Star Trek: Lower Decks

Future terraforming tech, tho

Four locations in this pic...

a little further south, it seems... but an old girlfriend married a guy who has a vineyard in Gonzales.
Nothing weirder than seeing your old flame's face on a wine bottle

Otoh if it was a bad breakup you can finally smash her face in with a bottle

I have no idea how to respond to this?

full disclosure... I missed the on ramp for this one.

No shade intended, but I think domestic abuse humour has gone the same route as child abuse humour. The silence has been broken on the issue and there's no longer the stealth therapy it once provided.


Still... good one.

I agree with the domestic abuse optics, but that's not how I intended it.

no worries, never presumed such of you.

Thanks for this!

Having access to a bunch of people's personal logs is a different thing from having created contemporaneous backups of the official public logs that were corrupted, though.

Boimler could be personally from Modesto while the family could have vineyards elsewhere nearby. Modesto is about 2-3 hours drive away from the Wine Country, according to my Googling. Also, in the future, they may have expanded the farmland parts of Cali to be even closer to Modesto.

Well, I'll be goddamned!
Romijn and O'Connell pulled it off!
SNW and LD are crossing over in season 2 of SNW.

Season 3 full trailer!



Heh heh, they're making fun of the ST09 parachute scene!

DS9!!!!!!!!!!

I don't DISlike that show but it's still a giant "meh" for me.

I could not be LESS enthused. I can't imagine a worse idea. Do this shit to Discovery if you must do it at all.

I'll reserve judgement for the episode.
"These Are The Voyages" looked good on paper, but "Trials & Tribbleations" sounded silly, but delivered the goods.

A mixed live-action/animated SNW/LD crossover seems like it belongs on LD, not on SNW.

Also: Yay more dolphins! And DS9! (Will this be the first time DS9 has been shown on screen since the show itself ended?)

Mariner flashed back to being there on her old ship in season 1.
She had an Afro, and her friend turned into a "The Thing" type of shapeshifter.

They showed the promenade in the first season.

Anyone think this is how Sisko comes back?

nope

but this might be it

Kinda sounded like Michael Dorn saying, "This is an unauthorized launch."

I'm kinda hoping for that.

Speaking as an ENT fan at the time we got those spoilers...no. This was never a good idea to turn one show's finale into a send off for a series that got seven seasons and four movies to wrap things up. If we had gotten to see the Titan and moved the story further, maaaaaaybe, but from what I recall of the remaining fans still on TBBS, most were pretty new to Star Trek like I was and seeing TNG in their ENT didn't give them the warm fuzzies at all, and many questioned the judgement of Frakes and Sirtis for even agreeing to that.

And then to add further insult to injury, they killed Trip off in a convoluted manner that not even the soap operas I watch have managed to top, which many to this day are convinced was Rick Berman giving the bird to fans for soundly rejecting his terrible writing. Given everything I've learned about the man since, it's not out the realm of possibility.

That out the way,I think a better example would be "Regeneration" because whoo boy did THAT idea piss EVERYONE off when we got the synopsis for it. I still hate the episode on principle, but in retrospect it makes it way onto nearly every ENT top ten list. Plus, it did better by the Borg than Voyager or Picard, so....

Slight nitpick, but Mariner was actually stationed at DS9, not passing by

Here's the non-geo-locked trailer for folks who don't live in the United States of Cuckoo Bananas Land:

I liked Regeneration... it made sense in the post FC timeline more than a lot of things
but yeah, TATV is the confession from the Bs that they were the problem.

far point station?
Martok?
PEANUT HAMPER!!!!

Brannon Braga, I'll give SOME leeway on because he has at least apologized for what a terrible idea that was. He was a terrible producer and wasn't the greatest with character writing, but he does have a few good episodes under his belt. Berman OTOH is a hack who got in the position he did because Roddenberry's toxicity post-divorce from wife #1 pissed off all the TOS era writers, noteably DC Fontana, and they quit by season 1 TNG. His credentials pre-TNG includes one failed PBS show and....nothing else.

He's the poster boy for how having the confidence of a mediocre white man will carry you far in this world.

Today's the day guys! Nice um...liftoff of the new season. Can't wait to see more.
