I am not sure if I can properly describe how much I love this show. I got into Star Trek because of my older brothers, and they had NCC-1701 but I consider NCC-1701D mine. When I was younger I enjoyed every episode with such awe, and now as I rewatch the episodes I see just how well written the show is. It tackled ideas that are still just as relevant in such a smart and thoughtful manner.
Illustrating the Lower Decks episode was so much fun because it showed how you could create an interesting and captivating episode by barely focusing on the main characters; by presenting some of the million other stories that happen on the Enterprise every day. The episode was so special you can see its influence in other shows like Dr who and even created a spinoff so much later is pretty amazing.
