You have SO much amazing and interconnected content ahead of you, always so jealous of newcomers in that regard. No doubt you will enjoy 🖖
Do yourself a favor tho, don’t watch the animated Lower Decks show until you’ve seen a good amount of trek series, the series is FILLED with old and new trek references/themes/stories that while still very enjoyable you won’t get everything. Although perhaps it would work in reverse and as you see in old trek what you saw in LD as a reverse reference haha
