The Crew of the ISS Enterprise becoming refuges in the Primeverse is a cool idea. But I did not need another tedious backstory.

Dadmiral!

It says a lot that we are still talking about Jellico thirty years after Chain of Command. And he got Troi in a normal uniform.

IMO Rayner is not an asshat the way Jelllico and Shaw were asshats, I think he's a good person. Being gruff does not automatically make a person bad. I know a lot of gruff yet nice people IRL. Rayner's method of interviewing the crew was unusual, but demonstrated that he genuinely cares about and is interested in the crew. Rayner is a great addition to the crew, and Michael made a good decision to make him her XO. I look forward to seeing what he does next.

I wish they would just jump ahead to The Testaments.

It will be hard to see LD go, but if this great show goes out on a high, that will be good.

Agreed, the show can now explore some new territory without retconning everything. I would like to see the tech develop to the point where they can think about visiting other galaxies, that might be a good way to end the series. They can say hi to the Andromeda folks from "By Any Other Name" who turned people into cubes.

I am shipping power couple T'Rina and Saru.

"The real mission was to learn about ourselves"! Yep, the Lower Decks comment was me! LD and Strange New Worlds still has lots of character development and world building with efficient story telling.

By coincidence I am now watching “The Chase” which essentially the plot of the whole final season of Disco, but in one episode.

I’m confused. If they decommissioned the Spore Drive why is Disco still going to Black Alert?

He reminds me of Shaw in Season Three of Picard. He is sure to suffer a similar fate, but not before we learn about his traumatic backstory🙄.

Agreed. I have a soft spot for big, ambitious TV Shows and Films that don't always quite hit the mark but still have a lot to offer. This was one of the most original show I've seen in a long time. Hoping for a second season. I'd be fine with a 400 year time jump,.

Michael must be thinking: "This Picard guy sure get mentioned a lot."

I predict conflict! Roddenberry would not approve. Every other captain ever has done something like that.

So another season-long arc for a plot Lower Decks could wrap up in 22 minutes. I’m here for the ride though. The actress playing T’Rina must have neck strain from looking up at her betrothed. I’m sure Fred can be reanimated.

And it’s back on CTV Sci Fi! Ok then.

Finally some gorgeous clothes!!! I liked how all the employees wore lab coats, I was reminded of Phantom Thread. Question: the fashion industry is very gendered. So what’s a male seamstress? A tailor is something different. I’ve always considered Coco Channel as the person who helped revolutionize fashion, liberating women from the restrictive dresses that were worn at the turn of the 20th Century. Here she is doing…something else. That said, I can’t be too judgemental of what anybody might have done to survive the Nazi occupation.

This may have already been posted: in Canada all the new Treks are only available on Paramount +. Frak the streaming gods.

The San Ti already know all there is to know about humans. How would a frozen head increase their knowledge or empathy? I hope Will’s head was truly dead, being a self-aware frozen head in space for hundreds of years is nightmare fuel.

She may be asexual, except whatever it is she feels for Sergio

You would probably end up drinking a lot of the nanofibres. Which would do…..interesting things to your digestive system.

Poor Saul, he is such a good person and an extremely supportive friend, especially to Will. I cannot help but think how all that unquestioned power isn't going to corrupt and destroy him, even if his intentions are the best. The other two Wallfacers are used to power. I noticed that the UN introduced Saul as someone who "Works with the best minds", not A Best Mind himself. Interesting. As for the rest of the world, I think we would handle the arrival of the San Ti the same way as global warming: It's a huge problem, but we don't have to worry about it right now. After the initial panic and novelty wears off, most people will go back to trying to live their lives.

Did somebody sabotage Staircase for some reason? Or was it simply one of those space things where one in a million things goes wrong? This reminded me of For All Mankind: it’s always a loose cable that will frak up your mission.

Maybe they are is suspended animation? Give me 400 years and I’ll figure out how to build a warp drive or a Stargate thing.
