Enthusiastically Ambiverted Hopepunk
Book 47 of 2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ordered this just after it won the Best Graphic Novel Hugo award this year. The combination of choose-your-own-adventure plotting and Lower Decks humor works really well. Lots of humor and various Trek callbacks, but with some surprisingly dark moments as well, all leading to a fittingly Trek-ish end. Much fun!
Here’s a gag I’d like to see on Lower Decks: Either through needing to research something that happened on the TOS Enterprise and reviewing ship’s logs, or perhaps (if necessary, though it’s been done to death) through a time travel mishap, we see the TAS Enterprise crew in all their ’70s Filmation glory.
Here’s a few quick mockups I tossed together using screenshots from the first LDS episode.
The TAS bridge crew says hello to…well, a few random background extras, I guess, since this was the only bridge shot with the view screen in LDS S01E01.
Captain Freeman looks up some historical data on Captain Kirk while briefing Ensign Boimler.
Someone reviewing one of Mr. Spock’s science logs, perhaps?
