Now this. THIS is an interview. A lot of fun ideas, stealing props, and just good natured nonsense.

I just want more live action Boimler and Mariner

Oh my Q yes!

Nothing will kill my enjoyment of a show faster than the seemingly inevitable and obligatory musical episode. I pray it just stops at one since that’s probably my only hope.

SNW has been an excellent show that I've greatly enjoyed, but each season has had one episode that stands out as being incredibly sub par.

In season one, it was that weird fantasy one that felt like an attempt at doing a holodeck episode without the holodeck.

In season two, it was the musical episode.

You just named 2 of my favorite episodes. Clearly they just weren't for you? The fantasy one did a fantastic job showcasing a father's love for his daughter and the musical episode was both funny and moved the characters forward a lot... I don't see how either of these could possibly be bad things but ig to each his own.

I'm down for both, I enjoyed the crossover and I think they could do a really funny musical episode.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Those were only awesome because they were one-offs. Can't replicate something that is special for that reason.

Please god no more musical episodes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

As much as I want every Star Trek show to now have one musical episode once a season –– just to annoy Subspace Rhapsody grinches –– I don't think it's funny enough for Lower Decks. I would love to see an episode where, like, the same anomaly happens but it makes everyone speak exclusively in limericks, or some shit like that.

I'm all for another crossover, but please no more musical episodes, they're the worst.

The one they did in SNW was the best!
