I’m excited for the Lower Decks one.
For SFS, though, “classic film” is one euphemism for it. 😆

Yay to season 4.

I agree. Experience bij, Paramount!

It’s not a spoiler. It’s from season one.

One thing that suggests Broken Mirror’s mirror universe is the prime one is the uniforms borrow a lot of conventions from the IDE TNG Mirror comics, which sorts out a way the empire resurges.

I might add we saw a different Terran empire variant of the Cerritos in 2x08 “I, Excretus”, albeit a holodeck one.

My joking theory is they did the weird Rutherford implant removal to make his costume easier. 😉
- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 1 day ago:
It depends. The Cerritos is passingly mentioned in Prodigy, which suggests at least one version (probably ours) of the Cerritos is in the prime timeline.

I met someone who actually got into TNG because of Lower Decls.

I feel like I’ve been pulled off Ketracel white cold turkey. So many good episodes. My ultimate conclusion is the best episode is probably season 3 finale, with season 4 finale very close behind.
The Rutherford thing was weird - they could have written in a bit more foreshadowing. I’m gonna tell myself it’s a way to make Eugene Cordero’s makeup easier for a live action film. 😉

I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time an Ariolo has spoken on screen.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 5x09: “Fissure Quest” (SPOILERS) 1 week ago:
According to Memory Alpha, there’s an okudagram in Prodigy that says he’s a Lieutenant by 2384.

There was so much joyful “Eeeeee”-ing during this episode.

- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x08 "Upper Decks" 2 weeks ago:
This episode almost gives me Last Airbender “Tales of Ba Sing Se” vibes. It was especially nice to get to check in on a bunch of regular side characters for what might be the last time.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x08 "Upper Decks" 2 weeks ago:
At the end of the episode, I was like, “Oh my gosh! It’s that one random cadet!”
I also chuckled at Shax’s conflict; I thought they were going to reveal he had been living with some sort of engramic virus or something after an accident.

I’d say the only one that competes with it for me is Generations.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 5x07: “Fully Dilated” (SPOILERS) 2 weeks ago:
The appearance of the D once again brings me back to the question - is each reality also in the year 2382, or is there a temporal differential that randomly varies?
There are a couple other instances begging this question:
- Captain Tersal is wearing a TNG-era uniform. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to just say the uniform was never retired in her timeline and are intended to be kept largely the same like the monster maroons, but it still presents a possibility.
- Boimler is able to read about alt-Boimler’s missions on the alt-PADD. Does this mean alt-Boimler’s timeline is a bit ahead, or is the PADD somehow maintaining its connection with the alternate timeline?
I might also add that it being a Galaxy Class Enterprise alone does not mean it is the D - we only know it’s the Enterprise D because of Ransom calling it “the purple D”.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 5x07: “Fully Dilated” (SPOILERS) 2 weeks ago:
I have my own theory that alt-Boimler is actually William Boimler tasked to replace his other self for mysterious Section 31 reasons. He even says “No one deserves to be replaced by their own clone.”
However, that theory aside, I joke that there’s a chain of modelling off alternate realities that spans the ship ranks, the various levels of admirals, the Federation presidency, the Travelers, the Q Continuum, and beyond.

What’s weird is in the IDW comics, Data has become a severed head again as well.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x07 "Fully Dilated" 3 weeks ago:
I’m a little sad. When I saw a time dilation plot, I was honestly expecting an unexpected romance to begin between Mariner and one of the other two (probably T’Lyn) - not like it fully develops, but like something weird to show up in the possible future we better get in the finale.

- Comment on B’Elanna’s stance on afterlife. 3 weeks ago:
I think B’Elanna’s not sure what to think of her “Barge of the Dead” experience and can’t tell if it was real or just some weird hallucination.
“I hope so” indicates that uncertainty.

Bearded Rutherford actually looks pretty sharp.
Also, I find it rather funny that the prewarp civilization kind of just looks like a bunch of bargain bin Andorians. I bet Mariner will say my words almost verbatim.

I felt that too and cried a little when he wasn’t in the IMDB
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x06 "Of Gods and Angles" 4 weeks ago:
Yeh. I think part of it is it’s just hard to match season 4. I think the series’ single funniest dialogue comes from “Trusted Sources”.
Ransom: “How much do bench?”
Magistrate: “We don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads!”
Ransom: “Cool. I bench 25.”
- Comment on Best (or least terrible) Flag Officer 4 weeks ago:
Phasers or Bat’leths (Mek’leths are fine as well).
We could also do a round of Chula, a solar sail race, ambo-jitsu, springball, darts, etcetera.
