CrayonMaster ,

You know, I was starting to think they were milking the resolution for Tendi’s arc. Like, we found out 4 episodes ago, then they brought it up last episode, now it’s a plot point again; you can’t stretch out the climax that long.

But it turns out we’re still in the rising action, this was just a stepping stone. I love this show.

Interesting coincidence that Tom Paris and Not Tom Paris both have a penchant for designing ships

Taleya ,

Mark twain was the callback of the century 😂😂

Pickle_Jr ,

Yooo it went from T’Lyn being like, “I am staying to focus on being your Bestie,” to Tendi saying, “ight, outie!” In like 30 seconds. ,💀💀💀

It is logical to assume that Tendi will back back within a few episodes.

Is this the first time we've seen Starfleet deploy a kinetic missile?

CeruleanRuin ,

So Nick Locarno is definitely a living planet now, right? They made sure to point out that the new planet was made using his molecules. I’m thinking he’s basically Ego now.

Also how great was it to see Wesley again, before he turned into a Time Lord? Anyone? Just me?

I may have squee’d a little…

No, it’s just an M class planet like any other. It’s kinda like fertilizing a plant with a person’s remains.

CeruleanRuin ,

Yeah but this is Lower Decks we’re talking about.

EarMaster ,

I liked how the remnants of the explosion formed the pattern of a Kolvoord Starburst maneuver.

Migleemo’s fight scene was great. After that puffy plumage and thinking himself tough shit was pretty damn funny.

Honestly i kinda want a episode about him. we still don’t know what his species is and clearly the plumage thing is more than just for show…or is it…

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

I strongly disagree that he lost that fight, though. They were both incapacitated, it was clearly a draw!

ieightpi ,

Agreed. Especially since he was still moving while she wasn’t

Hogger85b ,

He tapped out

CrayonMaster ,

After she was unconscious.

triktrek ,

I would love for my food metaphors to come back

askryan ,

If Locarno had kidnapped like Harry Kim or Geordi or some shit and put them on that viewscreen like he did Mariner, we would have had a full episode’s worth of them interminably trying to find a way to play along and send a secret message out and agonizing over the situation, when just yelling “this guy’s an idiot and his plan is stupid” is genuinely a vastly better plan.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

“This guy suuuucks!” was so perfect.

Steve ,

This whole episode was surprisingly mature

e_t_ Admin ,

If I had a nickel for every time a Genesis device was used to reconstruct a nebula into a planet (instead of its intended purpose of terraforming an existing planet), I'd have two nickels-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Well, maybe not so weird when the second time was a direct callback to the first time.

Magnetar ,

Basically an Expanse-episode:

  • Nicholas Locarno ≈ Marco Inaros
  • Mariners pet Genesis Device ≈ Millers pet nuke

spoiler for The Expanse finale* Battle inside trinar shield ≈ battle inside ring space

ieightpi ,

I hope the parallels were intentional. The Expanse is the fucking best. Here’s hoping for the final 3 seasons once the case has aged properly

Stormygeddon ,

This episode seems full of subtle allusions or homages, albeit possibly accidental, considering how much that ice field scene looked so much like Titan A.E.

The part at the end where you could see Tendi flip the switch from being Starfleet officer Tendi to Mistress of the Winter Constellations was great. Curious to see where they go with that. Even though her heart is in being a science officer, from what we’ve been shown she’s very good at being a space pirate leader.

Shameless copied from trekbbs thread

Mariner looks good in a captain seat with her trusty GD by her side. 😜 Love the twok references.

Where’s the steamrunners phaser banks?

USS Passaro being a steamrunner class does seem to be keeping with the Mark Twain steamboat theme.

AngryCommieKender ,

The steamrunner gets no phasers. Only photon torpedos and reinforced plating on the bow for excessive repeated ramming manouevers

ThrowawayInTheYear23 ,
@ThrowawayInTheYear23@lemmy.world avatar

Nvm. Apparently its a sabrerunner class. Steamrunner aestechics at sabre class size.

Stormygeddon ,

The Ice Debris field have me Titan AE vibes, especially with making a new planet at the end.

Thaaaat’s what it is from. I knew I knew it from somewhere, but was thinking it was maybe Andromeda or even another BSG reference.

It tickles me that brining Shannon Fill out of retirement for a handful of lines gave her her first screen credit since 1995.
