  Loved this episode, weirdly my favourite aspect was seeing all the “Other Deck” characters again: Delta shift, Westlake, Barnes, Bingston, Meredith, Stevens and the cadet who needed help studying.

  Stevens in particular showed his worth as an organised and thoughtful adjutant to the Captain, was great to see him show his worth as something other than Ransom’s biggest fan or just the butt of jokes.

  Heartfelt usually but not always equals The Tendi Effect on LD to me hah. I agree about the subplot being weak - both for Mariner and also Boimler/Rutherford which was pretty much a slapstick sketch.

  I would’ve liked to see something like Boims struggling to think of a first book to take to T’Ana’s book club, with Ruthie enthusiastically but haplessly trying to suggest things (usually engineering related)

  Loved seeing more of the Cetacean Ops crew, plus those ENT unis

  Really nice article of what she did to improve the representation and perception of women on Star Trek, also weird but cool that she worked on Quincy ME previously: womenatwarp.com/jeri-taylor-woman-in-the-writers-…

  Thanks for your service and safe journey amongst the stars, Jeri 🫡

  Good innings, Maggie, fly high. 🫡 Think I first saw her in Hook as a child

  Couldn’t agree more, though I would say it also distracts from the need to highly regulate capitalism at large, i.e. encourage reinvestment in employees (pay at least in line with inflation, training, etc) over shareholder dividends or CEO bonuses

  Well that sucks, ironically I connect my C2 to the net for the NFL gamepass sub I’m actually paying for. Guess it’s back to illegal streams on the desktop PC

  Heard a lot about that over in the US, no surprise crappy Ticketmaster brought it over here. Already on my avoid list as they block VPNs, kinda “you can’t fire me, I quit!” vibes but I don’t regret it

  Mobile plans as standard here (in the UK) offer SMS for free, can’t remember when they used to routinely charge tbh. But I think I only text my dad as he’s very old school, everyone else is Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram

  Prime example of why second homes need to be more heavily taxed, and loopholes like switches to “local businesses” closed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting “Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!”

  The Klingon scene was easily my favourite moment of that episode, reaction was a millisecond of complete surprise followed by splitting of sides

  Love it, also I finally cracked under the weight of your advent calendar posts and ordered the USS Thunderchild. If Blue Brixx release the USS Prometheus that’s another purchase from me (see feddit.uk/comment/4417683)!

  Oop yup, meant Constellation class?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's talk starship classes!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Akira, a slick updated take on the Miranda imo! In my head canon this took over from that and the Excelsior class as the workhorse of the fleet.

  2. Species 8472 bio shop, still remember my original reaction of being blown away. Love that the profile reminds me of a missile

  3. Prometheus, though The Doc/Voyager crew were the heroes it was cool to see an ultra militaristic Starfleet vessel. Multi vector assault mode!
