Oh dang, it’s the macrovirus from that one VOY episode!

LDecks, you never fail to completely delight me.

It feels like they actually like star trek which is a departure from what I got from picard and the Kelvin timeline movies.

Buddy, are you trying to make me pull an extra-ocular muscle from how hard my eyes just rolled?

If you like one aspect of the franchise you don’t need to whine about another not being to your taste to express that. I don’t shit on ENT every time I want to talk about DS9.

I love your username btw. It feels like a food truck Mariner would takk Boimler into running with her as part of a scheme to make money for her to pay off debts she owes to her Ferengi friend or something

I don’t understand this view. Sure, they don’t need to criticize one aspect of a franchise when they praise another, but why shouldn’t they? Must praise and criticism remain always separate? If you feel DS9 is better in some respect to ENT, I don’t see any issue with you contrasting the two.

Steve Shives, for example, dislikes the second season of Picard, and in his review of a recent episode of Strange New Worlds, that was brought up. He praised the episode of SNW while criticizing the season of Picard. Is that so bad?

You may not be comfortable addressing that specific example, but in general, what is the issue with contrasting things one likes with things one doesn’t like within a single episode, a season, a series, a franchise, or pop culture at large?

So, canonically speaking, “Lower Decks” is right around the time Starfleet would find out about the impending Romulan supernova and begin redeploying the fleet for the evacuation.

Maybe a little heavy for this show, but also a convenient excuse to move the Cerritos to the front lines?

As other posters have said, I’m not the yugest star trek fan but I really have been enjoying lower decks. I am so pumped for this! I love this crew.

I was very skeptical when Lower Decks was announced and didn’t watch any until the first season had finished, but it and Strange New Worlds are some of the most fun content to come out of this era of Trek. The whole show is just overflowing with love for the franchise.

THIS!! A thousand times, this! 🥳 Both of these series have blown the doors off every single other fan-service attempt at reviving a classic, and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I was so excited for the week IRL to fly by simply so I could have one more episode! 🥰

Adding to the fun with TrekCore’s screencap-laden breakdown.

I defy folks here not to howl with laughter.

This made my afternoon.

I am so looking forward to Lower Decks season 4. That screencap breakdown is great. So. Much. Goodness! I love the poster artwork. I’m going to watch this preview umpteenth times until the new season starts. Lower Decks! Lower Decks!
