Star Trek: Lower Decks: Second Contact (2020)
Season 1, Episode 1
5/10
Busy Intro
20 March 2021
A few of the reviews of the overall show made this sound like it could be a fun Star Trek related romp. Not really a fan of Family Guy as so many others have mentioned, I felt like this was more related to the Total Drama Series type action and humor, but way over the top.

The show does come right at you at warp speed and I agree the intro is very nice,. A lot of humor in the show. some hit and some miss, very few full on face palms, but as a life long Trek fan I doubt I'm the target audience. It can be a bit juvenile.

This was very much a female driven first entry with some great characters, but none of the male characters got hardly any development and were instead used as props and gags. Even what I'm guess is the first officer was out of commission throughout and we didn't get any intro.

Some funny parts, some unnecessarily gross aka Renn and Stimpy style if you can recall. Some claimed a good connection between TNG and this series, although what connection I observed, was little more than name dropping at the very end. Kind of a meh first, but I'll watch a few more.
