        Or just watch all of Lower Decks, while you’re there. Though I do agree that Peanut Hamper is a highlight (for me anyway - I’ve seen strongly divided opinions on this. :)

          I loved it, my bf who had never watched Trek before LD, was just confused. To be fair, LD is so reference heavy it’s not a good one to start with.

            Indeed, it’s clearly a show that’s made by people with an obsessive love of Star Trek as a whole. Most of the really obscure stuff wasn’t central to any plots, but it’s still a little more fun being able to point and go “oh! The giant skeleton of Mr. Spock hanging from the ceiling! That’s from that one weird episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series with the enormous clones!”

      Ahh I misspoke, what I call the Peanut Hamper trilogy includes the TNG episode. But Lower Decks season 1 episode 10 is where the artificial life form gets their name, and season 3 episode 7 has the wildest story arc for this character. It’s a real treat!
