    @ValueSubtracted I know it’s a minor point and there’s not a lot to be done about it but Boimler is one of the shortest main Trek characters and Jack Quaid just towers over everyone else on the Enterprise.

      The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That’ll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.

      While I’m personally not really interested in a animated comedy Star Trek, I do understand why people like the show.

      That being said, I’m really not excited for this crossover at all. I think Lower Deck’s style, particularly in its dialogue, will just bring out the worst in Strange New Worlds. I expect it’ll fall to whether you do or don’t like Lower Decks whether you’ll like that episode.

        I thought the crossover was alright despite the fact I’m not a fan of Lower Decks. However I do think this season of SNW is way too comedic and lighthearted, like they’re trying to be The Orville almost (well, it’s first two seasons anyway, because ironically the third season of The Orville comes off as more serious than SNW now).

      I didn’t really want to post this, because I think it’s unnecessarily negative and people here seem to enjoy it.

      But now that the cat’s out of the bag… I hate this type of humour so much. I feel like too much of it has already spilled into SNW, it makes it a difficult watch at times. The episode before last, for example.
