        And ceremonies, long rambling complicated monotonous ceremonies with candies, incense, a bit of blood (or fake blood) and long periods of standing while reciting things in ancient languages that no one understands.

        If I can’t suffer through these things I don’t want your religion.

    Okay so I’m a new ST fan, my BF got me started on TOS & TNG recently and Ive really been enjoying it, but Ive been judging a book by its cover with lower decks because the art style looks so much like Rick and Morty to me. Is the story itself anything like R&M or does it feel like star trek?

      LowerDecks is meant to be a comedy instead of serious SiFi. However, given the way it’s written, it’s a total love letter to the spirit/ideals of what Trek is. It’s written from the perspective of younger officers, who are not in charge, but are trying to grow into the people/ideals who are portrayed in TOS/TNG. It’s silly, and the art style is a bit goofy, but somehow it works really really well.

      For me, seeing TOS/TNG/DS9 in full first feels important, as you need to understand the universe. LowerDecks will pick up threads from all over, kind of as inside jokes, and teases a bit, but all in loving fun to that universe.
