    How important is it that I see Lower Decks first? I keep hearing good things about it, and I will get to it eventually, but I’m not familiar with it at all beyond the premise.

      Haven’t seen it so I can’t say for sure, but I would at least watch a few episodes to get to know the characters. You may end up getting hooked and binging it, it’s a great show.

      It’s more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you’d probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn’t written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.

      I’d also like to know if there are specific Lower Decks episode(s) that should be watched first to fully appreciate the crossover.

        Almost every anachronistic reference the Lower Decks characters make are references you’d catch from DS9, TNG, or Enterprise. You probably won’t enjoy the campy silliness as much as fans of Lower Decks, but it’s a great episode regardless of the crossover.

        None. If you haven’t watched it it’ll make you watch it

          I have watched a chunk of the first season, but for some reason it didn’t click for me. Which is weird because I love The Orville. Loving Strange New Worlds so I’m looking forward to this.

            It gets better, they were still finding their stride in the first season.
