    I want so much to watch it. But it’s only 20 minutes, and the intro plays everytime, and a recap every episode. There’s like 12 minutes of show.

      Recaps every episode? I was thrown that there even was a recap before the show finale, because I don’t remember seeing one before on Lower Decks.

      12 minutes of show, LOL no. The shortest episodes are ~23 minutes. Bar the intro and credits they’re still 20+ minutes of actual story.

      Might be the appliance you’re watching it on? On my Apple TV you can skip the intros, skip the recap, and at the end you can skip the credits to go to the next episode (after seeing who all the guest voice actors were, natch).

        I use streamio.
        Still, why are they wasting half of the runtime with title credits and recaps. Do we really need recaps for a 15 minute story?

        Is it because it’s animated, then… Put two shows together. Or release episodes further apart.

        I agree the credits are basically must watch

          When you’re binging one episode after another you don’t need recaps, but that’s not always the case, and even when it’s just a few days or a week I’ll forget what the hell was going on (I’m old, and I think my brain is full and does a poor job adding new information).
