Star Trek: Lower Decks

Hey, so mpreg Rutherford was not on my bingo card, but I probably shouldn't be surprised given the history of this show so far.

Another instant-classic episode this week, btw.

Hello I am a fan of Ma'ah and I hope he appears in season 5 thanks for reading my post
 
I just really liked the contrast between this season finale, and when Mariner got drummed off the ship. It's a great contrast of how much she's grown as a character, and thus engendered much deserved respect, admiration, and loyalty from the rest of the crew.

This season was great. My only real complaint was that Boimler often felt like a side character through most of the season. To the degree that it made me wonder if they wrote the scripts around Jack Quaid's schedule or something. But honestly that's not a big deal when he's probably had the lion's share of character development in previous seasons, and the lesser spotlight on him this season gave characters like Tendi and Rutherford and T'Lyn more screen time and opportunity to develop as well.

I hope this show goes on for another 4 seasons.

Yeah, the season was really good. Nice final too.

I believe those Ferengi made that Rule of Aquisition up. Sounds VERY un-Ferengi.

The show runner said Ma'ah will be in Season 5, so your wish has been granted.

Probably not made up. I know at least one of the additional Rules of Acquisition that they've used in the show was from the non-canon Rules of Acquisition books written by Ira Stephen Behr. Mike McMahan knows his Star Trek and what does and doesn't fit in-universe to a fault.

This interview on Screen Rant says Ma'ah will be back in season 5.
As for Rules of Acquisition, 289 is definitely a bit more confrontational than most, but it mentions profits! So it works for me. But either way, there's always the unwritten rule from Voyager's False Profits:
"I told you there was no rule."
"Then it's time to invoke the unwritten rule."
"The unwritten rule?"
"When no appropriate rule applies… make one up."
"That's a very good rule."

Trivia nugget about the S4. finale, via blog.trekcore.com

The Steamrunner-class ship that Mariner steals from Nova Fleet is the USS Passaro (NCC-52670), named for digital artist Fabio Passaro who made a number of contributions to the Star Trek franchise — including to the line of now-defunct Eaglemoss starship models. Passaro passed away in 2022 at the age of 52, and the ship’s registry number is his birthday (May 26, 1970).
