"Star Trek: Lower Decks" News & Discussion Thread

I'll compromise.

There should be two versions of the series made available on both P+ and DVD.

One can keep the bleeps, the other must remove them.

According to this post from Tawny Newsome, Lower Decks will start airing on Comedy Central and the next season will premiere this year:


Given the pandemic, I think only animated Star Trek content will be released this year.

Hopefully it won't be long before a live-action Trek sitcom is commissioned. It could be called "Start Wreck" (sic). It should be part of the CBS network's sitcom line-up, as well as having a serious Trek show on the network, returning the franchise to network TV for the first time since Enterprise was cancelled in 2005.

I only regret that my dad didn't live to see Picard and all the Trek shows debuting after it. He was a huge fan of the series.

There actually is a Finnish Star Trek parody movie called "Star Wreck." The movie is legally on youtube with English subs, but it has quite a lot of NSFW language, so I'm not sure I can directly link it, but it is the first result you get when you search it.

Eh, I would say that Strange New Worlds could arrive this year. Emphasis on could.

I think it's about time for the mods to rename the thread Star Trek Lower Decks News and Discussion Thread. The title as is is confusing.

Good idea.

Star Trek Lower Decks looks it came from a Family Guy cutaway gag.

Um, no. Have you ever seen it? It's great.

 

[Dragnatek]

Similar art style sure but it's humor is better then the average Family Guy gag.

Still shocks me it got 2 more seasons despite hearing its test screenings being the worst in CBS history. Mental note, never rely on 4Chan for news about TV shows ever

It has won people over. It is the best modern Trek show and this is coming from someone who likes Modern Trek. This show has won over many people who hate the rest of modern Trek. The ones who watched it in good faith anyway.

The first episode is the weakest.

 

[RoyalRubble]

There will be a "Comic-Con@Home" panel for the show on July 23.

I want P+ to release uncensored versions of the S1 episodes at the same time they premiere season 2.

I understand the bleeps make it funnier. But stuff like that should be reserved for Fox cartoons, it shouldn't be used on adult cartoons made for streaming. It defeats the whole purpose of streaming services having no content restrictions.

There was a 15 second teaser for season 2:

Psst! Season 2.

Yes, I'm a nerd.

 

[Leviathan]

I tried, but couldn't get into the show.

It's says a lot that the article meant to hype up the new season is all about about Easter eggs and references, rather than why we should care about the characters and story of this particular incarnation.

So, I feel putting the bleeps on the show without making a bleep-free version available to me is as bad as when Samuel L. Jackson is not saying MF in one of his PG-13 movies. Only one such movie, Big Game, has permitted Jackson to do so. He's notably never said it uncensored in his appearances as Nick Fury in the MCU (though it could change with the new Deadpool movie, which will be R-rated).

So, not permitting SLJ to use MF in a non-family-friendly movie is as just as much censorship as putting bleeps on a TV show made for a streaming service. According to Jimmy Kimmel, both moves would be unnecessary censorship.

So, SLJ should be allowed one use of MF in future PG-13 movies starring him, and if we're going to put bleeps on Star Trek: Lower Decks, there should be a bleep-free version made available too - having two versions is a fair compromise.
