“I’m Sorry, I’ve Gotta Be Honest, I Didn’t Join Starfleet To Get In Phaser Fights. I Signed Up

Hot Take: the reason why 'Lower Decks' (and 'The Orville') "feel more like Star Trek" than do 'Discovery' or 'Picard' is because the baseline for American drama series has gotten so dark over the last twenty years that a tone matching 90s Star Trek can now only be achieved by marketing it as a comedy.

And yes, when you think about it, that's...kind of sad.

CAPTAIN KIRK 😂😂😂

*To the tune of "Uptown Girl"*

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

Lower Decks gets it:

“I’m sorry, I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t join Starfleet to get in phaser fights. I signed up to explore, to be out in space making new discoveries, and peaceful, diplomatic solutions. That’s boldly going. And you know what? I’d love to be in a string quartet. I loved that when Riker was on the Enterprise he was out there jamming on the trombone, and catching love disease, and acting in plays, and meeting his identical transporter clone Thomas. That stuff may not seem as cool as what you guys do, but it’s Starfleet. All the way.”

some of my favorite funny spirk moments from the original series. subtitles included. enjoy!

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

Not to start drama but…you can’t tell me that one of these is not more visually interesting than the other.
