lower decks is the best star trek show. i'm not taking constructive criticism at this time

#HOLY SHIT #no spoilers but. oh my god the latest episode is SO GOOD #i knew we were going to get at least a part of mariner's backstory this season and IT DOES NOT LET DOWN #really season 4 has been banger after banger #A Few Badgeys More was the only episode i was kinda eh on #if you asked me how i would rank lower decks after just watching the first two seasons i would probably say like. high mid #it's funny but not that deep #but in the last season it's quickly rocketed to be one of my favorite shows. certainly my favorite of new trek #idk it's just rare that a show seems to perfectly straddle being largely made of references and specific star trek jokes #while also having incredibly strong characters. not just of the main four but also the bridge crew. t'lyn. even compelling one offs #tbh i think the reason it's so successful is because it actively avoids the BIG GALACTIC DESTRUCTION plots that disco picard and prodigy do #(though prodigy much less so) #it just. let's the characters exist and builds plots around the characters instead of the other way around. #anyways sorry for rambling. the latest episode just. gave me feelings. #lower decks #my posts
