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

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.

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 TNG 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!

 

For those who watched DS9 during its first airings, did it seem odd to you that Vic Fontaine/James Darren sang entire songs in the later seasons of DS9?

I only finished watching DS9 recently and just found it really odd. It seems out of place in the regular TNG/DS9 format, didn't drove the plotline forward, and sometimes felt just like a filler.

(I don't mean to be disrespectful, I like the character and the actor can sing well, I am just curious why the producers made that decision).
