Finished it. It's still pretty great. Instead of "reviewing" it or whatever, I'll just talk about what I want to see in the future (because it's good enough that I want to see more of it). One thing I want to see, no make that two things I want to see, in season 3 (after they resolve the "to be continued" cliffhanger at the end of season 2), the first is the Wesley "The Traveler" Crusher thing, which seems like a pretty sure thing.
The second thing I would like to see in season 3 (or at some point, at least) of Star Trek: Lower Decks...
Basically, I want to see something akin to the "Trials and Tribble-ations" episode of Deep Space Nine, where they went back in time to the Original Series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles." Except, in the case of Lower Decks, they'd be going back into an episode of The Animated Series in a similar fashion. I mean, it doesn't even have to be one episode. Could be "More Tribbles, More Trouble," could be "The Practical Joker," could be that one where they met the devil, or any combination of those and the rest. It would be interesting to see the Lower Decks crew trying to... um... let's say, emulate the animation style from TAS, in the same manner that the DS9 crew tried to emulate how things were in the Original Series era (like how Worf had to hide his forehead ridges due to Klingons not having them back then). It'd be worth it just to see Dr. T'Ana and M'Ress in a scene together, if absolutely nothing else (or maybe something happens to M'Ress that requires T'Ana to have to try and pretend to be M'Ress for a while or something). Oh and, of course, they'd totally need to bring back Mulder and Scully I mean Dulmur and Lucsly for this, too.
Hell, given that Wesley Crusher is aTime LordTraveler now, they could even combine the two things I want to see into one thing (or bring Wil Wheaton back again after the first thing for the second thing). Really, I wouldn't mind Wesley "The Traveler" Crusher becoming a semi-regular guest on Lower Decks in the same way that Q was on Next Generation (and DS9 and Voyager and Picard).
In the incredibly unlikely event that someone in charge of Star Trek: Lower Decks (or Wil Wheaton) happens to read this post, take this idea absolutely for free, I don't care. I just want to see it.
