Casual Trek

8. Casual Toons

There are so many Star Trek shows that we’ve got three more pilot shows to watch! No, not Picard. We’re still putting that off. There are enough animated Star Trek shows for us to have a whole episode based around them, and we’ll be mixing live action and animated shows from now on (mainly to help our Jeffrey Combs episode idea). It took some effort for me to bother with Lower Decks and that was the first of these shows I saw. We’ll get into it a bit and I feel like me criticising Lower Decks episodes for being a bit MacFarlane will be the new Miles calling every modern Trek episode “a bit Whedony.”
