really looked like it had been drawn by the same people. I spent an embarrassing amount of time on the research. If that sounds like more about the animation process than you really wanted to hear, my apologies.

Officially ShadowMachine in Los Angeles was responsible for the animation but they outsourced it to a Canadian studio, Jam-Filled, who used Toon Boon Harmony software and NASA space images. (I like to think it might have been a close race.) It was created by Olan Rogers who then developed it with David Sacks. Final Space, alas, did not make it onto the Hugo ballot, although the third season aired on TBS between March and July in 2021. My first impression-and I mean immediately, like within about 3 frames-was that it looked an awful lot like Final Space. So, naturally, my sweetie and I curled up with some snacks, and tuned our electronic hearth to Paramount. Several were familiar to me, but I have to admit I the Star Trek titles caught me off guard. Of course, everything in the world stopped, while I rushed to order books from the library and line up titles on Netflix, et alia. (I adore kitsune.) But I had barely started jotting down titles and checking the spelling of Korean actors’ names, when the Hugo ballots were announced.

(Thank you all!) I immediately started collecting material for a post about fox spirits. All Rights Reservedīy Michaele Jordan: About a month ago, when I posted my first file here on File 770, I was delighted to discover that I was not alone in my fondness for Korean SF/F.
