Speaking of season 2, I think I have a crush on both Ma’ah and T’lyn. Honour friends, slay enemies, study plants, and be Vulcan as a motherfucker.
I’ve always liked the theory that T’lyn’s Vulcan captain is her father. He’s looking out for her in his own Vulcan way in trying to help her fit in, but he also trusts her completely. I loved the little detail of T’lyn using her robe’s belt as a headband. She’s breaking her ship’s dress code and doesn’t care who knows, which is oddly familiar.
And Ma’ah and Mariner need to hook up. They understand each other’s culture and values, and they understand that the other isn’t at all a stereotype of their species.
It’s fantastic, it’s obviously made by people who deeply love and understand classic Trek, especially TNG. Only the animation style bears any resemblance to Rick and Morty, there’s none of its cynicism and punching-down. Lower Decks has so much heart.
Lower Decks is good.
The Richard and Mortimer look (and some of the first episode’s vibes) threw me off but I’m glad I stayed on board.
Okay I might actually have to give this show a chance
Especially by Season 2, you won’t regret it.
Spoiler-ish stuff

I agree, but I strongly encourage an edit about that so a new viewer can go in fresh and find out for themselves.

I think you’ve just convinced me to watch it because that’s exactly why I hadn’t watched it lmao
After a while I stopped noticing the look (and the lingering gimmicks/gags that fade away in favor of more Trek)
