Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x04 - "Moist Vessel"

[BillJ]

...pining for the opposite sex.

Three times in four episodes by my count.

Arguably bleeping the words us funnier because what you fill in is likelier funnier that anything they could have actually said.

The kids show Arthur did that joke and it was great.

 

[Kelso]

Had to look up what on Earth 'cis' meant there.

No one is taking umbrage, read the posts again. I was just questioning how reasonable it is to actively complain that a show that's 4 episodes in hasn't shown any gay characters yet. Especially since we've barely even seen any relationships or pining for the opposite sex.

It's reasonable to expect the sexual orientation of a show's characters to be revealed in the first four episodes, and to expect something other than blanket heteronormativity.

The terms "cis" and "cisgender" have been in popular usage for a while now.

I don't know that I was actively complaining. I was just lamenting that it wasn't looking good. I mean, I finished it with 'Where's my Culber at?' which I was using to give it a less serious spin if anyone was feeling I was upset. Text and tone, man.

And if there happen to be no major Q+ characters, I'll be disappointed. It's not the end of the world.

Why bleep the swear words on CBSAA?? The line about the holodeck would have been much funnier with (what I imagine) the real words intact.

As Trekker said, I find the bleeping even more hilarious for some reason.

Wait, what?

Bleeps can be really funny. Have you ever seen the video where Count von Count sings and the word 'count' is bleeped?

Naomi?

only one person ascended as an energy being

 

[Hythlodeus]

only one person ascended as an energy being

that's not a girl, but a grown ass woman

 

[fireproof78]

Wait, what?

I don't think it was swearing but they used ambient noise to essentially censor what a bully was saying they were going to do to a character.

 

[rhllot]

that's not a girl, but a grown ass woman

Actually if we see it from our perspective she was about 5 years old

 

[Hythlodeus]

in ocampa years that's like 70

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I think you misheard. Consider...

materialize/de-materilize
sensitize/de-sensitize
contaminate/de-contaminate

corporeal/...


cor·po·re·al

relating to a person's body, especially as opposed to their spirit.

having a body.

I did not mishear. Checking both the audio and CC, he says, "decorporation."

Next time, spare the vocabulary lesson. I did not find it informative or helpful.

hahaha the point is that she ascended

 

[Hythlodeus]

the point is, she's not a girl

Interesting there is a definition regarding that phrase: (pathology, of a chemical) To remove from a (human or animal) body.

Now, I did not know this and I found it as an odd term, but it isn't entirely inappropriate.

 

[ToddCam]

I prefer discorporating myself.

I prefer discorporating myself.

So do I (and so did my search engine) but it wasn't as inaccurate a term as I thought upon first glance.

By virtue of containing the root "corp," it will bear resemblance to any word having to do with bodies, be they human (corporeal) or social (corporation). However, the word "decorporation" seems to have very specific legal and medical uses. I suspect that this is a malapropism that shows us just what a phony the guy is. (Indeed, don't they show he wasn't truly committed to "ascension?")

 

[Hawku]

I remember the joke in the 90s. "Of course there's a God in Star Trek. Kirk and the Klingons killed him, though."

"Excuse me. What does a koala need with a starship?"

Don’t forget this dude...



For the record, he wasn’t a girl either.
