I love Lower Decks, and this week's DS9 episode made me so happy!

OMG Lower Decks is the thing that brings me the most joy right now! It's so funny and full of love for Trek.
The bit this week with the Cerritos and the pylons! Amazingly funny.

Thrive to spite them
M and I have been watching Lower Decks together so I'm waiting for him to be in the TV mood. Usually we watch it Thursday but we've gotten off schedule and he hasn't felt like it.
I love the whole dynamic of the 4 of them and their friendship. And Mariner and her mother's relationship can be so relatable . Like at times I swear I've had some of the same issues with my Mom about things just not Starfleet related.
The best thing about this, for me, is that it is a work place comedy that doesn't get into The Office or Parks and Rec range of cringey embarrassing obliviousness of characters that can happen.

I just love all of the little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the series, even if I know I'm probably missing half of them.

I think it's hilarious whenever one of these shows up.

Andor is still ridiculously good. In case you were wondering!

So.. Lower Decks...that definitely wasn't something you'd see on regular ST show. I really liked the episode it reminded me of super crack-y fanfic

I'm a week behind on Rings of Power but I'm pretty impressed that the writers went deep on the whole thing about the orcs being twisted elves, AND that they therefore have souls and hearts. Not sure how to make this all consistent with the Jackson movies, I have to admit.

Andor is the best new show on TV right now. It’s the best I’ve seen in several years. It’s a completely different thing than other Star Wars, and it’s REALLY GOOD.

My friend Rio was saying the same thing.
