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.

I haven't seen the episode so take that into consideration, but probably not very. Lower decks hasn't broken that much new ground

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.

Let me help you out: Boimler is a Feliz, and Mariner is an Oscar.

Now can someone explain all four LD characters based on their M* A* S* H counterparts? I want to make the joke but I’m literally not old enough to.

I haven't watched past S2 of Lower Decks, but if you like slapstick humor busting at the seems with fanservice and callbacks then you might like it.

You don’t need to. It might even help you figure out if you’d like Lower Decks.

0% important. I haven't gotten around to Lower Decks yet and I thought the episode was fantastic.
