Exactly that: Lower Decks! It’s absolutely brilliant. The first season was a bit rough in places but the rest have been 🤌 There was even a Lower Decks crossover episode in Strange New Worlds, it was possibly the best thing ever
I mean it’s outright canon. It’s part of the canonical Prime Timeline/Universe. That was demonstrated through SNW but also because we were told that it was.
Don’t sell the show as being something other than it is, please.
That Star Trek universe is what caused half of it to begin with. There are an insane amount of random nonsense that happens across all other Trek, equally as crazy as in Lower Decks. It just so happens to be that how they can visually show it is more pronounced in Lower Decks than it would be in other Trek.
There is no such thing as a realistic Star Trek universe and there never has been. Not when you have Abraham Lincoln floating in space, a giant green ghost hand in space, a ‘God’ who is imprisoned inside the center of the center of the galaxy, another ‘God’ who judges humanity, Amelia Earheart frozen in time, Earth Dinosaurs who made spacecraft to escape asteroids, having sex with a space ghost who lives in a lantern, mushrooms that permeate the universe, pretty much anything from the Mirror Universe, ‘Red Matter’ that can stop a supernova, Warp 10 Salamanders, and many many many more things.
What show is this? A star trek adult cartoon or?

Lower decks and yes, off cannon semi-quasi cannon adjacent but mostly tropes and fun references.

I mean I would say it’s canon-lite. A lot of the jokes or cutaways don’t really work in a realistic star trek universe but that’s fine.

Well considering that Strange New Worlds had a musical episode I’m going to go ahead and say that they can canonize pretty much anything they want.
