Star Trek Lower Decks
- Thread starter Atlantis
- Start date
OMG this show blows so bad! I have been ranting about it on Twitter and the responses have made those tweets the most popular I have. This show marks the absolute rock bottom of anything ever named Star Trek. I am including fanfiction here, because even the fan made stuff is optimistic and tries to be Star Trek. They only lack money and proper equipment and production skills. Even Seth McFarlane made Star Trek fan fiction film!

Okay, I just read my comments from early impressions of the show in Season 1 and I have done a 180 on it. I actually like the show. I can have fun watching it, and I can even rewatch episodes! What changed? This show is a parody. It's not meant to be what ST The Animated Series was which was serious but animated version of Trek. This was meant to be a parody, and I misinterpreted it's mission. I find that because it's such a clear parody, it isn't a threat to canon or any other shows. I know there was a crossover episode on Discovery, but that show is godawful and is canceled. There will just be the last season.

The cross-over was on Strange New Worlds.
Ah, okay. I have not seen it! Not really a fan of Strange New Worlds because I am a stubborn and dedicated original Star Trek fan! (1966-2005). I have watched a couple of episodes. I have watched all of the Lower Decks episodes, and rewatched a few.

I haven't seen any Lower Decks. Was there any mention of the cross-over on that show?Ah, okay. I have not seen it!

No, just the crossover to Strange New Worlds (which I have not seen). It's a very different sort of show because it's a parody. The writers seem to know MUCH more about Star Trek than any of the writers of Discovery, Picard or Strange New Worlds. Like, they know the real deal so well they can parody it. They know even the most obscure canon references, and they parody them. I enjoy it a lot.

Well, maybe I should give this cartoon show a try then. Even though I'm not as well-versed as a TOS superfan.
I think you will love it then! It's a clear parody, and it's actually very funny and fun to watch.

Personally, for me it's too fast paced for me and it doesn't offer the opportunity for you to breathe and try to get to know the characters.
