How does Lower Decks compare to Star Trek the Animated Series?

[fireproof78]

Audiences rarely mind discontinuities if the discontinuity facilitates the telling of a good story. They usually find a rationalization.

Yes, indeed.

Discovery and Lower Decks are the only Star Trek shows that have a main character I wish they threw out of an airlock.

Really.

Spent my 5.99. Watched ep 1. Laughed once. It's so hyper and their speaking is very overdone. I am not from this culture. Off to watch #2 and see if it gets better. I liked the animated short btw.

Funny cuz they do have one thing in common.

Well two things...

Yeah. Conspicuous, that...

I'm not sure I can follow ... what is the second thing besides being annoying?

I was glad to see ...

Spoiler: Episode 7

... an Edosian outside of TAS this week in "Much Ado About Boimler."

Sorry, I didn't realize that which species were in an episode was a spoiler.

Sorry, I didn't realize that which species were in an episode was a spoiler.

Especially when said alien species was featured in a preview trailer.

Well, now you know. Granted, it's a small spoiler, but it's a spoiler nonetheless. I'm just trying to err on the side of caution with this. A majority of threads in this subforum are sporting the spoiler tag, which is fine, but I'd like there to remain at least some spoiler-free threads for folks who don't want to be spoiled to venture into.

Spoiler: Episode 7

We saw his silhouette in the season trailer, but not in the trailer for this episode. And then people were only guessing as to his exact nature, we didn't know he was actually Edosian – and not Arex specifically, as has been theorized as well – before it was confirmed in the actual episode.

Did they actually refer to the species by that name in dialogue?

I don't think they did, no.
