Like, advanced technology, focusing entirely on intercrew arguments, (terrible dialogue and cheesy action), ships flying sideways, no knowledge of ship operations and procedures. Magic technology. Blasters of different colours so we can tell good guys from bad guys. Robots and drones. Really, that's the big one.

If you hate star trek so much Kurtzman, just make a different show.

    Yeah lower decks is alright - but they meant it to be a joke.

      Check out Jessie Gender's interview with the creator of Lower Decks on YouTube. It's a comedy but it's not meant to be a joke. It's canon and bringing the story forward from DS9. There is a concerted effort to make it count as real Star Trek as well as be a comedy.

          They have Micheal FUCKING Okuda as a technical/design advisor. It's the most real new Trek simply based on that alone.

            That makes sense. It really does capture the feel of star trek.

              For sure. Mike McMahon, the creator/showrunner says in the interview they have piles of old books and ship blueprints and everything in the writer's room to double check for consistency and to just skim around for plots/gags
