Better question is why isn't stun the default?
Lower Decks Trailer Analysis
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
You can't cut through metal, if you're trapped, or f%ck up robots with stun.
Yup. To quote Spock in "The Naked Time", "We can't afford a safety factor."
It reminds me of Final Space. I can only hope it is actually that good.
Loved it more than I was expecting so that's a relief.
I was also getting Final Space vibes. This is a good thing.

I thought the trailer was ok.
I'll probably check out the first few episodes (If I don't like it, it's not like I've used that much time).

My assumption is that phasers are off, or have some sort of safety, by default, and when told to "set phasers on stun", they're just turning off this safety.
Mariner, presumably, turned off the safety and set her phaser to kill (or vaporize or heavily injure) on accident. There might be an alarm that goes off when phasers are discharged (nadion detector?), but it could be switched off as it often must be during enemy hoardings.

One of the aliens on the bridge appears to be a Nepien

Wish we could still use gifs for avs lol
Depends on the robot.
Yes, by putting a cartoon about a Trek era that's now 33 years old...yep, no attempt to "mine Trek's past" here...oh, wait...
Chronologically, a ship with a registry of 75567 would have been built before the Sao Paolo/nuDefiant from the last season of DS9 circa 2375. So the Cerritos would be at least 5 years old in Lower Decks. The 77567 registry seems too high for me, unless it's pointed out in the show that the ship is brand-new as of 2380; it's probably a mistake, seeing as how the 75567 registry is prominently featured in the trailer.

So, you tell people who liked it to “go stroke to it,” but then complain that you received some pushback from folk who don’t agree with your negative opinion? Have you considered that perhaps it’s YOUR attitude that needs addressing?
Honestly... I don’t even know what to say to this.
I didn’t see a single joke about Star Trek?
I’ll tell you what, I feel sorry for Mike McMahon that he is seemingly just seen as a Rick and Morty guy. It’s as if he’s never worked in television before, and just has one credit to his name.
Just because adult comedy is his playbox, why on Earth is his output defined by one project that he worked on?
Hell, he’s had a new show debut in the time since he left Rick and Morty, and it was one co-creates by him, and was given a quick renewal for a second season. Why aren’t we considering THIS?
I would HATE if my performance was always determined by one job I did, especially in the entertainment industry.
If you thought the content “really really sucked,” that’s your opinion, not fact.
If the previews are only asking this one question, how on Earth did you jump to a million other conclusions in other posts that you have made on this subject?
And, as you have already been told, now that you’ve decided you don’t want to watch it, just grab your coat, and leave. Let those who WANT to enjoy it, do so without having someone like you ruin it for them.
Many of us have very little to enjoy in life, currently. That we can’t even come to a safe place to share our enjoyment of something with people of equal mind, is a god damn travesty.
Nor are you.
Not at all. They’re just exploring a genre that Trek has yet to visit. More power to them, for trying something new and different.
Honestly, I think that if someone is wired to moan and bitch incessantly online about cult tv shows, etc., then I think that’s their default setting. These people are never going to support new Trek.
You’ve already been called out for this embarrassing statement. Saves me the hassle!
As has been said, it’s got a two season run, minimum.
That said, it could go either way, I suppose. Being animated, it could go longer than any Trek thus far, or it may just be one that CBS dabble with, then move onto someone new.
The desire, by CBS, to explore new genres and not allow Trek to be defined as one thing, for one audience, should be commended. For me, it’s brilliant, given I have a vastly wide taste in television.
They need that young adult crowd to latch onto it, for sure. I wonder how being on CBSAA will impact that, given they don’t seem to have targeted that adult comedy fan demo yet?
But, CBS know what metrics they will be using to judge the success of this show, and we will only ever be able to guess. The fact they’ve only started advertising this show one month before launch, tells me that they aren’t using it to try and make the dent that Picard and DIS made, which is great. In fact, such an awareness and understanding of their products and their marketplace is quite reassuring for me, going forward.
Honestly, after reading this, I hope you stay out of any actual important and meaningful race discussions that are currently taking place across the world.
Once upon a time, I never thought the ENT forum would be anything other than a blood-soaked battlefield. Imagine my surprise, when I returned after years away haha.
Honestly, if this show is even half as good as Final Space, then that’s perfect. Final Space is a goddam masterpiece.
This!

Sorry, I just can't fathom an adult finding this funny. I have a hard time imagining it appealing to any age group, honestly. It's just not good.
Comedy is completely subjective, I know, but we're approaching "Ouch, My Balls" and "Would you buy that for a quarter?" territory here.

More like "I got a kick out of it." I'm 40. I've been an adult for half my life. I'm secure enough in it that I don't need to prove how "grown up" I am by dismissing the series outright.
That's what I did when I was 13. "I don't want to watch this kids show! Look at me! My voice is changing, I have a mustache, and hairs on my chin! I wouldn't be caught dead watching this!"

It's bad, ok? You can admit it.
I'll throw you a bone. I don't like Star Trek Into Darkness. There. There's a Star Trek that's come out since 2009 that I haven't liked. I'm also lukewarm on the Harry Mudd short.
