Everyone here saying they haven’t watched lower decks needs to just go watch lower decks.

@Donebrach @Madison_rogue And they better hurry. You never know when Paramount might just arbitrarily decide to remove the ability to watch it.

Well, as it happens Crave customers in Canada have only until July 31st.

After that, it will only be available on the CTV Sci-fi channel - at least until its new Canadian streaming home is officially announced.

@Piecemakers3Dprints The crossover ep isn't available in port yet. I'll drown my sorrows with grog until the morrow.

Thanks for saving me the search 🤪🤘🏼

And what of us who need more Lower Decks?! 😭💀

There is a Lower Decks comic series with the same art style. You could read those.

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I would have waited until Thursday to watch it if I hadn’t seen this here.

Not to be one of those people that yaps on about that aggregator site that makes money leaching off of content provided and moderated by users or anything, but this would be my first instance of hopping onto something posted to the Fediverse that was unexpected and awesome and so much fun!

I'd have dully waited until Thursday, too.

Definitely a treat! You're welcome!

Surprised how much the VA’s actually look like their characters, that’s actually pretty cool.

Vordus ,

My suspicion since even before the crossover was announced was that they designed the characters to look like the VAs in case they had the opportunity for cameo appearances down the line.

I love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.

It was so hyped for so long. I was beginning to fear that it couldn't possibly live up to expectations.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Fuzzy_Dunlop ,

How important is it that I see Lower Decks first? I keep hearing good things about it, and I will get to it eventually, but I’m not familiar with it at all beyond the premise.

@Fuzzy_Dunlop @Madison_rogue

Actually, the Lower Decks series makes numerous references to previous series on an ongoing basis and should be regarded as a spoiler.

I would recommend especially The Next Generation before Lower Decks.

jasep ,

I’d also like to know if there are specific Lower Decks episode(s) that should be watched first to fully appreciate the crossover.

CodingAndCoffee ,
@CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world avatar

Almost every anachronistic reference the Lower Decks characters make are references you’d catch from DS9, TNG, or Enterprise. You probably won’t enjoy the campy silliness as much as fans of Lower Decks, but it’s a great episode regardless of the crossover.

bestnerd ,

None. If you haven’t watched it it’ll make you watch it

jasep ,

I have watched a chunk of the first season, but for some reason it didn’t click for me. Which is weird because I love The Orville. Loving Strange New Worlds so I’m looking forward to this.

Thteven ,
@Thteven@lemmy.world avatar

It gets better, they were still finding their stride in the first season.

arusso ,

Haven’t seen it so I can’t say for sure, but I would at least watch a few episodes to get to know the characters. You may end up getting hooked and binging it, it’s a great show.

monsterlynn ,
@monsterlynn@kbin.social avatar

@Fuzzy_Dunlop
It's more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you'd probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn't written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.

sarcasticsunrise ,

What?!? Hell yes! Just about to start my weekend and the wife is out watching Oppenheimer. This season kinda started off sluggish with the opener, but every episode since has been solid

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

This is one of the rare times that I wish we had Star Trek on Paramount+ in Canada.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until Thursday.

FWIW, "this episode is live on Crave," someone noted at: https://startrek.website/post/460864

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

We’ve got CTV Sci-fi channel which means our other Trek content won’t be vanishing in August.

Who knows, perhaps CTV will add it ‘On Demand’ early.

ValueSubtracted Mod ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Space CTV Sci-Fi has a “special presentation” on the schedule tonight - I’m guessing it’s this episode.

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

Brilliant thank you! It’s showing in the schedule for 22:30 EDT.

Now if I can figure out how to get Bell Fibe to schedule a recording of a ‘Special Presentation’. (Or just brute force it.)

@StillPaisleyCat @tqgibtngo
Pluto streaming service has 2 channels that play nothing but Star Trek every day. The service is free.

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

Yup. It’s a help.

But everything new other than SNW is going away at the end of this month. It looks like Bell Media’s streaming licence is winding up and all the new stuff will be on Paramount+ in Canada rather than Crave.

@ValueSubstracted has confirmed with Bell Media that CTV Sci-fi Channel will continue to have everything - including Prodigy!

So, we’re sticking with linear for this.

And Bell Media knows it’s audience and is delivering a ‘Special Presentation’ to CTV Sci-fi Channel tonight so we’re golden.

This episode was amazing.

Madison_rogue OP ,
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

Agreed, it was so much fun!

ValueSubtracted Mod , (edited )
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I’m locking this because it’s turning into an episode discussion, and we already have one of those.

gashead76 ,
@gashead76@lemmy.world avatar

Since it came out early, does that mean there will be no new episode this coming Thursday, or will the season end earlier than it was going to?

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

It appears that episode 8 will drop next week given Subspace Rhapsody, episode 9, is announced for August 3rd.

Which does make for an earlier end to the season m.

ang3c0 ,

From someone who hasn’t watched any Lower Decks - that was absolutely fantastic. Felt like great Trek mixed with the Orville :)

andrewrgross ,
@andrewrgross@slrpnk.net avatar

Geez, go watch lower decks.

milkisklim ,

Lower decks is pretty good. Although like all trek, the first season takes a few episodes to get its pacing right.
