As someone who is a trekkie: Season 1: this is a pretty generic adult animated comedy that happens to be set in the Star Trek universe Season 2: this is actually a pretty good show that happens to be set in the Star Trek universe Season 3: this is actually a really good Star Trek show Season 4: this is unironically a strong contender for my favorite Star Trek show

For Trekkies, there's arguably an extra layer to Peanut Hamper abandoning the ship instead of sacrificing herself for it, too. Her "species", the Exocomps, were introduced in an episode of TNG as mindless robot drones to help with whatever, but the episode shifts gears when these Exocomps stop obeying commands when ordered to go into hazardous situations. They slowly realize that the Exocomps have gained self awareness and don't want to sacrifice their lives needlessly. So knowing that, everyone asking Peanut Hamper to sacrifice herself for them feels... Well like, when you join starfleet, you accept that you might have to do that for your ship someday. But it still feels awkward lol. "Hey I know your whole species was considered expendable, but could you blow yourself up to save us please?"

Watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 7 These Old Scientists which is a cross-over episode with Lower Decks. Boimler and Mariner go back in time to meet the Enterprise crew jumping from cartoon into real life actors. I'd also recommend episode 9 Space Rhapsodie which is the only musical episode of Star Trek.

Personally I hated lower decks, I am a trek fan but more of a casual fan. I enjoy TNG while I cook for the chill vibes but that's really all I've ever seen. I was initially excited to hear about lower decks but after dragging myself through a few episodes I realized it just wasn't for me. It is essentially Solar Opposites with a Star Trek skin. Now there's nothing wrong with that, but I also hated solar opposites. I felt the voices were annoying, the characters were one dimensional and for me the jokes fell flat.

See your statement that you really don't care about Trek but like Lower Decks is the only reason for NuTrek ("Trek" since 2005) existence! You see Trek had always it's goofy and comedic episodes but never directly moked Trek itself or its fans! You explicitly mentioned the "Bat'leth drunken slashing"-Scene which you only find the "funny" bits entertaining but in full context it basically boils down to Mariner very drunkenly mocking Boimler for recording a making a log entry! You see making a log entry is a VERY Star Trek thing and many episodes since 1966 start with such a voice over. Mocking Boimler for that and wanting to be a proper grown up Starfleet officer is the very core of what Star Trek till 2005 used to be. The makers basically mocked all of Star Trek and it's fans with that one single scene. This one scene in the trailer made me - a lifelong fan - to disregard everything of LD and never watched a single episode of it!
