If you’re a Paramount Plus subscriber, you can go watch Boimler of Lower Decks geek out over the cast of Strange New Worlds right now.

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

[–] linuxfiend@vmst.io 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yo ho ho, mateys! Never let corpo greed hold you back! 🦜

[–] linuxfiend@vmst.io 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for saving me the search 🤪🤘🏼

[–] Arcidias@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's 4K versions up already on usenet

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.

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

[–] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] monsterlynn@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] monsterlynn@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely a treat! You're welcome!

[–] mawkishdave@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This show was great, this season is amazing.

[–] JWBananas@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] AzPsycho@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed, it was so much fun!

[–] ang3c0@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

Geez, go watch lower decks.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] gashead76@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

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.

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

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

[–] lemick24@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's awesome!

[–] nyxlabs@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Wholesome, fuzzy and (somewhat) plausible, Worf's Honor! :)

I loved that they drew the intro!
Kudos, kudos, kudos.

[–] michaelcharles@lemmyjapan.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t suppose anyone knows how I can watch it in Japan without making like an Orion?

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As this episode will remind you, it's rude to assume all Orions are pirates.

[–] Kaloi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Some of them haven't been pirates for at least five years!

[–] danlikesstuff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This season has been great, but I have been hanging for this episode!!

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tqgibtngo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, thanks!
