Star Trek: Lower Decks

It’s wild that this year we’ve gotten:

S3 of PIC
S2 of SNW
And now S4 of this show.

The gravy train could keep going, but it’s assuredly going to end after this. I really friggin hate hate hate the Hollywood suits that are depriving us of even more of this goodness all because of unbridled greed. This could have been the best year of Star Trek in decades, and instead it’s going to end on a sour note, followed by a needless drought.

Episodes 1 and 2 didn't quite work for me, but 3 was great. And agreed, I like T'Lyn a lot, but that's true for Vulcans in general.

Boimler continues to be the most adorable person ever.

T'Lyn has been such a natural fit it's kind of amazing that the showrunners didn't initially consider adding her after the one-off episode she appeared in and seemed surprised by her popularity.

Loved the running gag of Mariner getting knifed in the shoulder multiple times. It's such a simple gag but so funny to me.

I think they considered it for sure, because if you'll recall that episode ended with her being shipped off to Starfleet. And IIRC work on S4 began before that episode even aired. But yeah, adding a proverbial "straight man" to continually comment on the insanity/shenanigans of the other four Lower Deckers adds a perfect balance. I'm just surprised they didn't realize that from the get go.

I loved the part where Mariner was like Oh hell no, Imma just hide over here, this is too wild for even me - and the knife still ricochets its way to her shoulder :ROFLMAO:

Mariner also got knifed in that same spot when they were retreiving the doctor's box. She should check her shoulder for magnets.

Fantastic episode this week confirming that T'Lyn is a great addition to the cast. Feral T'Ana was a hoot, and the Betazed trio were a lot of fun (and I'm pretty sure one of em was voicied by Eda from Owl House, we need Wendie Malick voicing more surly ladies in animation).

The season has been on fire so far.

Amazing episode, absolutely hilarious. Favorite joke were the Romulans, but the whole episode made me go from laughing to aww and back all the time. And yeah, the Betazoids were great.

I also love that we got to see a security team on Trek kicking ass.
