⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x03 "In the Cradle of Vexilon”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Assorted thoughts and observations as I watched (reposted from the other place):
- Oh, shit, we’ve got a space-ring!
- Don’t you hate it when the god-computer starts lagging?
- Ransom: Hidden art critic.
- Boimler leading an away mission. What could go wrong?
- “Everything that has ever occurred is science stuff.”
- "And or dismemberment"
- Was that fucking NOMAD?
- Lancelot the Ferret.
- The update is going to screw it all up, isn’t it?
- Yep.
- I love how the artists just go and start painting the fallen freeze-cloud.
- Is this the first time that the Kzinti ensign has talked?
- Blindfolded saber fight!
- “A mountain, or possibly a volcano has appeared.” (boom) "Ah, it is a volcano.“
- T’Lyn is great.
- Move Along Home
- "He overdosed on Ketracel white”
- "BRADWARD, NO!"
- OH GOD, IT’S A KOALA!“
- Very 2001
- "You never forget your first death.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x01 "Twovix" & 4x02 "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Observations and thoughts as I watched (initially posted at the other place):
- We begin with “Twovix”.
- Holodeck waste material, AKA jizz, poop, and god knows what else.
- Oh, hey, T’Lyn!
- DAT VOYAGER THEME!
- Oh, hey, the probe from the one with the whales!
- Neelix cheese!
- Shit did get freaky.
- Oh shit, they’re going to Tuvix Billups and T’ana!
- “Janeway straight-up murdered Tuvix.”
- MACROVIRUS.
- The Pike Thing, of course.
- “Back in the 70s”
- “Captain, I caution against socializing with the organism.”
- So many VOY deep cuts.
- “Holy shit. Janeway didn’t mess around.”
- Macrovirus of Borg. And robotic warp salamander of Borg.
- “Water, room temperature.”
- This is definitely T’Ana’s side of T’Llups.
- Oh god, they tuvixed the Matt the whale! Wait, what about Kimolu? Is he alright? Is he okay?
- A Tuvixy meatball!
- Heh, the real solution to the Tuvix conundrum was just to keep merging until it’s a nonsentient blob of meat so there is no murder, so to speak.
- Oh god I just realized that we’re going to get so much Tuvixy fanart.
- Bizarre series of Voyager-themed obstacles.
- SHE GOT A PIP
- Beckett Mariner receives the fate worse than death for her: promotion.
- Nothing ever good happens “somewhere in Klingon space”
- RIP Klingon lower-deckers.
And now, episode 2:
- Heh, Romulan lower decks.
- Goodbye, Romulan lower deckers!
- Heh, those 80s workout stuff.
- Oh, cool, Boimler still has his Tom Paris tplate!
- Please tell me Denty has a Memory Alpha page.
- The Nacelle is right there!
- Non-botanicals
- I have just met Moopsy but I would die for it.
- Oddly enough, this is the SECOND time this year that a Jack Quaid character looked at a VERY bright light. Shoutout to my boy Richard Feynman, the one man crazy enough to watch a nuclear test without goggles.
- Okay, I would no longer die for the moopsy.
- Tucker Tubes! Good old Trip got stuff named for him!
- The Ad Astra Per Aspera poster!
- I do feel like Starfleet would have better soundproofing, but then again this is the Cerritos.
- RIP corn guy.
- LIVIK!
- Aww, D’Vana Tendi giving orders.
- Teeth as bread crumbs.
- Heh, the humans really are the worst.
- Hah, he could have just used the viewports.
- Overall, I think I liked this second episode more, even though I loved the VOY fan service.

Given Archer’s test pilot background, I’d like to think he was from Hammondsport, the hometown of Glenn Curtiss.

THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS AS I WATCH:
- NOOO, I DON’T WANT THIS TO END!
- Previously: The various stuff happened.
- Oh, hey, Cayuga captains log.
- Nice of them to have a colony modeled after an Earth town. Saves on budget.
- “SIGNAL LOST.” In space, a dropped call can mean only one thing: Invasion.
- Oh, we’re doing the Independence Day thing?
- Telling a Starfleet captain to just do reconnaissance is basically telling them to go weapons free.
- Nice little tinge of one of the TOS scores at the end of the cold open. Someone more geekier than I can probably place it.
- If you ever feel like you are useless in life, just remember that there is a “skip intro” button during a “Space, the Final Frontier” monologue.
- Is the “Gorn Protocol” a hand-cannon with with a diamond?
- She flies the ship!
- I’d like to imagine there is a deleted scene where they glue every piece of junk they have onto the shuttle.
- If they’re going to do a “is someone still alive in the wreckage” storyline, they probably should have flip-flopped Batel and Chapel’s spots, given that we obviously know she’s going to live.
- They keep giving Jenna Mitchell lines! FREE MITCHELL! Give that actreess a cast credit, cowards!
- Ah, a good old fashioned beam into the sky.
- Oh, look, a Gornzooky!
- And… vaporized.
- More Gornzookies!
- Oh my god, it’s young Scotty. Hopefully this means Keenser is there. I always loved Keenser and his ability to sit on things he isn’t supposed to.
- Doesn’t seem like Keenser is there :(
- Of course Scotty would engineer a way to save people. He truly is a miracle worker.
- Smashing a piece of space debris is a very… brilliant idea.
- Pelia continuing to harass Una for her poor academics in engineering.
- Why do I get the feeling that whatever plan Spock has to put the rockets on the hull will also allow him to check for survivors?
- Wow, imagine that, Chapel is alive! Imagine that! Whoever would have thought! (Seriously they should have flip-flopped her and Batel if they were going to do this)
- USE THE MORSE, CHRISTINE!
- Oh, now she grabs the spacesuit. Although I guess she didn’t need it yet.
- WARNING: GORNZOOKY
- COMMAND CODE INVALID’
- That looks like a bigger Gorn. An adult? Or at least like a teenager.
- So incredibly Alien.
- “GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM, YOU BITCH!”
- Oh shit, she’s been impregnated with gornzookies. A very zombie movie trope.
- “There’ll be time later.” Before or after you get engaged to Dr. Korby?
- “We need to abort some Gornzookies.”
- Yeah, Scotty would be a shitty student despite being brilliant.
- OH FUCK THE GORN KIDNAPPED THEM
- TO BE CONTINUED?!?!!?! Okay, who wants to drive to Hollywood and personally beat up some billionaires? I want this strike over NOW and I want a conclusion WITHIN A YEAR, A YEAR AND A HALF MAX!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canon Connections: 2x09 - Subspace Rhapsody⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

