Yay to season 4.

Agree. Codium goes brrrr, honestly.

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.

Lower Decks Eulogizing (startrek.website)

What’s your eulogy for Lower Decks?

Here’s mine: I wasn’t sure about Lower Decks for a well - I’d never been into the adult animation genre, and when I first heard of it, I had initially seen it as the wrong direction for Star Trek.

Finally, in late 2023, I watched it for the first time and was surprised to enjoy it.

Then came the crazy month of March 2024. I got rejected from all my dream schools, putting me in a sullen mood. I returned to the show and suddenly started resonating with Boimler as someone who had ambitions - some naive, some not - that weren’t always fulfilled, while I found the Cerritos to be kind of an analogue to the state school I would end up at.

Then, at the end of that month, a close family member shared their advanced pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and they passed a month after. That was when my attachment to Lower Decks solidified - I turned to it as a comfort show and really started to appreciate it. I think I’ve rewatched it twice since then - one randomly in the summer, and one to refresh my memory for the final season that began while I was doing the (mediocre) paint job for a 3D-printed combadge for a costume:

Overall, it’s probably my second favorite show in the franchise at this point, only behind DS9. I’m sure I’ll rewatch it plenty times more, though maybe a bit more sparingly - just one more this year to cope with the emptiness of no more new episodes. 🤭

Lower Decks! Lower Decks!

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 live action costume easier. 😉

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 Decks.

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 2 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.

According to Memory Alpha, there’s an okudagram in Prodigy that says Prime Harry’s a Lieutenant by 2384.

 

I knew it was Data the moment I noticed the head looked nothing like Data

 

In all seriousness, though, I swear I'm going to break into Rick Berman's house and send him to Gre'thor for what he did to Jadzia (and honestly, most of the female cast members at he time).

 

I made Cathode - don’t vote for it (or at least, don’t give it a high rank, since Debian uses ranked choice). It kind of sucks, honestly; I was just having fun.

I have a feeling Juliette Taka’s going to keep being the de facto face of Debian for a long time - I ranked hers first in the voting.

 

I guess for the thrill, same reason that I’m attempting LFS?

 

I’m wondering as a relative fediverse noob - are there any known issues when federating with lemmy.world?

I ask because I run a They Might Be Giants community there that I created with an alt account and moderate with my account on this instance, in part because as giant as they may be, I feel like a They Might Giants community doesn’t fit this instance (if I am wrong, might consider migrating it).

I made a post ~14 hours ago and it still hasn’t shown up on other instances. I’m guessing it’s either lemmy.world is a ginormous instance or it’s still on 19.3. I just find it weird because I’ve made posts without problems before.

Anyhow, glory to the admins of this instance; they honor their houses.

 

I was rewatching DS9: "Bar Association" and totally thought this is what should have been done instead, so here it is.

 

In Trek fandom, we often think about the badmirals. However, we never consider radmirals. With that in mind, who do you think is the best admiral? This includes commodores, vice admirals, rear admirals, etcetera.

I’m not counting main characters who got promoted after their main series e.g Picard, Kirk, Janeway, La Forge, etcetera.

 

Seriously, though. I think I've seen this guy in the grocery store down here in AZ.

 

Matt and Kimolu scream in terror. As a result, a Klingon tells the anaphasic presence to experience bij.

Let's bring glory to our friends in Cetacean ops!

 

Okay, I admit Vendome came after, but still, it's not like ops/security/engineering people have never become captain. Plus, come on. Vendome's face was just begging to be memed.

The main example I can think of from canonically before this moment is Uhura, though everyone was wearing red uniforms at the time.
