I’m really hoping for something explosive in the finale. I’m so sad it’s going away.
The Order of the Silent Koala
May he smile upon you.
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?
It definitely feels like Star Trek, hilarious Star Trek. But like some other commenters said, it will help a lot if you finish the various live action series first. Lower Decks is chock full of fan service, so you don’t need to have watched everything, but many lines of dialogue will make more sense if you do.
The Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover is peak hilarity. The fan service continues even in live action. Lower Decks was brilliant to cast voice actors who also do live action, because that crossover is a genuinely excellent episode of Star Trek.
I’m jealous that you get to see all this for the first time! Enjoy!
Thank ya! Ive been enjoying it a lot so far, I have a lot to work through though lol
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.
Season 1 has shades of Rick and Morty, but breaks out by 2.
do you get to wear a fancy hat? or a robe of some sort? … if so I want to be a bishop
Sure, you can have a robe!
So long as you’re ok with also being a map.
That’s what all those liver spots are for! I thought I was just getting old.
If Worf can wear his Klingon Sash, you can wear a Hat or Robe I think.
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.
