    The lower decks. It’s a cartoon comedy that is filled with deep cut jokes and poking fun at the various consistency issues of the various TV shows written by people who love trek. It’s a love letter in comedy form.

      It looks like it could be fun.

      I’ve not seen any Star Trek stuff, maybe a movie like over ten years ago; will I be lost if I start watching this show?

        If you like a fun cartoon comedy then it’s fun without understanding all the deep jokes they are slipping in. But wow when you realize how many there are, I’m a big star trek nerd and there have been some where I’ve been like “What did that mean?” Only to search the web for it to find some wild behind the scenes story that I never knew about which they are referencing. So if a line seems out of place, it’s probably something like that.

        Probably. But sometimes, being lost in space is good.

        You can watch it now, then go watch all the other shows and finally come back to watch this one again.

            True, watching shows as a demand rather than a want lessens the enjoyment. Do as the mood hits, no pressure.

        Some of the jokes will go over your head, some of the cameos will be meaningless, but overall I think the show stands on its own pretty well.
