suntonova Review of Star Trek: Lower Decks

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–2024)

You'll love this show unless you don't know enough Trek to get the in-jokes.

[10/10 · 18 September 2020]

If you won't recognize the Kirk reference when a character uses unnecessary tumbling to evade a phaser blast, the Riker reference when a character cockily puts one foot up on a rock and leans forward in a way that screams ego, or the Scotty reference when a character says the job is going to take 4 hours when he knows it will only take two then you're probably going to find this show stupid, lame and pointless. If you've watched and rewatched multiple Star Trek series and laugh at memes that your non-trekker friends don't understand then you should love this show. Every episode is filled with Easter eggs and in-jokes. We even have Star Trek the Animated Series references.
