The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.
I’m not much of a sitcom fan. They’re rarely clever or supriseing. They feel like they write themselves in the most obvious way. And because of that they mostly bore me.
All that being said. Lower Decks nothing different.
I binged the whole series in the last month. Just finished the last episode this morning. And almost laguhed for the first time, when ransom said “Engage the core!” I didn’t laugh. But it did get a smile out of me. Now it’s over. And I can forget whatever it was I was talking about.
