All of the characters were intentionally designed so that they could be played in live action by their voice actors if they so choose. There's no reason why Noël Wells or anyone else couldn't show up as say, a bridge officer in some later live action post-PIC show.

Man I just really like this show.
As a 4th Gen Californian, I loved how this season finale was about Texas once again trying to steal Californian jobs and falling on their faces. Great finale that went hard. Probably afterglow talking but it’s the best one yet. Also T’Lyn’s back squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Edit: Also there’s a short, mostly insignificant post-credits scene for this episode.

I’ll second that, it was a good’un. Tied up a few things, let the cat doctor swear a couple of times, ejected a god damn warp core , Paul F Tompkins.
It’s a good show!

That was a fun finale
They met the same fate of all Badmirals: hoisted by their own petard. Also, I loved how obvious it was that the USS Aledo was going to break bad since they gave the ship's computer the same visual coding as M-5 from the TOS episode "The Ultimate Computer".

Dang, that was really well paced! Got a lot done in 20 minutes. The last couple minutes was kind of funny with the rapid-fire resolutions of multiple characters. I loved that the adventure archaeologist subplot was a complete non-starter with Mariner just assuming it would go south but it never did.
Badgey as series big bad is the best thing.

Showed a friend an episode of this show. He wasn't interested at all (doesn't like Star Trek at all, I guess), but Veritas is just such a good episode that he said he liked it. Granted, he only knows old Trek, and even that only partly, generally liking more modern, faster stuff. So it's probably not surprising that he doesn't care for stuff like TNG. And he does like cartoons that are at least vaguely similar to Lower Decks, so I was pretty sure he would like it. Still, Veritas is a great episode, is my main point (a great episode of a great show).
The new season of this nifty little show starts today.
There are TWO episodes today.

Strong start to the season, I loved that the first episode was basically a Voyager funhouse and they didn't even need to bring in any of the main cast to pay loving homage to it. (Also it's hilarious that in the Voyager episode we have our team of Ensigns all being promoted, sans Rutherford but he still gets his later, poor Ensign Kim continuously getting shown up)
Season 4: Episode 3 -- I really really really like the addition of T'Lyn to the show. The whole scenario feels like, "What if Daria was added to the cast?" And I am very here for that.
It’s wild that this year we’ve gotten:
S3 of PIC
S2 of SNW
And now S4 of this show.
The gravy train could keep going, but it’s assuredly going to end after this. I really friggin hate hate hate the Hollywood suits that are depriving us of even more of this goodness all because of unbridled greed. This could have been the best year of Star Trek in decades, and instead it’s going to end on a sour note, followed by a needless drought.

That was an awesome episode.
Boims and Rutherford are precious
T’Lyn is my everything

T'Lyn has been such a natural fit it's kind of amazing that the showrunners didn't initially consider adding her after the one-off episode she appeared in and seemed surprised by her popularity.
Loved the running gag of Mariner getting knifed in the shoulder multiple times. It's such a simple gag but so funny to me.
I think they considered it for sure, because if you'll recall that episode ended with her being shipped off to Starfleet. And IIRC work on S4 began before that episode even aired. But yeah, adding a proverbial "straight man" to continually comment on the insanity/shenanigans of the other four Lower Deckers adds a perfect balance. I'm just surprised they didn't realize that from the get go.
I loved the part where Mariner was like Oh hell no, Imma just hide over here, this is too wild for even me - and the knife still ricochets its way to her shoulder
Fantastic episode this week confirming that T'Lyn is a great addition to the cast. Feral T'Ana was a hoot, and the Betazed trio were a lot of fun (and I'm pretty sure one of em was voicied by Eda from Owl House, we need Wendie Malick voicing more surly ladies in animation).
The season has been on fire so far.

Oh and there's a one-shot comic out now that's part of the 'Day of Blood' storyline that's going in the IDW Star Trek comics, but this one is about Shaxs during that event.
And I mean, I know it's an alternate cover, but how can you not be sold by that third image in the twitter post?
