It Wasnt That Confusing Or Inaccessible - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
So I keep hearing veteran Trekkies talking about how Lower Decks must be *so* inaccessible to new viewers because they have all of those references. But then on the other hand, I think I've seen more new fans watching Lower Decks than any of the other series. Like, I think the canon references are just a bonus for long-time fans. I think that new fans probably just parse them the same way that they would parse any of the other wacky offscreen adventures that get mentioned. I don't think it's the continuity lockout that critics seem to think it is.

lower decks
lower decks was my first star trek
it wasnt that confusing or inaccessible
and probably the thing that confused me the most was the pips and ranks
i fully thought that ensign was a rank made up by star trek and not an actual navy rank
i also thought that the orville was another star trek show so i was hella confused when the orville had blue for command
i was also confused when i went from lower decks to the original series due to the uniform colour change (like kirk wearing yellow)
i love lower decks