James is Sam Kirk’s brother, who was introduced in the episode “Where No Man has Gone Before”.

Deep cut. Love how they continue to flesh out these obscure characters from Trek canon!

We see lieutenant Mitchell in the captain’s chair, I believe for the first time.

Kind of hoping they promote Rong Fu to a regular simply so that she is no longer the only bridge crew person who isn’t.

IKS par’Machstreet Boys

This is canon now.

I can only presume that you are currently doing “Those Old Scientists” but may die in the process.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x07 "Those Old Scientists"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Yep, they confirm it in Ready Room. Apparently Frakes’ wife was dying from laughter watching the episode when that happened.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to Feature First-Ever Star Trek Musical Episode | SDCC 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Let’s face it: this isn’t even in the top five strangest things to happen to a Starfleet vessel. Arguable if it’s even in the top 10.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x07 "Those Old Scientists"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Still kind of hoping that one year they do a “Trials and Tribble-Ations” tribute episode where they go back to the Enterprise during TAS and splice in the LD guys in in the TAS style.

They could call it “Those Animated Scientists”

Thoughts and observations as I watched over at the “other place”, special Saturday night/early Sunday morning edition:
- AHHHHH, WE’RE DOING THIS ON A SATURDAY!
- AHHHHH, WE’RE GETTING THE CROSSOVER!
- AHHHHH, A CROSSOVER BETWEEN A CARTOON COMEDY AND A LIVE ACTION DRAMA!
- AHHHHH, IN GENERAL!
- First off, that they have “Those Old Scientists” as the title is (chef’s kiss).
- Previously: Nyota had a really bad day, La’An got a bad case of Kirk hotness, and Chapel/Spock had a bad case of hotness for each other
- OH GOD WE’RE STARTING ANIMATED
- "Numero Una"
- Tendi would like to remind you all that the Orions have a rich and varied history.
- "You guys look… very realistic."
- AHHHH, ANIMATED OPENING CREDITS!
- Hahaha, the thing that eats the Ceritos Nacelle!
- AHHHH, THE KOALA AT THE END OF THE CREDITS! WHY IS IT SMILING, WHAT DOES IT KNOW!?!?
- “But flipping it open is the best part”
- “Computer, end program.”
- “Worf’s honor.” DANGIT!
- I wonder if Frakes showed Quaid how to properly do a Riker maneuver
- "You just… laughed."
- Ah, we’re tying in with what Tendi said.
- Boimler is a toddler knocking over furniture.
- "We have jetpacks now"
- Pike’s birthday is a holiday… CRAP!
- Boimler freaking out over the fact he made Spock laugh is such a Boimler thing.
- Hey, a reference to his sehlat!
- I like how they are using this episode to also move the other plotlines forward.
- HE MENTIONED PIKE’S REALLY GREAT HAIR
- Triticale, as opposed to Quadritriticale.
- I totally saw Mariner coming.
- Dystopian San Francisco!
- “Have you noticed their references are weirdly specific?”
- “Hot Spock agrees with me”
- "It’s a poster that is pinned up"
- I feel like Tawny herself probably demanded a scene with Uhura
- Ah, there’s the Boimler scream!
- “Holy Q!”
- “They had a Trelane thing going on.”
- “He had to contour the hell out of the jawline”
- “Oh, I already know.” Hahaha, they finally got out-future knowledged.
- Oh god, are they going to steal a piece of an NX?
- Oh, just a piece of it in the Enterprise.
- The “Mistress of the Winter Constellations” strikes again!
- Of course Ransom calls Una the hottest first officer in starfleet history.
- Hahaha, 2D animation Enterprise crew because they are drunk!
- All-time classic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x07 "Those Old Scientists"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
They also tied in to Tendi’s story on LD (her constant reminding to people that Orions have a culture far beyond pirating), even though we didn’t see her in Live Action.
