I liked Lower Decks and I hope it gets a second season. I enjoyed the characters and I'd like to see them do more things.

It's a solid "good" for me, better then "okay" but not all the way up to "great".

Because of stuff like the Orion space pirate joke?

Sorry, I've only seen the ascension episode, but when I read the Star Trek thread and see stuff like that suggested to be the show's high points, then it just sounds like fanwank tbh.

I remember the Orion pirate joke being called out as bad by the character using it, because she was having a mental break down.

And ascension wasn't that good.

There should be a joke in Lower Decks where they do the Vulcan salute as a sex move like the shocker

someone tweet that at the writers for me

I’ve never seen the show but that’s what I assume the jokes are like right. and like lol they do sex in the holodeck

You would be very wrong.

Exploration is ill-advised.
the sex in the holodeck jokes were already flat out text in Deep Space Nine like everything good about Star Trek that hack writers both ignore and pretend they invented

Yeah but do they address the “what if you poop in the holodeck, does O’Brien have to go in and clean it up” question

That was way too intense for something aired half an hour before I go to bed.

Yeah Animaniacs is actually fairly easy to replicate; just have 2/3 of an episode be segments that no one cares about.

When I became an adult capable of understanding all the references in Animaniacs, I also found that I don't really enjoy reference comedy like that. Hopefully people who enjoy movie industry references will still enjoy the new series, but if it doesn't take off, well, that's life. It's not like how well the reboot does will have an effect on childhood memories.

Animaniacs was also ahead of the curve in making fun of goons on forums back in the early 90s. The internet is old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOtmdHiCJNY

poo poo. Late to it but god daaammmnnn that last episode of Primal. Genndy's signature of badass violence and sadness absolutely peaking while they watch that tortured creature burn. What a thing, just a hell of a show.

iirc if the legends are true, that sketch was made as a direct response to Tress Macneille (Dot Warner, Babs Bunny, like a thousand other voices) getting harassed by internet creeps

I know I've heard the story of a crazed stalker fan, but if that's the inspiration for that bit, something was lost along the way, because they only seem to be referencing the fairly benign obsessing over minor errors or exploring the little gags.

This episode is one of my favorite types of story, where the protagonists get caught up in someone else's tragedy through unrelated happenstance.

I mean if the last few years have shown anything there isn't actually that much of a line between the two behaviors.

I want to say more about it, but I'm not sure what I can say. Even last night as I was watching it with friends, there were multiple times where I started saying something, only to derail myself with a "Holy poo poo!" as some new primordial horror emerged onto the screen. It just speaks for itself so effectively, all you have to do is watch it.

It's such a visual series, in the sense that it takes its time, and lets everything unfold on screen. Plague of Madness has such a long, loving opening that lets us just soak up the lives of the sauropods before getting to the story. One of the things I really love is how Spear will make an observation, and they'll animate him pondering, coming to a conclusion, etc.

loving Primal tho man. The animation has been great from the start but anyone else reckon that it's hit another level now? The facial expressions and the kinetic feel of this recent episode, just top notch.
