Lower Decks 4x01- 'Twovix' ~~ { ** Spoilers Within ** }

Well that was a Easter egg packed episode I must say. I was not expecting to see Voyager so early in the season so that was a surprise and then the Macro Virus and then it being assimilated lol. Also the Clown and some from Fair Haven too lol. They fitted a lot in maybe a little too much. It seemed kind of rushed at the end.

Nice to see a few promotions too do on the Cerritos and the Vulcan there as well.

I will say it was not the funnised ever episode of Lower Decks do.

First two episodes are up on paramount+

Fun seeing Voyager again.

Anyone know what the cylinder shaped ship that they added to the Borg cube credits scene is?

It's the Probe ship out of Star Trek iv The Voyage Home.

Aspects of it remind me of the future human ship NX-01 found.

The fiend! Mrs Columbo will track her down. Kate loves a mystery...

Could someone explain why T'Lynn is wearing Maquis rank insignia instead of corn pieces.

The “lozenge” rank indicator indicates “Provisional” rank, which is what the Maquis crew-mates got in Voyager, but appears to be a default rank function for when people are cashiered into Starfleet from other organisations. It is interesting to see it here in Lower Decks.

Interesting that T’Lynn gained an upgraded rank but still remained “Provisional”. I guess her whole Starfleet commission itself was provisional regardless of rank, and was likely the status of the Maquis on Voyager until they got home.

I still wonder why Tom Paris didn’t get a Provisional rank, since he was cashiered in from jail due to joining the Maquis.

Ya that seems to be the case that except for the fact that we never see Earth ships and also when the Federation is practically on its knees in the Dominion war there is only Starfleet ships.

Star Trek has always had a sort of make it up as you along style which is one of its few downsides when comparing it to some of the other top sci-fi and fantasy.

I think it's more like the UN myself in that all the Worlds help out but basically use the same equipment but they also have there own fleet etc as well.

Agreed. I guess being the core of the Federation’s operations also means that United Earth use mostly Federation equipment out of practicality.

Jesus folks, I missed this. I missed seeing a new episode of Trek and debating the inns and outs of the Trek universe without having that joy sullied by a Discovery character chewing the scenery. I love Lower Decks, long may it live.

We have seen the Vulcan ships in battle.

It's just one of those things it's best not think too much about. Just like warp salamanders 🤣

The little Borg salamander gave me a giggle.

Very good opening episode.

Presuming the big bad this season is that yolk which blew the Klingons

Very funny moments and great to see the promotions.

Holo characters were hilarious.

They spent a lot of time designing the sets for Voyager for just one episode. I'd say we may see Voyager again.

A Borg cube just chillin out in the alpha quadrant and everyone is okay with it?

"blew the Klingons"

Been on rule34 again have we 🤣

Oh I've caught up lol

Good good.

As you were.....Ensign

Star Trek typically uses position above rank anyway where a lower ranked person left in a more senior position is in command. Geordi did this in the Arsenal of Freedom and Homer did it in the Simpson Tide. If Harry was left in command by Janeway/Chakotay/Tuvok he could give orders to Tom/B'Elanna/Carey.
