Star Trek: Lower Decks (animated series)

Yeah, they dropped that memory in for a reason I'd say. I'd say they will definitely look into that in season 3.

Roll on season 3. I really enjoy the show. Although sometimes I have to turn on subtitles to catch everything said as they tend to speak so fast when excited. It's not a complaint, just an observation and, let's be honest, pretty accurate: They are young, and in exciting and dangerous situations, of course they are going to babble.

I really like the characters. All of them. I love the rather serious attention to detail but not at the expense of making it too in-jokey. I mean I had forgotten about yer man with the riding crop but it was still a funny line.

As per other threads, I'm not as much of a Disco hater as many - like most, my biggest issue is with the Burnham character (Not the actor) being too noble and dour and 100% of the show revolving around her. And Picard had some great moments but also some duff (These are conversations for other threads). But what I love about LD (and hopefully Brave New Worlds) is the fun and joy in the show.

The characters are enjoyable with some real laugh out loud moments (Especially the Bajoran Sec officer). They balance the humour and the overall stories very well. I am assuming they will focus a little bit more on the Pakled situation and (presumably S31) Rutherford thing.

I was certainly wary of this when announced. Was fearing a "Family Guy Trek" type show but I am so glad I was wrong. (I am making my second attempt to watch The Orville but just find the homour/serious mixture much more jarring than Lower Decks).

So this came today :P

I wonder if anyone will know what a "RITOS" is :D

Damn Peanut Hamper! She can stay floating out there! :D

The cast do sort of give off a similar vibe to their animated counterparts. Fun.

Mariner: Yea?…..Mom?! No, I’m not done…you said I could have shore-leave! But- …. It wasn’t MY IDEA to make me your first officer?!! You should have done that to Boilmer since he’s a good bootlicker! Fine…FINE…I’m coming now…ugh (Taps badge)

Mariner (Picking up jacket and leaving): Damn Ransom getting promoted to command the Equinox B, I hope he gets “Caretakered” on his first mission.

Lower Decks is a fun and entertaining Trek show, which is what I feel many of us have been screaming out for in the years where all we had was Discovery. Picard Season 2 sort of fills this need, but nowhere near as much as Lower Decks has managed.

Its sense of humor, sense of fun, and the clear love for Trek in the production make this show addictive. I hope it will keep going for as long as it can, and hopefully infect the live-action shows with a sense of what made Trek enjoyable over the decades.
