Hot Take: The Reason Why 'Lower Decks' (and 'The Orville') "feel More Like Star Trek" Than Do 'Discovery'

bro wtf that line one hit KO’d me

remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots

Star Trek is a show about how to trick some 1920s gangsters into instituting communism. Star Trek is a show about bisexuality. Star Trek is a show about learning to deal with the fact that you replaced your alternate dimension self and everyone you actually knew is dead and you're surrounded by exact copies. Star Trek is a show about space whales. Star Trek is a show about fucking your subordinate in lizard form. Star Trek is a show

Ah yes, the true mark of an alien…

Lizard spy! He got exiled and he won't tell why!

my desire for a tng beach episode is primal. I also think I made them both a little too buff but I got carried away. muscles are fun to draw and my monkey neuron took over

“I’ve got to get to the captain!” ft. spock having all the grace of a newborn giraffe learning to walk

This took me forever but there, it’s fixed :D This is the only acceptable way for that scene to end.

I've said all this before but I still love this pop culture liminal space star trek occupies where like.. It's iconic. It's massively influential. It's genre defining. It holds historical significance. Everybody knows about star trek. But it also takes a certain type of nerdass to actually actively participate in Liking Star Trek
