Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

I now wonder if for some of us will have to wait for the DVD/Blu-ray to come out to see an official release of Lower Decks.

If there was going to be an international release in line with the US and Canada I think we would've heard something from Amazon or Netflix by now but neither seems to have shown any interest in it.

Isn’t CBS launching All-Access internationally later this year? That may be where Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds end up.

I did wonder if that might be the reason why, but considering that we haven't heard a peep about CBS All Access in the UK yet I doubt we'll be getting it anytime soon.

Then again Disney made people here wait months to see The Mandalorian on Disney+. However while Netflix still has Discovery (as well as all the older shows) and Amazon has Picard it would mean for many people signing up to yet another service to see a Star Trek series.

If that is what will happen to Lower Decks I'd probably either sign up for 1 month (might cost nothing with a free trial) to see it or wait for the DVD/Blu-ray release.
 
I'm getting this:

This doesn't feel like region locking, so much as a browser compatibility issue. Got the latest Flash player plugin installed and I tried FireFox, Internet Explorer and Edge (all latest releases), and none of them work. Also, just in case, I tried bouncing my domain redirect through several places around the world and that didn't make it work either. I won't install Google Chrome spyware on my machine, so I guess I need to wait for another source. :mad:
 
It is region locking. Refresh the page and you'll see another message just before this one. Blink and you'll miss it. It says "We're sorry, this content is only available for viewing in Canada. 72"

Didn't work in Chrome either.

Try TOR browser extension for Firefox. Set the region to what might work.
 
Wow that was a great.
Another ship design spotted on the promo image at the end of the trailer.

Should we attach a spoiler tag to the thread?

It is clearly heavily inspired by TNG, which is a bit anachronistic, you see Romulans in the trailer wearing their TNG uniforms instead of their Nemesis uniforms. But fuck it, I'm all for the nostalgia and it's an animated series, plus maybe the full context will explain it.

I think you mean “anachronistic”. :lol:

This region blocking nonsense really is a fuck-faced way to conduct business in the digital age.

I always get that wrong. :lol:

Fixed.

Someone was right, they made them literally on the lower decks. Though on the saucer, not the pieces between the nacelles.

They're using TNG Stardates

This sign says "Qo'noSHSm"
Qo'noS is obviously the Klingon homeworld, but I can't figure out what the 'HSm' at the end is meant to mean

well this is what i expected dumb rick and morty shit oh well i'll still watch it if only for the probably small amount of caitian doctor stuff in it here's hoping the upcoming nickelodeon thing won't be as rick and mortyish as this
 
Interesting angle of the ship. I’m liking it a lot more than before, but I think the detachable warp sled theory has likely been debunked with that scene.
