I think the episode is generally a good representation of how Lower Decks characters are, yeah.

Question: is all of LD “like that”? I mean with the witty, switched on, humorous-ish characters?

I was sitting there thinking…
Ive never been a fan of the cartoon shows (ie: Rick and Morty, Simpsons, Bobs Burgers, KOTH etc etc). Not really sure why, and its not like I havent given them a shot, they just never stuck.
Trek is one where i like the genre, and the series have a pretty wide berth of quality. I thought the episode was solid. But I am not sure if the humor would last on me before it becomes…grating.
May give it a shot though after the episode whereas prior I was like “nah no animated trek for me”

The first 3 LD episodes are pretty brutal if you’re not tuned into the frenetic pacing of something like Rick and Morty. I would not put Simpsons, Bobs, KOTH in the same zone. HOWEVER, it’s worth getting tuned into. And if you really want some great info, dig up the old site’s posts by /u/USSBurritoTruck (if they are still there) about Canon Connections especially in Lower Decks, because there’s a TON.
or just search “easter eggs in lower decks S1E4” or whatever. But USSBurritoTruck is the best.

Yes. Also they are genre savvy (alien parasites, evil computers, and other crazy sci-fi nonsense are just routine parts of the job) and reference past series like fans (“That guy’s like a Kirk sundae with Trip Tucker sprinkles” is a direct quote).
It is a light-hearted semi-parody of Star Trek made by people who love Star Trek.

Yes. That is definitely almost all of Lower Decks.
