US: Star Trek: Lower Decks (the new animated series)

[JRS]

Lower Decks isn't a parody though, it's canon.

Fair point, though I would contend that it absolutely does parody, satirise or otherwise poke fun at a lot of canon Trek events, ideas and tropes.

Replace "parody Trek" with "comic take on Trek"

Season 5 starts today on Paramount+ in the US, don't know if that's the case for over here. Two episodes released today, then one a week (ten in all).

I rewatched the series in preparation for S5 coming out. I still find the first couple of seasons a bit of a chore, the first half of S1 especially. But credit to the showrunners and people making the series, they figured it out. It's funny, my snap judgement of this series was that it was gonna be hot garbage and it's now one of my favourite Trek shows. My snap judgement of Discovery being hot garbage meanwhile held true from the opening two-parter all the way to the tacked-on coda...

Only half way through S5E1, all good so far, enjoying the off-brand version of Star Trek this gives us while we wait for something deep and nerdy.

enjoyed that, going to miss it when it over.
anyone else hearing rumours that they might get a movie ?

 

[Steeps]

If it gets a movie they need to do a Star Trek: Generations and keep everything the same, but make the "sets" darker.

Lower Decks fills the perfect gap where you're not sure if you want to watch immature cartoons or Trek.

Love the new intro, especially the V'ger sound.
