The copyright dragons are always circling, you see? They have great vision during the day, and even better vision at night. But in the failing light, just before nightfall, they can't focus. Magic hour.

Given that they've said Lower Decks is now cancelled, it is very sad

You could sum-up a lot of the vibe of this show as “What if Red Dwarf took place in the Star Trek universe?”

My cat isn’t old enough to watch this.

Lower Decks surprised and impressed me which hadn't happened with a TV series since Matt Smith took over as Doctor Who

Everyone should be watching this show. Any fan that isn't into it just didn't make it past the second episode. This is the best show ever.

Genuinely appreciate the disclaimer! It's great to have kid-safe stuff to listen to while they're around, and if a video isn't it's nice to know.

Lower Decks accomplished so much. It was a love letter to the original animated series, it brought in callbacks and check ins with stories and characters the fandom wanted to return to, and gave us a group of characters that were engaging not just because they were serious about their careers, but because they could be fleshed out characters that existed outside of their role within the workplace

It's freaking funny. Moopsy was my favorite. All hail Moopsy.

the best compliment that this show could've gotten is my friend, that hates cartoons, not really into star trek (so doesn't know all the references) LOVES this show. i think that says enough.

Lower Decks became one of my favorite Trek shows since episode 1 season 1

i will pay money for my lower Decks

I really love this show. It has grown on me so much. I am super disappointed to hear that it will be ending after the next season. Could have easily done 10 imo.

As a kid I was a sci-fi junkie and a Star Trek TOS fan, but one of my favorite comedy routines in high school was "Star Trip," an audio theater routine by the Congress of Wonders. An mp3 version of the original vinyl LP is available online.

I just started watching this show recently and I have to admit that I'm really pleasantly surprised just how good it actually is. Animation and Voice Acting are both really solid, and episodes have been way better written than I expected. It's got a twinge of that Millennial quippy-ness that you see in a lot of adult cartoons, but it's still really solid. I was worried it was going to be a "he's....right behind me, isn't he?" type show and never actually gave it a chance

It's hard to describe the rage I feel over the cancellation of this show.

Decades? Star Trek: Destiny was only 15 years ago! :3 Edit: Just finished the video, and this was such a great presentation of and commentary on Lower Decks and its place in the broader franchise. I absolutely agree with you about it providing some much-needed commentary on Starfleet, and I love how deep the characters ended up. Thanks for a great piece!

I am sad its ending before all the characters get to the end of their arcs. I thought it would be the one new trek show to go past 5 seasons. I really wanted to see these characters grow from nobodies to the finest command crew in the fleet....

Well, Tyler, I have no dog to hide...

Lower Decks achieved what no other Star Trek show of this era could, it was likeable

Mariners behaviour is important it might not be the Enterprise, but its still Star Fleet.

Nice video as usual Tyler! Def will have to check out Lower Decks.

it Was good. the only reason I kept my paramoutplus, all for a weekend binge of this show once a year. oh well

I like your suggestion of rewatching the early seasons thru the lens of S4. I should add that I’m glad I started this video over - I initially started watching when it premiered & had no idea what you were doing with the looped Kamala Harris clip. Starting over let me see the opening bit of “real talk” about you going very far with memes & such. Tendi is my favorite character too, but more because she’s a big cinnamon roll of a character. I think that’s why the episode where she turns into a scorpion is one of my favorites.

