Though to be fair, the reality is that no matter how advanced we get there's still gonna be fart jokes in space. That scene in the cafeteria where everyone's getting Bortus to eat random things seems like a far more realistic vision of a space-faring post-scarcity future.

This is exactly why I love lower decks, it's so much closer to how we would probably act in the 24th century vs the heroized live action stuff lmao

The Enterprise bridge crew are the best of the best. Lower Decks is a story about the mediocre of the mediocre

Ehh. Mighta been born that way (even that's debatable) but definitely not anymore. Tendi is the ass-kicking heir to a pirate dynasty, Rutherford is an insanely talented and obsessive engineer, Beckett seems borderline unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat and explicitly dodges promotions, and Boimler is Boimler.

Im hoping they figure out how to rotate fresh characters into the cast as the originals fade away (ie Tendi), and let the cycle repeat until canceled
