Star Trek: Lower Decks is first and foremost a parody of Star Trek itself. The series is formal canon, aided by the emotional honesty of the characters despite their wacky adventures. It takes great joy at using that status to dig up the more embarrassing parts of the franchise's past, and does so with the affection of a true fan. But its observations cut no less deeply for it.
