Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x02 - "Envoys"

She said that Klingon was bald.

The closed caption had her say “old guy”, not “bald guy”.

Hm well then.

 

[eschaton]

Yeah, they seem to treat ensigns as the lowest rank. They’ve forgotten about enlisted personnel

How many of them other than O'Brien have anything other than an extra somewhere in the background?

"As soon as that kid graduates from the Academy, I'm going to have to call him sir." - Miles O'Brien.

 

[Kelso]

I loved it.

 

[fireproof78]

Why did the guy in sick bay say "thank god" at the end? He was Bajoran, shouldn't he thank the Prophets? One of the few slip ups.

Maybe he had picked up a human colloquialism.

You see a lot of them in TNG with the rank of “crewmen”. There was even a episode called Drumhead I think that goes into what is the difference between them and officers.

I just think being a officer should at least give you quarters. Even if you have to share with someone.

That make sense. After moving to England, I started using English colloquialisms alien to culture for the sake of blending in.

I haven’t had this much fun with Trek in a long time.

The episode had heart too with Mariner helping to give Boimler his confidence back..

She doesn't get credit for fixing the problem she created.

Boimler being woefully underprepared to handle situations isn’t Mariner’s fault.

Agree. I love that it loves being Star Trek, and does so unabashedly. The franchise couldn’t sustain itself on this alone, but it’s a nice leavening of the streaming Trek shows. So far I haven’t been convinced by serialization, and it’s nice to have some episodic silliness.

I thought the old-school Ferengi was very funny — especially the greedy hand motions gag.

The architecture in the Andorian Quarter has some hints of the bridge set of the Andorian ships seen in Enterprise.

This goes back to at least DS9 "The Alternate":

Dr. Mora Pol: "I've done it to you again, haven't I, Odo? Made you a prisoner? Dear God, what have I done?"

For all we know, mainstream Bajorans have at least one God in addition to having Prophets. Prophets aren't Gods, as the separate terminology attests - and no character actually likens them to such, unless alien to the faith and/or simplifying things to those alien to the faith.

Or hell, it could just be the writer forgetting the character was Bajoran, or they became Bajoran during the art phase.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I want the Crewmen to show up in just one episode (let's call it "Below Decks") as some sort of rarely seen underclass that even our heroes treat with a little bit of contempt.

It's the UT acting up again. The guy really said some ancient colloquial prayer praising the Prophets and wishing good will on her d'jarra and that the Kai should bless the ship and so on and so on, but the UT just spit out "Thank God".

Strange thing is they had a guy thank the prophets in the same episode

I don't see how that's strange.
