How so?No it doesn't? They're two different shows.
I just noticed in this episode that the blueshirts wear white shoes/boots and everybody else wears standard black. This is probably way too much of a stretch but my first thoughts were of in TNGs Birthright where Alexander Siddig walks off camera and you can accidentally see his (not costume accurate) white shoes.
Ummm....
Disco starts when LDS ends?
Other than that, I got nothing, like everyone else. Except Rama, apparently.
For the first time, at least, I could see the bones of a decent traditional Trek episodes buried underneath the parody and over the top-ness.
Too bad. I saw fleshed out people.
You're in the wrong thread, this is the third episode of Lower Decks discussion.
That doesn't seem to matter, apparently.
-26 years and 1 month until Season 7 of TNG.
You know, that's the "reference" I think they're going for too but, damn, that's a small and tight one.
Yeah, that's why I'm half thinking it can't be, it's just REALLY specific to one accidental costume mistake in a brief scene that probably went unnoticed by 99% of the people who saw it.
I only know about it because it was in the Nitpicker's Guide books.
Or because the blue trim on the LD boots show up better against a white boot backgrouund than they do on black.
I rewatched the episode last night and I think I originally read it wrong. When I originally gave this episode a 6 (And I stand by that), I just didn't like the message of you should always break the rules. Watching the episode again, I have to wonder how Freeman became a captain because she really is not a good captain. I think that was the point of the entire episode. She was so upset that the ship and crew didn't get the "cool" assignments and found the buffer time as a scapegoat reason why. Then the end of the episode she takes the other extreme and points Boimler as the reason why, almost in an insulting kind of way. Maybe the episode wasn't about always breaking the rules. It was about how this crew is kind of incompetent and Boimler, of all members, came out smelling like roses, until we find out they still ignored him. I know they sold this show as a lower class ship, but I'm not sure how I feel about a crew of incompetents doing incompetent things. I mean this is still the federation right? They should have higher standards?
I am hoping we finally get to Cardassia Prime in this series.

JT Esteban and John Harriman wave hi!
They should? What should their standards be?
Look at Captain Esteban of the U.S.S. Grissom from STIII:TSFS or Captain Harriman of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-B in comparison and no, she seems more competent compared to both of them.
We've been used to the Paragon Captains (like Kirk and Picard); so yeah, I can get why seeing a 'Captain of lesser ability' might make Star Fleet Captain selection seem incompetent, but hey, that's just how life is, even in the late 24th century - and not all Star Fleet Captains are either Kirk or Picard <--- They're special and not the norm.
Freeman OTOH is more in the mold of Esteban or Harrison - but IMO still MORE competent than either of those two. (YMMV).
I mean, they gave the brand-new Enterprise to a young Captain who in non-canon lore was just the son of a well-respected Admiral. Maybe Harriman earned the right to command the 1701-B and succeed the legendary James Kirk as commanding officer of the ship with the most famous name in Starfleet but GEN never gave us the indication one way or the other. Captains don't always come with the best performance record nor do they build one while in the job.
