Have you watched Lower Decks?
It’s not a show to get new audiences into Trek like Prodigy. Lower Decks is written by fans for existing fans of TNG era Trek. It is non stop obscure Trek jokes.
They apparently don’t like LD because it has “chest-bumping admirals” which… okay? It’s a cartoon. It’s not supposed to be serious.
Watched the trailers, hated them, watched a single episode and turned it off halfway. Disco wasn’t written by fans and I’m having a hard time believing that lower decks was.
I LOVE the episode lower decks, the series is awful
You watched half of one episode. You can’t claim the series Lower Decks is awful after watching half of one episode.
The writers wrote a joke where a character comments that Nick Locarno looks just like Tom Paris. It takes a fan to write that joke. It takes a fan to understand that joke.
Maybe you just didn’t get the inside jokes they throw out every 5 minutes.
I’ve watched every TOS TNG ds9 voy and ent episode more times than I can count, I even watched shades of gray twice. I have thousands upon thousands of dollars in merch, models, books, thousands of trading cards. Yeah, I’m a fan who draws the line at wearing a uniform but that’s about it.
I watched half a season of discovery and decided I tortured myself enough. I regret pushing myself through watching Picard all three seasons, that is a lot of hours I won’t be getting back and it pretty much ruined TNG for me. I started watching prodigy and decided I had enough of the crap, and I’m not wasting my time anymore in getting disappointed and having so much great history being shat on.
If prodigy made a funny injoke, then yay. After seeing the producers of discovery proudly proclaiming that they aren’t trek fans, don’t know it but love the platform to push their political views I feel like I’m just about done with star trek. I haven’t even watched the classic episode anymore, that’s how much of a turn off the entire experience had been.
I started watching the Orville and immediately fell in love with a show that is startrek in all but name. Go watch that, it showsbthe love.
