TattorackI’m not giving NuTrek any more chances. They already tried with 5 series and 1 movie. It’s never going to “get there”.
I don’t like Lower Decks one bit. Cheap low brow humour and it still gets plenty wrong about Star Trek, just for the sake of a gag or the creation of drama.
The closest we got to something aligning properly with Star Trek is Prodigy, of all things.
data1701d (He/Him)You only watched season 1 of LD didn’t you?
I watched into season for until the first officer got repeatedly kicked in the balls. At that point I just couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
I’ve watched some clips that occasionally popped up on YouTube over the years and found nothing that warrants giving it another chance.
If you’re singing praises for Lower Decks then you’re simply not mature… At all.
I will admit Lower Deck is always a bit crass and that element never goes away, but the characters develop really well and it’s impressive how attached they get you to them in a total runtime shorter than TNG season 1, and the show gets surprisingly emotionally sincere as it goes on.
And I’d say seasons 3, 4, and maybe 5 have what I’d call legitimate contenders for some of the franchise’s best episodes. Honestly, if it’s really hard for you to watch season 2, just skip to Wej Duj and watch from there.
But honestly, if you can’t get past the crasser elements, I get that.
