    Best episode yet. Absolutely brilliant. I loved it all.

    I woukd not be surprised if the mystery ship is not solved till the last episode of the season or even the next season sometime. I honestly thought I was going to be this episode but then it went off on a whole different path from the beginning but it was really good and funny with some cool easter eggs too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Some quite funny parts in there, and I enjoyed getting some of Tendis backstory, but I think maybe they could have left out the Boimler and Rutherford stuff and spent the episode on Orion. I enjoyed it, but felt like they were trying to cram an awful lot in there.

    Was that the same ship class as the Raven in the junkyard?

    Lighthearted fun, and continuing the tight character focus that they've had this season. But it's also still small in scope, which makes the larger arc opening frustrating and repetitive at this point. T'lynn was better used this time, acting a good straight man/foil.

    I liked it a lot. This was Lower Decks doing what Lower Decks does best.

    This too shall pass.

    That was fun. Didn't feel very ground breaking or anything. Definitely laughed at the gags here and there.

    Thought they might go more into the longer story arc with the ship at the start attacking Orions but looks like they left it there.

    That was fine. Not great. I’m really not a fan of the Orions tbh.

    Biggest chuckle was the two Mark Twains, if only because I’m now looking forward to hearing what the Greatest Generation / Greatest Trek guys make of it.

    If not all Orion women have the pheromones wouldn't the ones that do be in charge as a kind of aristocracy? It's an obvious competitive advantage.

    I enjoyed this one actually. Was a nice change of pace from the previous episodes which were mainly just Easter egg dropping without much substance.

    I'm starting to wonder if the mystery ship is actually killing people off or de-materializing them for a later purpose. Reason being that they seem to be introducing lower decker characters (including the Klingon lower deckers from season 2) only to "kill" them off immediately afterwards. I'm guessing it might be building towards a finale where the lower deckers we've been briefly introduced to are the ones who save the day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,414 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    No, sorry there's debris left after the attacks. They dead.

    This too shall pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Evade


    Or is that what they want you to think?

    Like they can still destroy the ships while beaming the crew out. We've seen weirder things on Trek.

    I enjoyed it and loved how they fleshed out the Orion culture and Homeworld. Real sense of deepening the Lore.

    Really starting to like T'lyn. Fantastic addition to the show.

    Showing the Raven class ship was cool.

    Laughed out loud at the plagiarising pirate bit lol.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    I enjoyed that a lot (Especially the running gag with the daggers). Just a bit of old-school LD fun. Lighter on the Easter Eggs (Which was good. While they do them very well but it's good to have a wee break from them). The Twin-Twains were very funny

    I love how all the pre-credit sequences are practically identical. Obviously the mysterious ship destroys them but all the back-stabbing/scheming. Would be funny to see a snarky Vulcan-style-backstabbing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Evade


    I picture a Vulcan backstabbing as an improper citation/attribution in a scientific paper



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,273 ✭✭✭Rawr


    I was thinking the same with T'Lyn. She's a pretty decent "Friendly Vulcan" kind of character. Seems to fit in with the Lower Deck group pretty well. (I guess because she's from the Vulcan version of a Lower Decks)

    I love how they keep finding ways to create different versions of Lower Decks on each Trek race that get destroyed by the probe in the cold openers.

    At first I was a bit unsure about where the on ship story was going but the Twain stuff really had me smiling.

    Also I thought Mariner was surprisingly restrained on what was essentially a sex planet.

    Really enjoyed that episode: the need for everyone to get a bit meant Boimler & Rutherford's B story was more superfluous than usual, but the A material was just that. Lots of really good gags, and the Orion stuff didn't feel too over-egged; not entirely sure an entire race dedicated to skullduggery tracks - but then this is Star Trek with its Planet of Hats trope, so why not own it? The running joke of the dagger stabbing Mariner was a particularly funny bit.
