I watched a few episodes of that show. Its totally a farce. How can something like even exist after tng? Idiotic. I thought these were going to be different versions of the lower deck characters not coming straight from the cartoon and actuallt acknowledging it. Also boimer pretty much knows the snw world looks more real. So he knows his world looks like a cartoon. Come on man. How does it even fit in any previous trek canon?
Thats not how canon works.
 
Boimler felt like Boimler, but something felt off about how Tawny portrayed Mariner. I don't know how to put it into words, but she didn't feel quite like Mariner. I don't know if it was the writing or what.
You’re gonna LOVE Starfleet Academy, then. During “The Ready Room” Wil Wheaton mentioned and Tawny Newsome confirmed that Tawny has joined the writing staff of Starfleet Academy.
 
Anyone notice a weird cut or something in the teaser/intro?

Mariner says something like "It's like any other portal and we're just running scans."
Then Boimler says "Because it might do something".

It just feels like a line is missing, but I'm like on my 5th watch of the episode so maybe I've lost my mind. lol
He's answering Beckett's original question, "How are you so excited for some random portal no one's ever heard of?" The statements between that and him answering are them arguing semantics.
 
Right next to TAS and the literal devil being real.

Canon is the officoal body of work. It's officially there. Continuity is another question.

TAS wasnt a futurama type show. LD is. Also they never had a crossover with another star trek show with a starfleet officer saying "oh yeah. Here is the period where we were two demensional." All i can figure is the lower decks crew are raging alcholics and those drinks boimer makes have them seeing delusions the whole series.

There's this thing called suspension of disbelief. Some people can only suspend so far before it becomes uncomfortable. I remember watching Ghosts of Illyria and having this weird moment, thinking "Jesus, that's just two grown men rolling around on the floor pretending." And then I took a breath and let it go. Surrendering to the absurd is a choice.

Well to be fair except for one joke form Boimer about everything looking realistic. No one made comments about being from a universe that looked like a cartoon or vice versa. Because it was not presented as a cartoon universe. The Enterprise Crew did not get turned into cartoons it was the drink causing them to hallucinate that.

But yeah the tones of both shows are like oil and water. Didn't work for me. If others liked it fine....
