I honestly think that Lower Decks has the potential to be the longest running Star Trek show.
I assume they are cheaper to produce than the live action shows so less risk for the executives but still decent return on investment.

I would love for them to do a cross over show again but Roger Rabbit style.
I would love for my food metaphors to come back
The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”
But why? I don't see a storyline connection/similarly between this episode and "The Inner Light".
I think the episode is just about Mariner's inner fight about being in Starfleet, and the similarity in title is just coincidental.
Lower Decks, the TNG episode was an amazing episode. I almost cried at the end - it was so sad and poetic as well and I agree that reviving her now would undo the beauty and weight of the TNG episode.
Mariner always has the funniest way of being annoyed or angry
Currently weighing up whether to get my partner to watch First Duty and Lower Decks before we watch it together later.
Both. The answer to that is both. Two of the finest TNG episodes.
I have a Volante Next Gen-style Trek jacket. It's awesome, high quality. It's subtle enough that non-Trekkies don't notice other than it being nice-looking, but Trekkies will recognize its homage to TNG. I've been stopped on the street multiple times already by random Trekkies asking me where I got it, lol.
It's really expensive though (315 USD)
This is the same guy who directed the Black Mirror's Star Trek homage episode "USS Callistor"
