...I have no idea if I'm looking at an actual show clip or a very well made fan thing. All I know is that I need to watch Lower Decks. But it's also something that my SO would appreciate, and it's hard enough to make time to get through TNG (her first Trek). Gah!

That is 100%, pure, Lower Decks footage. It'll be tough, but it's worth the wait given the sheer number of references from every source of Trek. Stay patient, stay strong.

It will be painful and slow, but I appreciate the support lol. I've got a lot of catching up to do myself, as stuff got in the way of consistently watching DS9 and even getting into Voyager (being a teenager), Enterprise (being an adult on night shift), and any of the streaming stuff (being an adult both burnt out on streaming subscriptions and way behind in the lore). It makes sense to go through things together with her, but... yeah only watching like 3 episodes a week is excruciating lol. Especially since I am a natural born binge-watcher.

Go watch it now! That's Dr. T'ana. A Caitian...Here's an actual scene from this glorious show:

Tendi: You mean I'm gonna be doing actual science?! Like Jadzia Dax?!

T'ana: Who the fuck is that? I don't know who the fuck that is. No, like Spock!

That's one of my favorite things about this show. They reference characters from other shows a lot but unless it's a hero character (like Kirk, Spock etc) they usually don't know who they're talking about. Cuz why would they?
