So season 1 just finished.
After suffering through Star Trek Discovery (except for the episodes with Pike) and Picard not really feeling like Star Trek ST Lower Decks was different and fun. Sure episode one felt like it was trying too hard with all the references and Mariner and Boimler being a bit Rick & Morty but they and the cast grow on you. It started feeling like a cartoon version of The Orville, which I feel is the spiritual successor to ST after Voyager.
The finale though... who the hell thought these old TNG joke aliens would be back except upgraded?! Like damn. But the kicker was when a Federation ship shows up and a few seconds later you’re like wait what why is that am I hearing what I think I’m hearing?? YES!! (Trying hard to be spoiler free)
Suffice it to say I enjoyed the campy romp of STLD and I’m in for season 2.
