Dave Foley?

It’s been an ongoing plot line that Migleemo is sort of a lemon at counselling.

It won an Emmy.

Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x04: “Something Borrowed, Something Green” (SPOILERS)

The title is a play on the wedding rhyme/tradition, dating back to 19th Century England, of the bride wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (and a sixpence in her shoe),” for good luck. The green, of course, refers to the pigmentation of Orions....

Subtle updates that don’t impact historical consistency are an acceptable compromise for conservation.

Tired8281 ,

Some of them, notably the Romulans, were a little stereotypey. I know they’re going for funny, but it’s Star Trek, makes me feel weird.

Tired8281 ,

What was revealed about the ship? It always does the same thing.

Tired8281 ,

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Tired8281 ,

working out their differences

Did you watch the same episode I did? They didn’t work out anything at all. That was what made it so special.

Tired8281 ,

I’m never going to watch the video. It’s not a good time right now, and I don’t think there will be a better time where I will be interested, because I disagree with the little information I have about it. A better description would help.

Kirk’s Gorn was the captain. Maybe he was old and feeble? Not suited for a fight, still pretty strong but no longer fast and agile. The Metrons chose the captains, not the best fighters.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody"

LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike....

We all must have done some pretty amazing stuff in our past lives, to deserve this season we are getting.

Can someone give me adivice on how/where to get back into star trek?

As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

Tired8281 ,

+1 for Equinox. The Void from season 7 also covers similar ground, with a dose of ‘maybe Starfleet’s ways of thinking are correct’.

Cost them my Paramount sub. And I told them that if I was gonna subscribe to a service, just for Star Trek, it darn well better have all of it.

Anyone else out there who actually really loved Discovery's S1 style of Klingons?

I am the kind of person who enjoys “big weird” scifi like Stanisław Lem. Stories about trying to relate to and find common ground with something so alien that the prospect of even understanding is basically hopeless. Star Trek usually doesn’t do stories that, which makes sense as it often uses alien races as allegories or...

Tired8281 ,

The whole deal with that is that they did it, in TOS, without any sort of explanation. We just had that dude, who McCoy discovered was really a Klingon, even though he looked just like a human. That whole thing is just adding an explanation for something that was long-since already there.

Also, you sound like you’re talking about the Orions. Do Klingons even have scientists? Somebody has to build the ships!

Tired8281 ,

There was also a Klingon scientist in the Enterprise 2 parter about how the Klingons got smooth heads. He even talked about what it was like being a scientist in a society of warriors.

Tired8281 ,

Perhaps being from such a hot planet, their cuisine consists of mainly chilled dishes.

Tired8281 ,

I feel like I’ve heard more people complaining about people complaining about this episode than I actually heard complaining about this episode. Feels sort of preemptive.

Tired8281 ,

I laughed my ass off, and it was still Star Trek to the core. What’s not to like? They are killing it this season.

Canon Connections: Strange New Worlds 2x04 - Among the Lotus Eaters

• The title refers to the Homer’s “Odyssey” when Odysseus’ voyage reached the land of the Lotus-eaters. These people’s primary food source was the fruit and flowers of the lotus, which was powerfully narcotic, and caused those of Homer’s crew who ate it to forget their desire to return home....

Tired8281 ,

The Trouble With Edward is indeed canon. Somewhere in the Federation, there’s Tribbles cereal, and someone who believes in it enough to make commercials for it.

Tired8281 ,

Honestly, I prefer the version of the future that contains that one dude who thinks hairy cereal is an absolute banger idea.

Tired8281 ,

I bet if you sailed on a late-80s unrefurbished cruise ship, it’d feel dinky and small.

Tired8281 ,

I’m just saying, our definition of luxury has moved since they built those sets in 1987.

Tired8281 ,

He must be off ship, because nobody on the Enterprise in seven years has the first clue what’s happening.

Tired8281 ,

I don’t understand that dude, needling the dude with no memory who was beating on him, then acting all surprised when that same dude puts a gun on him. Like, what was he trying to do? It seemed like he was trying to get Pike to kill him, but then he wasn’t. Wtf?
