Give Lower Decks a chance.
Maybe he just moves his eyes anyway maybe as a way to express an emotion or a feeling that maybe only people who know him would understand.
I second that. Lower Decks is brilliant. Yes the first few episode Mariner can be annoying as hell but give it a few episodes and as the show goes on it gets better and she gets less annoying. In fact you grow to like her.
Definitely give LD a chance, but it does take a few episodes to click. Mariner was annoying to the point of obnoxiousness at the start - but then in retrospect that was entirely the point. When the show peeled back her layers, it revealed a really interesting, complicated character; but it started with leaving a sour first impression so that deconstruction could happen. It was a pleasant surprise to find such nuance in a comedy-cartoon, and something deeply lacking in the other nuTreks.
Yeah, she was quite annoying but, as said, that was the point and they dig into her more. The biggest problem I had was just the SPEED of the dialogue. I had to turn on subtitles. But again, that was 'cos I'm so very very old and they are so young and excited :)
Tawney Newsome is actually a bit older than Mariner. In fact she's too close to Dawnn Lewis's age (Captain Freeman) for them to be
Mother and daughter.
I'm very late to the party here, I didnt even know Strange new worlds had been made and released, thought it was still in the planning stage! Anyway is it good/bad/just ok?
Ermmm Excellent!
It was extremely well received across the board, with the 10th episode being considered among the best Trek episodes ever.
Just jumping in, I heard this was decent. Where are you lads watching this? I have Netflix prime and Disney. Tell me it's on one of them.
Paramount+ is the only service streaming it afaik.
I cannot. New service called Paramount+. Avail of the 7 day free trial, watch 2 episodes a day and cancel before you're charged.
I read this and initially kinda thought "... is it?", somewhat conditioned into a bias that all nuTrek is at best, grand - nothing special. But you know what? On reflection, yeah. I agree, and that's a fair shout: "A Quality of Mercy" was bloody fantastic and absolutely top-tier Trek.
Arrrrrrrr. I be a pirate lads!
Unrelated though, looks like I might as well cancel all those subscriptions. Because many a time I go looking it's not there. Too much fragmentation lads. It's a joke.
Melissa Navia, who plays Lt. Erica Ortegas on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, on returning for season two after a devastating, unthinkable loss.
For the whole time we were together, Brian made the impossible possible and sincerely believed, as I did, that the right role would come to me, and when it did, I would be ready. The absolute truth is that I would not be part of the Star Trek universe today if it weren’t for him. Originally from Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, Ireland, Brian was a musician, songwriter and singer, with a voice that my words cannot do justice describing.
Touching personal report on overcoming grief to continue working/acting.
She was on the Moncrieff show on Newstalk back in May as Paramount plus launched over here and it's touched on. https://www.newstalk.com/podcasts/highlights-from-moncrieff/melissa-navia
Seems pretty determined to maintain her Irish connection.
If we ever decide to do a boardsie trekkie drinks meet up, I vote we do it in JJ Houghs music pub in Banagher Co. Offaly. Michael Hough of that family is the Orion from episode 7.
maybe in Ireland but internationaly there are options. i watched it on TVNZ here in New Zealand
Watched it for the third time straight through on my day off on Sunday, just bloody brilliant!
Just catching up on the last few episodes today and this is a solid series of Star Trek, it's such a contrast to Discovery it's not even funny. Back during season one of Discovery when all the little inconsistencies and annoyances were driving me nuts a common response was something like "well they can't do a series that's faithful to TOS" and now they have.
There are quibbles of course, like Anson Mount always says "delay that" instead of "belay that," but I'm looking forward to more.
Quibbles, nooo, bring on the Tribbles - has there been a ST show without them, they need to make a guest appearance
Voyager was tribbleless, and the one in TNG was a stuffed toy.
Shame on Voyager, but they were in a different galaxy so...
And stuffed toy still counts!
Did ENT have tribbles ?
I feel like SNW prides itself on it's sense of humour so won't be able to ignore something like tribbles.
Phlox had one in his menagerie in one episode. They'll have to write around Spock not knowing what they are a few years later
They can just have something small that isn't part of the wider plot.
As long as they dont canonize the stupid ST story about them being man made.
The tribbles are gross. Little hairy balls of flesh, yuuuuccck.
So......... Cats?
I'd take a Tribble over a cat!! Lol
Do Tribbles have a thing with water like Gremlins or is it just food?
I think Star Trek Picard was tribbleless also? Unless there was a tribble skeleton in the alternate universe in season 2 (I don't care to rewatch).
I pulled a D&D and kind of forgot about Picard.
