Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x01 - "Second Contact"

[Skipper]

I feel if I were less intelligent it might have appealed to me more.

Maybe if I had the mental capacity of an 8 year old I might have found the desire to ever contemplate watching another.

Good to know that now we can have intelligence and cognitive tests with just one question: "Do you like Lower Decks?".

Count me in with the stupid ones.

Did I hear correctly that the bat'leh was from some Klingon with an eye-patch... so, Martog?

She said some old guy, she didn't go into what species.

No. His eye is just scarred.

I'm going with Nick Fury so we can get a Sam Jackson cameo.

Sam Jackson as a Klingon?

The one thing I found a bit too goofy was the lower decks personnel sleeping in the corridors. I mean I know it's a comedy show, and they probably have at least some sort of glass/polymer/whatever screen they can lower over their bunk to get some privacy/shut out noise and light, but it still seems pretty silly.

Though silly sleeping arrangements aren't going to ruin my enjoyment of the series/

Actually that was quite realistic. This ain't a Galaxy class. The newest of the new would probably get corridors. On some navy subs they set up hammocks in the torpedo and engine rooms. Space is a premium

It might be the marijuana talking, but that was hilarious.

The spider sucking on that guy was awesome.

8.

I liked it. it was fun. The opening credits are fantastic. Best credits since Voyager.

Eye patch and a scar? Wesley?

 

[Krog]

Definitely a solid 9 for me. Funny, irreverent... yet undeniably Star Trek! And I loved how they are using animation to introduce more species and Worlds! This episode was exactly what I was hoping for. Bring more!

 

[Paul755]

A few wonky bits here and there and I’m not too keen on Mariner being the Captains daughter. But overall I liked it quite a bit.

ranking this an 8.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I voted 8. I expected okay ness.

The comic timing of the show is perfect. But the stuff about the experience of ensigns in the shadow of the heroes could be TrekBBS posts. The writers get it.

Funny thing is it's basically what I expected the credits for The Orville to look like, and I was kind of surprised when that show was a little more straightforward.

(Don't mean that as either a good or bad thing. Just a thing.)

Good sequence overall. Theme song doesn't seem too memorable, but that'll come back and bite me in five weeks when I find myself absent-mindedly humming it while I'm doing the dishes.

 

[The Rock]

I thought it was pretty funny, but I'm not sure why they are talking with 21st century lingo?

 

[rhllot]

I love to see so many aliens in cerritos! As someone who loves Andorians I think there are at least two Andorians a man and a woman

 

[Borgminister]

Is it me (probably) or was there something Galaxy Quest-y about the theme song? I enjoyed it, but can't give it over a generous 8 just because of how much was crammed into 26 minutes. For a first episode of an animated Trek it held up well though.

if you try to eliminate lingo altogether you make the dialogue bland. if you go the hard route and try to develop all new lingo and dialects like The Expanse you end up demanding a lot of your audience. For a comedy animated series they went the easy route, and its understandable.
