LowerDecks is meant to be a comedy instead of serious SiFi. However, given the way it's written, it's a total love letter to the spirit/ideals of what Trek is. It's written from the perspective of younger officers, who are not in charge, but are trying to grow into the people/ideals who are portrayed in TOS/TNG. It's silly, and the art style is a bit goofy, but somehow it works really really well.

For me, seeing TOS/TNG/DS9 in full first feels important, as you need to understand the universe. LowerDecks will pick up threads from all over, kind of as inside jokes, and teases a bit, but all in loving fun to that universe.

If Worf can wear his Klingon Sash, you can wear a Hat or Robe I think.

My thought exactly. There's no way TOS movies were being made in the 90s. That just feels wrong.

Some kids want tea parties, some kids want tense diplomatic dinners. To each their own!

That is unbelievably beautiful! I'm sitting in my chair crying now, thank you very much.

I think that's an Onager, not a mangonel.

Those were Roman, not so much medieval.

Oh yeah, that could be a fascinating series (maybe even limited series)

We need some Trek offshoot shows that are not about following Star Fleet.

Heh, I forgot to save the original, so could only add the comma to the existing image, so spacing is all wrong.

I'll try to to do better next time

Fixed (though Barclay is still just as confused)
