Friends, Romulans, and countrymen: Lower Decks looks like a ton of fun and then some. There is definitely a more adult vibe to the show, which should come as no surprise since Rick and Morty scribe Mike McMahan is on duty. With this in mind, the deep cut jokes about the Star Trek hierarchy and canon also come through loud and clear, teasing at just how fun a watch this show will be for Trekkies everywhere. It also feels like such a refreshing take for a Star Trek series? Like, how did it take this long for a Star Trek property to take this approach to the unseen side of Starfleet? Regardless, Im all in. . . .

there are no more sacred cows where the Star Trek franchise is concerned.

I'm going to give it a shot, which could also be a sign of how desperate I am for anything Trek.

Plus, look at the thumbnail for the video. That ain't 2038...lol.