Tindi Obsessive jokes to one side? Good video. My thoughts on the Pakled in Lower Decks. We have actually seen Pakled on DS9 in the background. So they clearly are able to trade and do honest business. What we see are largely those elements that have been scrapping and junking dominion war era salvage and have been emboldened. Those that are on Pakled Planet and their yearly revolution and general 'dopey' personalities contrasting with otherwise very sturdy and substantive construction based on the buildings and architecture we see? I view it as an alien mindset. they have a biological want for immediacy. Likely due to pre historic possibly even as far back as paliolithic era shortages and enviromental factors that led to those that sought immediate gains as being able to survive long enough. This tracks with how robust their physiology is (assuming short term vacuum survival wasn't a joke.... that they didn't have to immediate get medical attention was jawdroppingly ... wow.) Mentally i'd put them as... Smart, but their values structure is different than us. They probably are the relative late bloomers of the region and saw that everyone around them already HAD things. Probably were treated as simpletons given their mindset and general way of things. Likely a very initially trusting society and people since subterfuge just takes up too much time and effort. They arne't stupid. Far from it. You don't figure out how to get breen federation cardassian klingon and Q alone knows what other systems talking to eachother by being Stupid. Plus as the tamranians have shown the universal translator isn't perfect and Pakled syntax seems to have too many words that are all encompassing. Or they've literally used 'Picard' as their word for 'starfleet captain'. Plus given how many wonder solutions the federation will pull out of fat air on a dime can you fault any of them for just going wit hthe idea the federation isn't bullshitting them?

I'm with you that hte Mariner and Ma'ha therapy session is one of the lower decks series high points. Let dude show up as a provisional on the ceritos. Him and Shax would get along great.

I love the ships name because it sounds like a corn chip manufacturer.

This show has done more to legitimize the animated series than I ever thought was possible. The cross references in general felt more like taking proper advantage of the rich history of the franchise, rather than just token nostalgia.

Lower Decks is the best Star Trek since DS9.

I feel the same way about Holo from spice and wolf. Look her up.

Its a fun show with just a rough first season like most shows tbh. Its fun if you engage it with the idea thats its silly and made for fun over the story and themes. But its enjoyable I liked it atleast better than discovery pretty good branch out for startrek wish more series had some fun little side stuff like this. Just dont take it seriously if you enjoy startrek and push through that first season and its good and enjoyable a fun watch.

Wow, now thats a ship of the line. It has the lines of the Excelsior and Spacedock combined. Not sure about the nacelles being on their sides. Overall an excellent design, would've loved to see it in action. Is Space Engine able to do battle sequences?

I was born in 1967, so if I ever saw the first airings of the original series, I can't say but I did grow up watching TOS and the animated series followed by the movies and all of the newer Star Trek TV shows over the years. THAT SAID, Lower Decks is my favorite of them all. Feel free to disagree with me but Lower Decks reminds us in every episode whet we love most about the entire spectrum of Star Trek.

EUGENE CORDERO rocked it on Tacoma FD... Watch it!!

I love the show. I think it's hilarious. Steve Shives says it's not funny but I don't know how he says that. The humor is very insider. It's probably not going to be all that funny if you don't know the 90s shows pretty well. But Steve does so I don't know how he doesn't get it. They have to come to grips with the multitude of alien ethical standards. I love how they make fun of the officer's penchant for poetry readings and one act plays.

Criminal they cancelled it, especially since it's way cheaper to make than your Discos etc, but we can't have it being firmly based on optimistic golden era trek and putting most of NuTrek to shame now can we? :) All those who've been convinced into not watching it by a single trailer, and by popular KZreadrs vociferously trashing it based entirely on said trailer, might bear some blame and don't know what they're missing out on, but perhaps the fanbase of 'true' trekkies is also too small to sustain the viewing figures necessary for modern shows.

I would watch the show, but my phase inducer got decoupled after Worf's first poker loss.

I was initially dead set against Lower Decks, when it was first announced. I just though it was another new Trek nonsense, and the way the concept was pitched to me put me off. All that has changed now having watched it. It's great. Obviously it's not TNG, but it's not trying to be. It's a bit of fun, and the people making it clearly love the source material and understand it. Something that can't be said about the producers of most of the new Trek stuff. Yeah it's easter-eggy, but in the context of this show I'm ok with that Looking forward to season 5, sad it's the last one

I dunno. The series Chuck was great and that was late 2000s early 2010s. Though I guess one show isn't enough to consider all TV as a whole.

If a Trek fan dismisses this show for any reason... Fine. But it's truly their loss, it's five seasons of both humor, fun and surprising heart that very often rises to the heights of what I think is peak Star Trek alongside some of the best series and episodes of the franchise. I was thinking it was just gonna be mildly diverting but it's so much fun and it is always honoring Trek as a whole. More LD content please Tyler.
