Oh please let's not 🤣

— Hey, you know how other shows make sequels to really great, memorable episodes?

— ...yeah?

— I know how we can subvert that:

Yes, but hear me out: what if you pull down your shirt at the speed of ligh?. I posit that for just a second your belly will show through it.

That was the one that caught my eye, too. Also, probably the one best suited for my budget.

Finally, the Doctor Who crossover we deserve.

Something rotten at the core of Starfleet? Surely not...! 🤣

It's an old chestnut, and well overdone by now, but the real question is whether they can give it a new spin, or simply make it work better than, say, in "Into darkness".

At least they're not pulling known characters out of mothballs for this, so I remain optimistic.

Oh, the XenoGorn? Gornomorph? Let's workshop that name a bit.

Difference is, there were straightfaced Star trek series airing when Lower Decks started. Now, the only show running (well, there's Academy as well) is doing high camp every week.

But they definitely do a lot of genre play, and recent interviews with the showrunners indicate that it's completely intentional, and unlikely to change any time soon.

It's certainly intentional, I just wish they'd keep their hands on the wheel instead of following every inane impulse that crosses their mind.

As for changing, well — the show is going to end after next season, so there's a very definite change.

Perhaps, if every other episode wasn't already a gimmick genre swap. Trelane and/or Q worked fine in plain science fiction where they were the wacky trickster element in and of themselves.

I'd really prefer this show to take a chill pill and focus on telling solid stories rather than doing cleverpants narrative gymnastics.

Soap Opera episode

WTAF. Enough with the damn genre exercises already.

Hold up now, that's Galaxy quest erasure! 🤣
