After a marathon couple of months where I finished Disc season 2-4, SNW a full TNG run and a full DS9 run I’ve run out of steam come season 4 of Voyager (It’s always been my least favourite show and although some seems better than I remember, overall it just lacks something)
So decided to give Lower Decks a go and I have to say it’s absolutely brilliant. I’m not a huge fan of animated shows but this series really does a great job and it will be interesting to see how they are in the new SNW series.
I was hesitant to start lower decks because I thought it was just going to be goofy and over top but it’s actually pretty grounded in the trek universe and has a lot of heart. I’m looking forward to the next season and can’t wait for new season of SNW
I love the pace, and how it contains so many references to the other Treks.
It’s super funny and shows a different side of Star Trek and I’m looking forward to the crossover
I initially bounced off Lower Decks because, following Trek tradition, the pilot really isn’t that great and I got ‘Rick and Morty’ vibes from the show, like it was trying to chase a trend in animation rather than being its own thing.
When I came back to the show about a year later, I vibed it really hard. It feels like every frame is dense with Trek references and it overall shows a lot of love and attention to the classic Treks.
I’m someone who still can’t really engage in modern trek shows like Picard or Discovery, so I’m very thankful that Lower Deck exists. SNW is good too, but a bit mid to me.
