MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor"

The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.

I think you might be in a minority on your dislike of Lower Decks.
Also, violence has always been part of Star Trek and if you don't like profanity, you are posting in the wrong fucking place.
Also, Patrick Stewart is a huge fan of Beavis and Butthead (or at least used to be), so I'm guessing he doesn't have much of a problem with violence, profanity or sophomoric humour.

I don't remember where I saw or heard it, but when I was younger I came across an interview with some of the other cast of TNG talking about how Patrick Stewart originally came in this very disciplined classic Shakespearean actor and how he really started loosening up after a couple of years.
That's a fun fact. Now it makes more sense that he also does voice acting on American Dad, I'd have to think he's okay with all the violence/humor in Seth MacFarlane shows (American Dad, Family Guy, etc.) along with other "adult" animated works.
now we just need him to cameo on the orville… i expect they’d do it so perfectly
Hehe, cool. 😎
Goddamn it would be amazing to talk to Patrick Stewart , but instead of Shakespere or Star Trek, talk about Transmetropolitan and Mike Judge works.
