How important is it that I see Lower Decks first? I keep hearing good things about it, and I will get to it eventually, but I know very little beyond its premise.
Boimler is ambitious but kind of clumsy and awkward and stickler for rules (despite the boimler rule). Mariner is basically Ferris Bueller with the mouth of a sailor until her friends/family are in danger and then she's MacGuyver/007. (I also just realized I'm dating myself a lot of those references and I hope they still work.) The show is definitely written by fans of star trek that also are comfortable enough to poke fun at the source material.
Edit: that's probably enough to enjoy it, but I haven't seen it yet so don't know if they reference any lower decks story arcs heavily.

Almost every anachronistic reference the Lower Decks characters make are references you’d catch from DS9, TNG, or Enterprise. You probably won’t enjoy the campy silliness as much as fans of Lower Decks, but it’s a great episode regardless of the crossover.
I have watched a chunk of the first season, but for some reason it didn’t click for me. Which is weird because I love The Orville. Loving Strange New Worlds so I’m looking forward to this.
Haven’t seen it so I can’t say for sure, but I would at least watch a few episodes to get to know the characters. You may end up getting hooked and binging it, it’s a great show.

It's more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you'd probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn't written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.
What?!? Hell yes! Just about to start my weekend and the wife is out watching Oppenheimer. This season kinda started off sluggish with the opener, but every episode since has been solid
But everything new other than SNW is going away at the end of this month. It looks like Bell Media’s streaming licence is winding up and all the new stuff will be on Paramount+ in Canada rather than Crave.
@ValueSubstracted has confirmed with Bell Media that CTV Sci-fi Channel will continue to have everything - including Prodigy!
So, we’re sticking with linear for this.
And Bell Media knows it’s audience and is delivering a ‘Special Presentation’ to CTV Sci-fi Channel tonight so we’re golden.
Considering the level of coordination it takes to make anything cohesive on those, let's see spez try and downplay us again with 'only a small percentage of users'.
Yep! I think it’s also a great example of how well a simple message can propagate. The whole emotional force of about six weeks of emotional drama has boiled down into eight letters, repeated by… what would you say, thousands?… of individuals.
I think everyone here should head back to Reddit to ensure the final canvas has as much black/white "FUCK SPEZ" as possible. Going back for a day isn't going to save Reddit from itself, but you can maybe save some Redditors from Reddit.
I think that this is just for r/place (and even then it's still scummy), but if the Reddit executives have shown us anything, it's that they don't act according to rational thought. I could easily see them keeping this pixel icon as the default, no matter how stupid that might be. Or they might keep coming up with things to make new icons for so you always have to pay if you just want the default original.
