It’s not a show to get new audiences into Trek like Prodigy. Lower Decks is written by fans for existing fans of TNG era Trek. It is non stop obscure Trek jokes.
I don’t even recall the chest-bumping or “shield ups, shields down” song they’re referring to, but apparently it’s such a big deal that the other 39 episodes are garbage without even seeing them.
Have you watched Lower Decks?

They apparently don’t like LD because it has “chest-bumping admirals” which… okay? It’s a cartoon. It’s not supposed to be serious.
It’s amazing to be that a show as diverse in themes as Star Trek could lose fans because they decided to make a few jokes.
Hot take: People who can’t appreciate Lower Decks were never really fans.
