I've been following Lower Decks but I've only seen two Strange New World eps (the first ep and the Aliens xenomorph ish type ep) soooo will I still enjoy the crossover, even without knowing much about the strange new crew?
I would have loved more tender moments like in the end with the Orions. Btw, what series did Orions first appear in?

I love that the Orions were written exactly as if they were in a Lower Decks episode. That last little negotiation felt like Pike and La'an were the ones visiting. Oh, and how cool was it that we got to see the old Orion ship again and in pretty CG? God.The LD episode, I watched last night and loved it! I liked that the Andorians really appreciated that they weren't assumed to be pirates, and that they were able to peacefully resolve everything. Also, the guy playing Boimler is really tall, they should make his character a bit taller to match in LD.
I realized while watching this latest ep that I think I like this guy better as Kirk than Shatner (blasphemy I know).
That's largely my reaction to the comments I've seen elsewhere vs. here about the upcoming musical episode.You know whats great usually after ep of a show drops and you look at reactions of it your slapped in the face with some really bad take of some sad clown that didnt like the ep
I have not seen that take so far with SNW TOS Im sure there someone why has a no fun stick shoved firmly up there ass, but I have personally yet to see that
Genuinely this seems like a well liked ep all around
Those of us who like musicals* can be rather enthusiastic about them, so I think this is a longstanding division. For some people, the musical format just doesn't click or do anything for them, and I think people can fairly or unfairly begin to feel like the target of proselytism and respond defensively. It seems parallel to conflicts I've seen between furries like me and the people who really, really don't get it.Seriously, people who don't like musicals REALLY seem to hate them, don't they? Glad reactions here haven't been like that.
