    It would explain why Q showed up on Lower Decks which deliberately focuses on unimportant Star Trek characters but Q knows they are the focal point of a show.

    I have only seen a couple Lower Decks episodes. I found them moderately entertaining. From what I can tell, while it spoofs Star Trek, it spoofs out of love not derision. Like Galaxy Quest, only not as good. I think Lower Decks is not as filling or satisfying but not a bad product if you temper your expectations appropriately.

    Two part answer to this. 1st part is that I love Galaxy Quest and it hits all the right nostalgia buttons with proper tongue in cheek. 2nd I am not the biggest fan of soda in general due to it being sweeter than I enjoy. That being said if I am going to drink it I don't drink diet versions as they tend to taste vile to me. Dr. Pepper is probably the only one that tastes decent but still diet tastes off.

    In my opinion, Galaxy Quest is one of the greatest parody media ever made.

    Lower Decks is much worse, but I still think it's entertaining.

    Something doesn't have to be a timeless classic for me to watch it and not regret it afterwards.

    I've never seen Lower Decks but thats more that I have so much backlog of older media I want to see that it's a few years out.

    Soldiers, by Giuseppe Ungaretti

    We are as

    in autumn

    on branches

    the leaves


    (The poem was originally written in July 1918, in the trenches near a forest in Courton, Reims)
