    I mean I would say it’s canon-lite. A lot of the jokes or cutaways don’t really work in a realistic star trek universe but that’s fine.

      A realistic Star Trek universe

      That Star Trek universe is what caused half of it to begin with. There are an insane amount of random nonsense that happens across all other Trek, equally as crazy as in Lower Decks. It just so happens to be that how they can visually show it is more pronounced in Lower Decks than it would be in other Trek.

      There is no such thing as a realistic Star Trek universe and there never has been. Not when you have Abraham Lincoln floating in space, a giant green ghost hand in space, a ‘God’ who judges humanity, Amelia Earheart frozen in time, Earth Dinosaurs who made spacecraft to escape asteroids, having sex with a space ghost, mushrooms that permeate the universe, ‘Red Matter’ that can stop a supernova, Warp 10 Salamanders, and many many many more things.

      Well considering that Strange New Worlds had a musical episode I’m going to go ahead and say that they can canonize pretty much anything they want.
