News Star Trek Lower Decks new animated show

[Captain Moe]

Sorry if this has already begun posted but I couldn't see it listed the obvious places. New adult comedy show just announced Star Trek Lower Decks

The premise sounds great to me and shows that we will be getting a wide range of shows.

Could be fun. I wonder whether it will be considered canon or not? Even if it is, I'm sure the storylines will be incredibly isolated from the larger universe.

Seems unlikely based on the concept, I'm fine with that. Not everything needs to be canon.

 

[tomalak301]

It sounds like Star Trek: Orville. Could be interesting.

 

[brandnewfan]

I’m good with this, although I sincerely hope it’s canon.

I’d also like to know what era this is set in.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I'm pleasantly surprised they went this route. The show may even poke fun at some of Trek's longtime tropes.

 

[Markonian]

Hope it’s dramatic storytelling the way we know from the Orville rather than cartoon/Simpson’s-like absurdity.

 

[F. King Daniel]

i can't wait for the next 40 years of "BUT IS IT CANON?"

my first thought when i saw this was star wars: detours.

please don't be like star wars: detours.

 

[Cox of Seagulls]

Please allow me to be the first to say that this betrays Gene's Vision™ and isn't canon and isn't Trek and ruined my childhood. Thank you.

Wow, the guy who makes one of the least entertaining cartoons I've ever been forced to watch is making Star Trek? Cool. Chalk up yet another reason for me to avoid CBSAA like a plague.

 

[Rahul]

Dang. They're really going all-in with Star Trek! Hope it turns out good...

I want the captain and XO to go on a planet each episode, die, get replaced by the next two people in the command chain, and then the next episode they go on a mission alone and die and so on

 

[Terok Nor]

This sounds like fun. Rick and Morty is great.

I've seen a variation of this comment a lot today. I thought Rick and Morty were popular and regarded as a pretty good series. I've never seen it, though.

They're popular as all get out. I just personally can't stand the show. It's one of those cartoons where the whole point of it is to shit on the memory things liked by people older than twenty, in this case Marty McFly and Doc Brown.

I am 41 Back to the future is my favourite movie and I certainly don't think they shit on the memory of things I like. I actually very much enjoy Rick & Morty. It's clever, funny and balls to the wall nuts .

Then I expect you will enjoy this new show. I expect I won't.

How about waiting until there are actual episodes released?

For all you know it will be nothing like R&M.
This guy only worked as a writer and writers assistant on Season 1.

“Mike won our hearts with his first sentence: ‘I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end.’ His cat’s name is Riker. His son’s name is Sagan. The man is committed,” Kurtzman said. “He’s brilliantly funny and knows every inch of every Trek episode, and that’s his secret sauce: he writes with the pure, joyful heart of a true fan. As we broaden the world of ‘Trek’ to fans of all ages, we’re so excited to include Mike’s extraordinary voice.”​

Pass, not for me. But hey, others enjoy! Seems like we are finally getting the smorgasbord of Trek choices and I think that's a very good thing.
