Garashir nation???? We're back???
If there was a second crossover between strange new worlds and lower decks I hope it would be the crew of the Enterprise ending up on the Cerritos but not ending up in the lower decks till halfway through the episode and until then they only interact with the bridge crew and miss the ensings by like a slim margin.
I don't know if anyone noticed this yet but Mariner was the furthest away from the portal when Boimler was pulled in but out of all of them she was the first to actually get to the portal.
Here's a shitty video of the promo for next week if anyone wants to watch it ! If anyone knows where this TV spot is available on Paramount+ could you let me know, cause I can only seem to get it as an ad??
Really enjoying Lower Decks season 5 so far. Love that personal space between these two are exponentially decreasing. 😏
The second image was whipped up in a hurry because discord was worried whether Mariner was alright.
“Lower Decks was made by people who hate Star Trek”
No, lower decks was made by people who love Star Trek enough to make an entire show about everything Star Trek is, to put in references to episodes that barely anyone knows about, to watch all of Star Trek enough to know every stereotype and running gag in the fandom, and to still make the show able to stand on its own 2 feet.
They put in a reference to the animated series episode “the infinite Vulcan” where Spock is cloned to be a massive Vulcan, they put in a reference in the comics about “The way to Eden” in their first edition, these are people who care about Star Trek enough to find every nook and cranny of it, and create a likeable show about it.
I am also a firm believer that if you truly like a show, you are able to point out that it does have flaws, and to accept that, and I feel that lower decks does that perfectly. It shows that your little perfect Star Trek show has flaws and inconsistencies, but shows that you can still enjoy watching the show, as well as you can fix those mistakes or just have it be funny.
I really like lower decks. 🫠
See you at the bottom brahs. This canary is about to fly.
Something something something Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig’s convention performances walked so lower decks could run something something
Also damn, spirk and garashir in like a month? We’re eating so good
Lily: We don't need to meet new species. William: Okay. Then why bother exploring at all? Lily: To better understand ourselves. It's fun to learn about aliens. But learning about humanity? That's something else. I've met humans who've built rings around the sun. I've met others whose ships are the size of continents. I'm learning about what humans can be, mapping our potential. So far, it's limitless. William: I never thought about it like that.
I know people are justifiably excited about one part of the newest Lower Decks episode and there are many posts about it. But I wanted to thank Mike McMahon for explicitly stating what Trek is all about. There are a number of people in the fandom who think Star Trek is all about space exploration and fail to understand the exploration is about who we are as a species and a society.
Finally! The ''science'' behind the ''rocks''
Star Trek makes me wish I studied STEM yo
Bij - pronounced "beej" - a Klingon word meaning "punishment" or "suffering"
The best part about this scene was it was actually Migleemo who called Meema, not the other way around ("she needs to see her boy in the captain's chair!").
Star Trek: Lower Decks "Trusted Sources"
Oh god, the trending.
I have been dreading this.
Time to figure out tag filtering, and then beg streaming services that I'm actually on, to get ofmd.
This and lower decks are like big (comparatively small, but eh) weights hanging over my life rn.
Aaaaaaaa! I want to join in the fun!!!!
I love that Mariner's ideal mentor is Janeway. She is my people.
Two years ago, the first episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks had aired, and the world was introduced to the charming bunch of plucky ensigns of the USS Cerritos.
To celebrate this occasion and the upcoming crossover with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, here's a little comic—based on a script by CEO of Star Trek and a sketch I made, brought to life by the amazing talent of @serial02721—that revisits one of the show's most iconic scenes. We'd like to thank Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid for the work they put into their characters, Mike McMahan for being the creative mind behind the show, Dave Ihlenfeld for writing this beautiful scene, and the rest of the cast and crew for giving us this awesome cartoon!
Lower Decks gets it:
“I’m sorry, I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t join Starfleet to get in phaser fights. I signed up to explore, to be out in space making new discoveries, and peaceful, diplomatic solutions. That’s boldly going. And you know what? I’d love to be in a string quartet. I loved that when Riker was on the Enterprise he was out there jamming on the trombone, and catching love disease, and acting in plays, and meeting his identical transporter clone Thomas. That stuff may not seem as cool as what you guys do, but it’s Starfleet. All the way.”

Lower Decks knows what’s up:

That’s the real Star Trek, that’s the kind of Star Trek I love watching the most

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Strange Energies”
Lower Decks S2E1 Cold Open
Spoilers for Lower Decks S2E1
So in the cold open, Mariner is basically arguing with a hologram version of Boimler, she said that she's angry at him for leaving her without saying goodbye.
So she basically is happy for Boimler leaving to fulfill his dreams of rising to the ranks but is outright angry at him for leaving without saying goodbye.
What do you think would happened if Boimler came to Mariner to say goodbye? i literally have two scenarios.
Scenario 1: typical friends saying goodbye.
Scenario 2: Mariner admitting her feelings to Boimler before leaving to the Titan.
