10 Things We Learned From The Star Trek Lower Decks Trailer

9. Familiar Interiors

Star Trek Lower Decks Interiors
CBS

The interior corridors on board the ship bear a strong resemblance to those that have been seen on the Enterprise 1701, 1701-A and 1701-D, keeping the aesthetic in line with much of Starfleet - a very nice nod to continuity in the series.

One of the loudest criticisms of the new series is that people are concerned it will be either too different from what has come before (very similar to the criticisms leveled at both Discovery and Picard) or that it wont be in line with the established canon. This show is set in the years following Nemesis, yet not as far in the timeline as Picard.

The interior looks as though it could have been any other ship in the fleet - something locking the show into the sacred continuity that so many cherish (this author also enjoys a bit of continuity, make no mistake!)
