This is the same guy who directed the Black Mirror’s Star Trek homage episode “USS Callistor”

I honestly think that Lower Decks has the potential to be the longest running Star Trek show.
I assume they are cheaper to produce than the live action shows so less risk for the executives but still decent return on investment.

I would love for them to do a cross over show again but Roger Rabbit style.

I would love for my food metaphors to come back
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x09: “The Inner Fight” (SPOILERS) 1 year ago:
The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”
But why? I don’t see a storyline connection/similarly between this episode and “The Inner Light”.
I think the episode is just about Mariner’s inner fight about being in Starfleet, and the similarity in title is just coincidental.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x09 "The Inner Fight" 1 year ago:
Lower Decks, the TNG episode was an amazing episode. I almost cried at the end - it was so sad and poetic as well and I agree that reviving her now would undo the beauty and weight of the Tang episode.

Mariner always has the funniest way of being annoyed or angry

Currently weighing up whether to get my partner to watch First Duty and Lower Decks before we watch it together later.
Both. The answer to that is both. Two of the finest TNG episodes.

This was actually funny (unlike the previous ones which were quite cringey).

T’Lyn’s voice always reminds me of the Alexa or Google Home, and it’s hilarious.

So apparently this is from the guy who did the “Too Many Cooks” special, which is kinda awesomely weird. It will be interesting to watch!
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
In between the first watch earlier this week and a rewatch tonight, I’ve listening to and humming the songs over and over again. I don’t know why people say the songs aren’t catchy. “Status Report” is sooo catchy, and it even has a little reprise with the “Apologies” at the beginning of the “Private Conversation” which is also very catchy actually.
“How Would That Feel” is beautifully rendered. I’ve started to listen to other Christina Chong’s songs now, and they are pretty good (listen to her “Twin Flames”).
Also, in the last seconds of the episode we had Uhura humming a theme. The closed caption says “Uhura humming ‘Keep us connected’”, which I believe is incorrect. She is humming the opening of Chapel’s “I am Ready” and Spock’s “I am the X”, not Uhura’s “Keep us Connected”.

Can confirm that it’s unavailable for me in the US as well, but if you VPN somewhere else, you can play it back.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Given that the subspace rhapsody spread to many other ships in the area, they could do a parallel episode from the point of another the ship, say the Farragut but it won’t be the same primary cast.

Gooding and Chong came from musical theatre though.

This is one of the Elle Cordova Technobabble songs being referred to for the uninitiated. It’s pretty funny.

If you watch the entire “The Ready Room” episode on this, you’ll also have Wil Wheaton sing his intro speech for a bit.
- Comment on Mr Spock belting out showtunes? How Star Trek became a fizzy, frantic romp 1 year ago:
This week’s barrage of show tunes kind of makes sense, given that this is a series that, Mr Benn-style, has been trying on a different genre every week.
I think this is one of the reasons SNW is so good.
The pick ’n’ mix approach of Strange New Worlds is a welcome palate cleanser, even if it means any overarching story arcs seem rather secondary.
And that is totally fine and even welcome!

Hehe, yeah, I guess, there’s no honor in that. :)

Yeah, I guess.
But also, jealousy can be a difficult emotion to deal with, and La’an already had to deal with a lot this and past season. But then again, she’s a tough one.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Oh yeah, great idea. Kinda like the Simpsons gag or so:
- If they ever have a mirror episode, the opening credits should be horizontally mirrored
- If they ever have a time travel episode, the opening credits should go backwards
- Another cross-over episode? DS9 or some other ship better appear in there! etc.

When I drive and the missus is in the passenger seat and I have to break harder than usual because an idiot in front of me, I sometimes yell “Brace for impact!”

I must confess that I don’t get the reference. Where was this from?

One time the company I worked at, they were expanding life insurance benefits for all employees, and I sent out a meme with Worf and the words “TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE” on an internal fun forum. It was highly upvoted, lol.

I confess that some of my emails about the project status sent to my manager was just entitled “Status Report”.
