I'm sorry you didn't like it, Iiii obviously didn't particularly either. It makes me remember how they were all talking about already filming s2 when s1 came out. It is disappointing. I hope they will get back to the SNW of s1. What is most frustrating is that Lower Decks is consistently good Trek specifically, so they do still know how to do it, they just don't seem to want to put any money into it? Even though their shows keep eventually petering out because the core audience of Star Trek is -- weirdly enough -- Star Trek fans. I am concerned that they will not listen to negative -> lukewarm feedback because they will just be like oh now you don't like the good one either, we can't please you! But, like, you can! It's so easy! You're already doing it with Lower Decks, all you have to do is make good Star Trek that isn't some weird action movie/soap opera mash up with Star Trek theming.
It's not that I didn't like it, I hoped more, well every ST series has mediocre episodes, in S1 the episode in costume was not my cup of tea, maybe we are unlucky that this was e1, will see the rest of the season if it get better.
Yes, I did like things about it also and I am hopeful next week will be a return to form. I feel like they can't go very wrong with the Lower Decks crossover at least. (I hope...)
