Star Trek: Lower Decks, which will focus on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships. .... “Mike won our hearts with his first sentence: ‘I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end.’
The fact that she failed horrendously while he stayed in improving every time will not be lost, I imagine
2.8: Ah that was a lot of fun. Felt like it hit it's high point in the middle
with Boimlers escape and blowing up the cube.
Kinda eased it's way to a finish after that.
Loved that saving Borg baby wasn't enough to get 100%
Also was anyone else surprised the Mariner was horrified rather than getting stuck into Naked Time
The different holopods were great use of nostalgia while serving the plot
Oh and I will never get this out of my mind
Ha Billips is still just hanging round reading a padd with an orgy going on
Really good episode this week. Lots of Easter eggs in there
Poor Boimler do he was up to 98 per cent against the Borg and because of the situation to help the crew out had to stay in there and ended up get assimilated lol as excretis of Borg lol and only an 8 per cent score not that it mattered anymore after they found out your one was a fraud.
Poor Tendi she could not kill the Klingon and then when the other medical officers did they brought him back to live lol. I suppose I should feel more sorry for the poor klingon lol or Poor Marineer getting to see more than she ever wanted of the crew lol. The Doctor sleeping on Shaxs ass lol.
That one was pretty good. Did they do something to the Cerritos model? The establishing shots looked really nice this episode.
I see where Mariner gets her annoying "I know best" streak now, although a captain kind of has that right. I want to see Boimler get a promotion and stay on the Cerritos at the end of the season, lieutenant JG is still a junior officer.
The Cerritos model did get some touch ups this season, to reflect the refit at the end of season 1. Mostly just some improved details and lighting, e.g. lights around the shuttle bays.
People have been banned for posting much less. Pass the eye bleach please.
I hadn't noticed until now
That was a great episode. Absolutely fun and definitely character building.
One of the best of season two.
The Borg babies LMAO
Remember when VOY had one of those then it just kinda disappeared
True. But Lower Decks have had some great consistency in its story telling.
Also they didn't nerf the Borg or anything as it was a holodeck.
I am right that the number of Borg babies kept increasing right? Lol
I'd buy an Eaglemoss of that.
My only complaint this week is we didn't get longer in Mariner's mirror simulation.
Just thankful they didn't make it look all Sovereign class.
That was probably the one I enjoyed the most so far this season.
I particularly liked the score of Borg segments. I think they pulled over the music and tone of BOBW for that.
Again I enjoyed myself a lot.
Also…starting to see why there’s going to be a kid’s version of a Trek show. Really can’t show kids this one :P
Why what's wrong with the Sovereign class? It's a great looking ship.
I would also buy an Eaglemoss ship of the Cerritos just to see what other designs they had before coming to the final design and because its not the worst ship but not the best either.
Freeman demanded that they NOT make it all Sovereign like during the refit
Of course it would be the one time Boimler exceeds and is the absolute boss, nobody notices, his score isn't officially marked and is left scarred by his "success" for the crew's sake. Guy made the Borg look easy; unless it was just cockiness born from knowing it was a simulation.
There have been two major animated series running side by side for the past few weeks, this and Marvel's What If. Now I consider myself a bigger MCU fan then Trekkie but honestly I've been looking forward to Lower Decks far more than What If every week.
Had it been the real thing, he probably would have **** himself.
Except how he handled last week...
I think that's possibly where the story's going; Boimler realising he's a good, talented officer who just gets in his own head too much. That if he just stops getting in his own way, he'd be an ace.
He's someone without any pretensions or star power, but puts too much stock in the celebrity of the officer class and their myth as perfect beings ... and OMG he's Tilly. I like her but Man, Tilly written by this shows writers would be so much less a simpering mess.
The one thing I don't get, about this show...
Where are the non-coms?
Trek always had a ridiculous lack of constantly with that. A lot of the time it looked like everybody was at least an ensign.
TOS had yoemen and crewmen and DS9 at least the senior staff were not all high ranks
It is one detail that bugs me a bit. Star Fleet academy graduates assigned bunks in the corridors and made to sonic shower in unisex communal facilities. Cadets I'd understand but at least give ensigns something like 6 person dormers. Harry Kim had personal quarters for crying out loud.
I think it's a tribute to the TOS movie style bunks before someone realised how big ships in Star Trek actually are. Voyager is about the same size as a Nimitz class carrier but one has a crew of less than 200 the other over 3,000, excluding the air wing.
The other possibility is they're taking a leaf out of the Terran Federation from Starship Troopers' book (the showers are definitely a nod to the movie). Service is and should be hard, at least in the beginning, and lower ranks have to earn creature comforts.
If the ensigns sleep in a corridor I'd hate to see where the boot crewmen sleep.
I'd wonder if it's only the crappier (Cerritos) class ships have the sleepy corridor but classier ships have more creature comforts.
Yeah that seems to be the case. Like the senior officers on the Cerritos were surprised to hear they slept in a hallway so they must have had more comfortable accommodation when they were junior officers. From what I can tell from other shows, it's generally 2 to a quarters at Ensign level with own quarters at Lt. JG and up.
