    As someone that loves “Strange New Worlds” but has never checked out “Lower Decks” well, second star to the right and straight on til morning I guess (gonna start watching “LD”)

      It’s absolutely worth it. I love Strange New Worlds, but Lower Decks honestly beats it out to make my top 3 favorite Star Trek series. It’s so good

      I was very skeptical about it at first, but then it turned out to have some great characters and thoughtful storylines on top of all the deep lore self-referential jokes.

        I liked this episode, but I thought the opening Lower Decks bit was pretty unfunny. Is the actual show different? It felt like all of the characters were trying way too hard to be quirky and the jokes didn’t really land for me.

          Like all adult comedy animation, it’s hit or miss and highly dependent on your mood and how you respond to animation.

      It’s quite good, although I personally found the first episode to be among the weaker ones in the show. It just made it seem more like a Star Trek-themed Tick and Morty, whereas the later episodes tended to fare better.
