I've never been a huge fan of "adult animation", or really animation in general. So I had to get over that hill of bias. But once I did, I found I enjoyed this show. Those Old Scientists on Strange New Worlds is actually what made me go back and give Lower Decks a second try.

Anyway, I'm excited to see where season 5 goes. I also kinda want another live-action crossover.

This show, like most trek, really found it's footing after one or two seasons. The characters have depth and personality and don't just exist for sake of the jokes.

I still struggle with some of the crass humor, but that's because I'm rather particular about what I find funny. The last season was particularly good on character building and they did set it up for a very exciting new season indeed.

I would love for them to do a cross over show again but Roger Rabbit style.

@IonAddis @USSBurritoTruck I have a hard time with animated adult shows too. The plots always seem too simple, like sitcoms. I recently tried to get into Attack on Titan. Liked the concept, but the shows were very simple and predictable. Same thing with Love, Death and Robots and Lower Decks. (Love the other Treks, but predictable plots lose me.)
