I like Lower Decks. But I wouldn't put it anywhere near the same tier in Star Trek relative to Andor in Star Wars. It's basically Memory Alpha: The Show. It's entertaining but it primarily serves as a vehicle for Easter eggs, references, cameos, and satire.
Hard disagree.
The characters and stories stand on their own. The jokes are great too, but ultimately, I care about the characters and their journeys as much as I cared about the TNG Enterprise crew.
It's got real heart.
I agree with both of you. I liked it a lot but I would liked it more if it had less references that often felt too easy or forced.
I find that ironic for a show whose major theme is accepting things for what they are rather than for what you expect them to be
We're not saying Star Trek is "supposed to be" a certain way, but we're still allowed to like or dislike it. I'm not one of these chuds who says DIS or LD or STA isn't "real Trek" or isn't canon, but I still don't love them.
I never claimed anyone did
I never said anyone wasn't
What are you talking about?
I’m talking about the main theme of the show. How did you miss it?
