    That’s what makes Lower Decks cringeworthy for some people (not me): they lean on the fourth wall all the time, they act more as fans than as people in universe.

      And that’s why I love it. Star Trek has way too many goofy moments to take itself too seriously.

        For real. The musical episode in SNW is around the seventh or eighth goofiest premise for an episode, and I’m not even counting Lower Decks.

          That episode crossed the line to “unwatchable” for me. “We’d love to sing” should not be a reason to have such an episode. I like Christina Chong, but knowing she pushed for this episode soured her character for me.
