Though to be fair, the reality is that no matter how advanced we get there’s still gonna be fart jokes in space. That scene in the cafeteria where everyone’s getting Bortus to eat random things seems like a far more realistic vision of a space-faring post-scarcity future.

This is exactly why I love lower decks, it’s so much closer to how we would probably act in the 24th century vs the heroized live action stuff lmao

The Enterprise bridge crew are the best of the best. Lower Decks is a story about the mediocre of the mediocre

  Ehh. Mighta been born that way (even that’s debatable) but definitely not anymore. Tendi is the ass-kicking heir to a pirate dynasty, Rutherford is an insanely talented and obsessive engineer, Beckett seems borderline unbearable in hand-to-hand combat and explicitly dodges promotions, and Boimler is Boimler.

    That’s Star Trek as hell
    
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.
    
    Mariner became an ass kicker at Starfleet. Rutherford turned his genius into something caring and kind. Tendi learned to feel accepted for every part of herself and to user her two halves together. Boimler got bold.
    
    A positive environment for people to learn and grow can transform the mediocre of the mediocre into the best of the best. It drew out the hidden talents within them and turned them into badasses

    I wanna agree but in this particular case they all had those traits even before the show started (timeline-wise)

    Boimler is just American Rimmer

    nah. Boimler is actually incredibly competent and skilled. He’s just neurotic AF

    Im hoping they figure out how to rotate fresh characters into the cast as the originals fade away (ie Tendi), and let the cycle repeat until canceled

  Really? I’m curious, you don’t like the humor or what is it?
