I have to admit I had very low hopes for Lower Decks after that first teaser featuring a drunk Mariner being reckless with a bat’leth. It looked like it was going to be just another “adult cartoon” cash-in like the dozens on Netflix. Very happy that my initial impression was totally wrong.
Lower Decks was an effective Star Trek show as well as an effective comedy. While I also wouldn’t trust this idea with just anyone, as long as there are people working on it who understand why Star Trek is important and how the themes are more important than being dismissive, I welcome another comfy optimistic comedy about a better world.

And when it hunts underwater it is deaf and blind, sensing electromagnetic signals from its prey with the duck-bill.

The Prime Directive is one of those weird artifacts of the context of the original series. When naked imperialism was starting to be challeneged in pop culture but was still very much considered the status quo in the West, the idea not to interfere in other cultures was a bold stance. However, the idea of a “natural cultural progression” is unfortunately a product of its time and wasn’t even something Kirk actually believed when it came down to it. Picard was more by the book but even he couldn’t watch innocent people die when his crew pushed back. It’s now pretty much universally regarded in canon as a stupid rule.

Damn sex pests. That was so disappointing. He did some damage but hopefully his shitty behavior doesn’t ruin the part of the show he’s not in.

Seconded. The Expanse is an untapped goldmine of strong characters and weirdness.

That’s a bad one. I wouldn’t wish Rick Berman disease on anyone other than Rick Berman.
