Or, maybe he's going to die five minutes in so you know how serious it is. Maybe he's just Crewmember Number Six who gets killed on their first mission.
In this episode we learned that WAB doesn't know how to spell "Cheetos", and is also racist against Hispanics.
Shit, I missed a big update on August of last year! I've got Lower Decks programmed into my RSS now, so that'll never happen again. Anyway... Source- https://trekmovie.com/2019/08/06/st...second-contacts-cleaning-holodecks-and-canon/ Tidbits to take away- LD takes place 1 year after Nemesis. The uniforms are unused designs from "Generations". They're going to address cleaning (read jizz-mopping) the holodeck. The Cerritos handles second contact, so we'll see the followup to a lot of first contact episodes. Character descriptions of the 4 main ensigns- Ensign Mariner: She is kind of a classic Star Trek hero. She is a little bit Kirk, a little bit Riker. She doesn’t really play by the rules necessarily and thinks outside the box a bit, but gets the job done. And she is really, really good at Starfleet stuff. She is the ultimate Star Trek nerd. She knows a little bit about everything. But she has been demoted so many times, that is why she is on the lower decks. So despite knowing everything, she is really bad at taking orders. She is kind of like Maverick from Top Gun. She would buzz the tower. Boimler: He is our by-the-book and obsessed with rank. He wants to be captain one day and thinks following protocol is the only way he is going to get there. He is wound super tight, which makes him a perfect foil for Mariner. He will get to the captain’s chair one day, if he can take a page from her and learn there is more to Starfleet than just following the rules. Tendi: Tendi is a huge Star Trek fan who has got into Starfleet and is an Orion and this show her first day getting to work on a Starfleet ship and it is wish fulfillment. We are channeling what if one of us got to work on a Starfleet ship. The original pitch for her is there is no job too lower decks that she isn’t losing her mind for joy over…She’s like if the optimism of Starfleet was turned into a person. Rutherford: An engineer who just recently became a cyborg and isn’t used to it yet. He is only complaining about his implant because he doesn’t understand how to use it. Rutherford is like Geordi La Forge, if you don’t solve the problem in 40 minutes. Every episode he’s like “I got this,” but he sometimes does not have it. [example exchange between captain and Rutherford] “I need 20 minutes” “well, you have 10” “no, seriously I need the full 20”…I’m not doing the Scotty thing, I probably need 30.” And the 4 main bridge officers- Captain Freeman: She is as capable as a Starfleet captain as you would want them to be. But she is just not on the most important ship in the fleet. Commander Ransom: He is kind of like a chill, smug Riker. Lt. Shaxs: He is our beefcake Bajoran. Dr. T’Ana: She is kind of like a super-Palaski, angry cat from a junkyard. She is not purring at anybody. She is a good doctor, but she’s an unpleasant cat. Dr. T'ana is also a Kaitian like M'Ress, so they're tying in TAS. Mike McMahan says you're going to see lots of references to TNG, TOS, and TAS.
I'm pretty sure it just means like when Dax was geeking out over the 2260's in "Tribbleations". The logs of Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway are probably the MCU of their day.
Interview with the voice actor for Boimler where he basically just hypes the show. But nestled in there is the tidbit that the voice acting is done, and it should come out on schedule sometime this year. No announcement for the release date yet though. Also, they're already working on season 2. https://trekmovie.com/2020/06/15/st...-for-trekkies-with-work-on-season-2-underway/
A couple pics, and the showrunner hinting there might be some TNG cameos. https://trekmovie.com/2020/06/18/ne...ils-and-images-plus-hints-at-next-gen-cameos/
As for the first TNG cameo, the obvious choice is Riker. He's in Enterprise, Voyager, Picard, and as Thomas Riker in Ds9. He connects it all.
Which is why they should go with Worf’s kid. He’s probably about the right age to be a peer of those kids.
Poster! It reveals the USS Cerritos. It's a Galaxy saucer with a nacelle array underneath. It also reveals the release date! August 6th. Then, every Thursday after that for 10 episodes. More here. https://trekmovie.com/2020/07/01/br...date-on-cbs-all-access-uss-cerritos-revealed/
This looks bad at first glance, but still interested in watching it. I hope my gut instinct is wrong and that the show is actually good.
Held my phone up the computer speaker and the Soundhound app identified it as "Fantasmagora" by Jo Blankenburg (Sept 2018)
Yeah, I was going to say that I was certain I’d heard that piece before. There’s a whole crop of people who make a living these days cranking out compositions that folks can license for use in things like trailers and podcasts. See if you can figure out which trailer this was used in.
Sorry to nitpick, but how the hell does the crew move from the saucer section to the engineering section? It looks like they'd have to take turbolifts through the warp nacelles, which sounds like a bad idea.
Now that I'm able to see it on a decent monitor, WTF is up with the creases on that image? It's like it was a map that came with a copy of National Geographic or something.
Maybe main engineering is inside the saucer, and the thing between the nacelles is a great big sensor pod/deflector dish? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Sensor_pod
I guess they have to ride a workbee to work. Which, comedy wise, gives them something more to bitch about!
